Professional Dog Training - Fun Session with a Borzoi Puppy!

[@cerberusk9uk]

But they do grow up very tall, very majestic in motion. Imagine a big greyhound with silky feathering. 👍

[@mw1949]

“Little” and “not sturdy”... When a puppy is so large people assume it’s an adult. Someone show this man a full grown zoi!!

[@wholesome122]

He’s talking about emotional and mental fragility mostly I think

[@thekillerbunny]

I was thinking the same thing. Like, this little guy is hardly 4 months old it seems.... they get to be full grown around 3 years... so just wait until then and then we'll see what their breeding was really about ;) (I have 2 female borzoi, 2 years each)

[@ChrisH930S]

My male is 1yr old and still growing, 90# already. His dad is a buck thirty five lives on a farm in Missouri and killed a feral hog solo one night

[@onebigunicorn]

This is a borzoi puppy, so that means he is still a bit unsure about things. He will grow up to be ~80cm tall, ~40kg dog, graceful and agile, and very much capable of hunting and running at great speeds. When they used to hunt wolfs with them, it was always pack of three. With regard to fragility, or being careful about the amount of exercise, that's only true when they are growing. That's because, as any large or extra large breed of dog, these puppies grow rapidly, and you need to be careful not to overstrain them, in order for them not to damage their joints etc. Borzoi are 'fragile' in a sense that they do not tolerate a rough behaviour, because they have are very sensitive. Please make sure to do provide complete infromation when talking about things like this. But I wish you well, you are very gentle with the puppy, and that's very nice to see. You obviously care about animals greatly. I also liked the idea with how to teach them to fetch! Cheers!

[@StonnieDennis]

onebigunicorn Do you have a link to some of your work with Borzoi? I would love to see it? Please provide complete information when making posts like this.

[@onebigunicorn]

It seems you take offence too easily. I'm not a professional trainer, and I didn't comment negatively on your training capabilities, so there is no reason for me to prove myself to you by showing you 'my work'. I'm a borzoi owner, and that's why I wanted to give you a bit of more correct info on the breed. No one knows everything and there is always something we can learn from others. Cheers!

[@StonnieDennis]

"Too easily" is a matter of perspective, I guess. But here's the thing, a polite comment would have been something along the lines of, "Stonnie, I've read that Borzois actually grow up to be very robust hunting dogs, what do you think about what I have read." or maybe, "Stonnie, I have extensive experience with the Borzoi breed and many specific bloodlines; some are fragile some are very resilient. I would love to provide more information if you like." When a commenter says things like, "please provide complete information when talking about things like this", well that's kind of rude. A ten minute KZbin video is not the proper format for providing "complete information". That's why I asked if you had a link to your work. Puppy's that can have their joints damaged easily or cannot handle rough behavior are fragile, by definition. That was the whole point of the video. I made a fun little video, with information relevant to this puppy in particular and my experience with Borzoi in general. I've made no claims about being a Borzoi expert. I've actually seen videos of very hardy examples of the breed, but those videos came from Russia; I've never been to Russia so I can't speak on the dogs in the videos. You came into the comments section, and started providing Wikipedia level information instead of engaging in dialogue about the particular video. That, in my opinion, is poor etiquette.

[@onebigunicorn]

okay, hard to have a discussion with a person who is offended easily, doesn't want to hear other people's input and is trying to put down someone else's comment (talking about wikipedia etc). As I said, I was nice to you, and you are actually the one who is quite rude now. So I'm not interested in any additional dialogue​ with you, Have a good life.

[@StonnieDennis]

onebigunicorn If you want to have a conversation with me, you have to bring some expertise or something else interesting to the table. You brought neither. Why would I want to have a conversation with someone who has nothing to offer? That’s a serious question. In life, if one wants to give an opinion and be taken seriously, that it’s important to bring something significant into the dialogue. If you were really been trying to be polite, you would have asked me a question instead of telling what should be in the video.

[@micheleobrien1516]

They are sensitive more than fragile. But he is still just a baby!

[@sydbrockyo5788]

You are obviously very experienced with dog training and I love how patient you are with this little guy. There are a lot of people getting offended about you calling him fragile, because a borzoi is certainly a capable and strong dog- But also your statement makes plenty of sense speaking of a puppy especially if you’re used to more headstrong tanky dogs like labradors and bull terriers. I would also think it’s best to behave as if a zoi is fragile because they don’t tolerate very rough handling. Anyway, great video, and a very special little puppy!

[@AdoobibullTwins3n4]

Added to list of many who don’t know Jack shit about borzoi. This dog is probably 4 months old and is a very typical young borzoi in behavior. As adults, they are a large breed with a personality that can do a complete 180 when prey is in sight. Attend a lure coursing event and see just how intense these dogs can become in the flip of a switch. If you saw a full grown adult borzoi, especially one that’s seen prey, you’d change your commentary on the breed.

[@StonnieDennis]

I’m the first one to admit that I am no expert on Borzoi, but I’m not sure how you would equate chasing a lure with chasing a wolf. I’ve seen Russian Borzoi hunting wolves, but I’ve never seen anything demanding asked of the dogs here in the States. I had a Russian Borzoi breeder tell me that the dogs in North America are weak and not bred for resiliency and drive; is that not true?

[@AdoobibullTwins3n4]

Stonnie Dennis Look into Open Field Coursing here in the states. It’s an event where sighthounds, including borzoi, chase live game. However, outsiders have a hard time getting into such groups. Probably why you’re ignorant to this sports existence in the states so, I don’t know if you’d be able to attend one but, there are videos and stuff online about it so that you can see. There’s not exactly wolves running across every state of the US these days but, OFC is the hunting of live game to those of us who still want our sighthounds to do what they were bred for. Not all American borzoi are stay home pets. There are breeders here who specialize in field dogs and many owners who have dogs who are wonderful show dogs as well as coursers and hunters. They’re just not in the spot light like the overbred breeds like labs and shepherds. My first borzoi was a sweetheart but, he managed to chase down a pack of coyote, single one out, grab it, and throw it down to the ground in a flash and treat it like it was nothing but, a rag doll. He did the same to a bull terrier at the beach who got too rough with him and he did not like it. He grabbed it by the neck and shook it, tossing it onto its back. I don’t know why you keep saying “little fragile” dogs about borzoi. Though, it’s coming off as you think you’re looking at an adult when it comes to this 3-4 month old baby? Some males grow so large that I’ve known people who have had some be able to poke a 6’ man in the middle of the back with their nose without even trying. Someone I know has a male who is 34” at the shoulder. These are not tiny, fragile dogs. You’ve got a lot to learn about this breed judging by your impression and commentary in your video that has upset many of us in the breed but, I encourage you to learn more so that understand the essence of this breed, ability, and power so, that if you come across another or want to pass on information about it, it’s correct.

[@StonnieDennis]

Hellcat Coyote Do you have any videos of your Borzoi rag dolling coyotes? I would be glad to take a look. What exactly do you disagree with in the video? The information is solid, and my description of this puppy is spot on. I have some experience with Borzoi and I would say this puppy is closer to the norm than not. If you disagree, then please post a video of Borzoi puppies engaging in physically demanding activities.

[@AdoobibullTwins3n4]

Stonnie Dennis I do not. I have only a cell phone camera and it does not have the capabilities to zoom with great detail. I said myself, you’ve described a borzoi puppy well - this puppy is a typical borzoi puppy. The problem everyone has is it that you’ve given the impression that this was a full grown adult and the way it’s come off in some parts is that they are no longer the large hunting dogs they used to be and are “small, fragile, little dogs” as if this puppy is somehow an adult? That’s the impression you’re giving. Not once have you mentioned what an adult borzoi is capable of or what it will be like as an adult. Yes, you did mentione the breed’s purpose but, acted as if it were meaningless now because of what the breed as become (gestures to this puppy) and it’s come off as if this puppy is a full adult and the breed is no longer capable of what it’s bred to do. That’s the issue here.

[@StonnieDennis]

Hellcat Coyote That doesn’t even make sense. The title of the video is literally, “Fun Session with a Borzoi Puppy”. That seems pretty clear to me. I’m willing to look at any videos you have, but I’m willing to wager that the vast majority of Borzoi bloodlines in the States lack the physical resiliency to go on a traditional Russian wolf hunt. Would you disagree?

[@rivkaruthgolan]

Uncle Stoney, that was amazing! You conveyed how to gentle guide and train him so well. I learned a lot.

[@dortenielsen8253]

I used to show borzois for Denmark’ best breeder. They were big, fast and strong. I am 5.8 feet tall, and when the dog rose on his hind legs putting his front paws on my shoulders, he would look DOWN in my eyes. What you have there must be a very young puppy. Alternatively I wonder what the Americans have done to that majestic breed?

[@chloevessell5894]

This video almost seems mocking of the breed. They are beautiful dogs and this is only a puppy. They are smart and no more “fragile” than other dogs. This is the only thing you say in the whole video. No training tips or commentary as to what you are teaching. Just “he’s weak, I’ve got to help him out, be careful, he may break his legs if he walks too fast...”

[@KatErina-ii6ru]

This is so helpful. Thinking of adopting a Borzoi. Thank you!! 🎉

[@sherylsteckel4106]

As a sitehound owner for many many years I must disagree with the term fragile to describe the Borzoi... maybe just in the puppy stage while they are growing but adults are very very athletic and sturdy. Check out the high jumper video worlds record... so impressive!

[@StonnieDennis]

Well, I’m by no means a Borzoi expert. Do you have videos of Borzoi puppies free playing with other types of dogs? I would love to see them!

[@sherylsteckel4106]

Thanks for the reply.... I enjoy your training videos. I'm sure there are videos out there of Borzoi with other breeds playing but funny you should ask. Sighthounds prefer playing with other sighthounds... they have their own style of play and sometimes other breeds don't "get" the language... They are used to hunting as a team so the unspoken bond seems to be bred in....

[@sherylsteckel4106]

You are doing a great job with that Borzoi pup....

[@digs1223]

Big sighthound breeds go through a very awkward, gangly period where they're clumsy and prone to injury. A soft, show/pet bred sighthound IS always going to be fragile.

[@elitabaldridge6967]

Yeah, they aren't that fragile at all. My girl plays with an Airedale and a Small Munsterlander, and they play hard. She has spectacularly crashed herself at high speeds numerous times. They can be extremely dramatic, though. They are all bone and sinew and fast. They are great workers if properly motivated. (Mine likes cheese.)

[@RijuDawgSkool]

A lot of Borzoi people are offended by what you are saying about this dog because you obviously do not know much about this breed. I do like how gentle you are with this baby and I do think you look like a decent trainer. You just don't know the breed.

[@StonnieDennis]

What do I not know about the breed? What did I get wrong?

[@StonnieDennis]

Hello?

[@RijuDawgSkool]

​@@StonnieDennisOf course the puppy in the video is delicate/fragile. It's a BABY. What baby isn't? Now, there are breed differences. My BC could do things at a young age that I would never do with my zoi. It takes a Borzoi longer to grow up and yes, those legs are delicate as they are growing. What is so offensive to Borzoi people is the gross mischaracterization of the breed as fragile and unable to do the job they were originally bred to do. Adult Borzoi are not the same as baby puppies. You have obviously never been open field coursing or even lure coursing with one. Never held onto an adult Borzoi with a high prey drive when it has sighted game. These are large powerful dogs as adults and they are very fast when they decide to go after something. While it's true some lines have bred some of this instinct almost out, others actively breed for it. You obviously do not know that Borzoi were originally turned loose in groups of 3 to chase down and keep a wolf at bay until the hunters rode up and either dispatched of or captured it. They are slash and tear dogs and worry the wolf until it is dispatched by the hunter. Not sure what your comment about the narrow head is supposed to mean. Of course they have narrow heads. They are aerodynamic. Everything about them should scream speed. Just because the dog has a narrow back skull does not mean it is fragile or stupid. A Dobe doesn't have a particularly wide back skull either. And awkward? Well, first of all it's a BABY and 2nd, Borzoi are wider in the rear than in the front. That would make negotiating such obstacles a little more difficult for a Borzoi puppy who also takes longer to mature than your standard working or sporting breeds. That wider rear is also why I choose not to do agility competitions with my large males because running across a 12" wide plank that high off the ground is an accident waiting to happen IMO. These are not Malinois or Rotts or Labs or GS and they should not be trained like one or expected to do some of the things I think you generally do with your dogs (just guessing since I do not know you or what you do for sure but I would suspect some of the protection sports stuff). This is an extremely intelligent breed but I don't think you realize that. It's true they are independent and not bred to please people. They were not designed to do your bidding although they are dogs and can be trained. You (people in general) just have to be smarter than the dog and figure out how to motivate them. This is a very different breed. They grow up into beautiful, elegant dogs but they are powerful and fast (when they want to be). I do commend you however on being gentle with this baby and being careful of his growing legs. I do not however think you sound like you really know much of anything about my breed.

[@StonnieDennis]

@@RijuDawgSkool I deal with puppies of that same age, all the time. I dare say that I have as much experience with exercising puppies as much as anyone. As far as the Borzoi doing what they were bred to do, I have repeatedly asked for videos of Borzoi hunting coyotes or wolves in the states. So far, I have received zero videos. If you have some, please share them with me as I am genuinely interested. I have attended lure coursing and I have also let Borzoi run on my property chasing rabbits so I have at least some degree of actual experience. As far as my comments on the narrow head, I stand by my assertion that the small head is fragile and prone to malocclusion. Concerning the training, it really seems like you are admitting that Borzoi puppies are more fragile than other breeds and that fragility needs to be taken into account when designing a training regimen; which is exactly the point I was making in the video. Now in regards to what I do or do not know about "my breed". Please send me videos of young Borzoi puppies engaging in unrestricted play with other puppies, Borzoi puppies engaging in physically demanding activities, and Borzoi hunting wolves and/or coyotes. I will gladly watch each video. If you do not have any videos, I will arrange for you to take your Borzoi coyote hunting and I will send my personal videographer. Would you agree to that deal?

[@demondevongirl666]

I have to agree with@@RijuDawgSkool on this video. I loved some of your videos on GSPs and other gun dogs, you deffinitly know those breeds very well. I essentially grew up in a pack of hunting/showing weimaraners. My current pack is a GSP, WPG and 2 smooth coated Salukis. And I've been a professional dog groomer for nearly 9 years. My saluki are both very rough and tumble players with eachother and the rare other dog who wants to play as hard and fast as them. They enjoy their brush runs and play sessions with the 1-5yr old weimaraners we know. One of their best freinds is a much heavier Labrador and a large GSD. They may get body checked and shoved by the heavier dogs but they are like ninja springy weasle dogs and just keep going. The one boy's nickname as a pup was ninja giraffe he was so gangly but nimble and bendy. They have endurance in the wilderness that matches the HPR gun dogs. Saluki depending on which type they are are either mainly for hunting fast hare or various gazzel. Occasionally jackles and other prey. So less intense agresive prey than large Russian wolves. So they are a medium weighted dog vs a large weighted dog like a borzoi. Everything phisically that a saluki can do I don't see why an even bigger stronger borzoi couldn't do similarly. The joints and muscles on most sighthounds are very strong, they are purpose built arodinamic machines, they suffer from very very few joint or leg issues and most live into their teens being most are med-large dogs that work their body's like professional Olympic sprinters or endurance runners for nearly their whole life. Also you keep saying it's a very frail puppy what about that yorkiepoo and maltipoo in a few of your videos? There's no way any small light boned adult dog could be nearly as strong in any physical way to any adult sighthound other than an Italian grey hound. I've groomed plenty of dogs with legs skinnier than my finger, those are frail. I doubt I'll own a "frail" dog while the sight hounds are still around, their zoomies could easily break an actually frail dog by acsedent.

[@AmericanFoxhoundSami]

You dont have your facts right! Just last year we hunt wolves with Borzoi. Maybe not in your country but there are dogs that still do this.

[@AmericanFoxhoundSami]

PS: They dont kill the wolf. They stop them. Borzoi dont fight the wolf. They would die.

[@StonnieDennis]

I don’t have my facts wrong, so much as the facts that I have may not apply to all Borzoi. The Borzoi that I have seen have about as much chance of fighting a wolf as I have of dunking a basketball. But I am the first one to admit that I am no expert on Borzoi bloodlines nor do I know much about the global state of Borzoi mental and physical prowess.

[@ChrisH930S]

When they were used to hunt wolves it was done in 3s, usually 1 female 2 males, the first one, usually the largest male goes for the throat and doesn’t release. The other two join in and bring it down. By that time the hunter usually is there to dispatch the wolf. The females had a tendency to shred the genitalia.

[@StonnieDennis]

Eric Woodcock LOL...you need to submit that wall of text to a publisher.

[@erinobrien3506]

You haven't met very may quality Borzoi if you think they are fragile. The aren't whippets. Our breeder here in the US has taken hers hunting often, going over really rough terrain. My 14 week old male can jump over a 52" tall gate, his grandmother regularly cleared 6'. Please take this down .. it's a horrible representation of the breed.

[@ratterrierdogma]

Love that accent.😄 and the borzoi is amazing too!

[@marykirst483]

Sir, borzoi aren’t fragile. The males are 80 to over 100lbs at 30+”, and they still hunt wolves in Russia. A female borzoi I know killed a coyote while on a hike in the mountains. Another one I know courses elk. Coursing is the following of prey using sight while running. They are quite rugged dogs. Look up youtube videos of them hunting in the snow.

[@StonnieDennis]

[@SharkyA2]

Very disingenuous video. Of course a puppy is not going to be suited to hunting wolves. When it grows up into a 90 lb dog that can hit speeds of over 35 mph it becomes very different. It is like you made this video with a puppy just to mock the russian wolfhound name and really know very little about these dogs.

[@StonnieDennis]

SharkyA2 Not disingenuous at all. I help raise hundred of dogs per year. This is by far the most fragile dog I have seen I years. Zero chance of growing into an adult dog that is capable of hunting a wolf.

[@SharkyA2]

Zero chance? You are woefully ignorant of wolf coursing and the history of the breed to be making such claims. The Borzoi would take down and pin the wolf and then hold it so the hunter could capture or kill it. If you still can't wrap your head about it, there are even videos on KZbin showing Borzoi take down a wolf.

[@StonnieDennis]

SharkyA2 I suggest you go watch the other video on this puppy’s nite problems before you make anymore stupid assertions.

[@pamlongville5663]

Obviously you need to get educated. I’ve owned high drive, hard working Borzoi. That Were lightening fast, great retrievers and very competitive in obedience. They aren’t fragile. They were taught to shed hunt, herd and track. And what’s that whistling? This is a joke!

[@StonnieDennis]

I’m super willing to take a look at some rough and tumble Borzoi puppies. Where can I view a video of you guys hunting coyotes or wolves? Send me a link as soon as you get a chance!

[@RijuDawgSkool]

@@StonnieDennisBy now you know fully well they are fragile as PUPPIES and it's your gross mischaracterization of them as adults that has people up in arms. These grow up to be big strong dogs and they are INTELLIGENT which is why I have been able to title so many in obedience including advanced obedience as well as earning all breed High In Trials on several of them. No, they are not bred to please and are not easily motivated and they do not like a lot of repetition but they are very intelligent. You (people in general) just have to be smarter than the dog you are training.

@@StonnieDennis we are discussing a breed, right? This is 4 month puppy you are showing. Not older. I can’t show you Borzois in America because I am not from America. However that pup looks just like my pup. And mom of my pup is a working dog. Means she is hunting, wolf, rabbit, as far as I know they use borzoi to scare off the bears too. I am from Russia. Indeed by seeing the pup you won’t ever say that these 4 paws tail and nose can grow into something that can capture the wolf but it does.

[@notafan1275]

I don't know this specific puppy, it may well be abnormally slender/lightweight/fragile. I do know that a healthy, well-bred Borzoi is a rather robust hound with good bone strength. Here you can see an adult playing with a Doberman: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4u6pomknquMfrs - all in good fun. However, if an adult Borzoi becomes aggressive, it's an extremely impressive sight and you no longer doubt their ability to take down a wolf when hunting together (there's videos of Borzois hunting on KZbin, but sorry, I don't have a film of the two Borzois whose aggression left such an impression on me - that was pre-smartphones...)

I have over two hundred videos of dogs exercising, socializing, and having fun adventures. I can assure you that my approach is safe and effective. I can also assure you that this particular puppy required a level of oversight that far exceeded any of the other puppies that were here for training at the same time; that’s why I made the video.

[@scarletnight]

If Borzois WERE fragile I'd appreciate your explaining that to everyone, but they are far from fragile. They were bred with that build so that they could chase a wolf, and hold it's neck to the ground until the hunter can catch up and kill the wolf. Plus, they were bred to withstand the cold, so I can't imagine they are too fragile. Just some info for next time ;)

[@StonnieDennis]

Go ahead and add a link showing Borzoi, in the United States, killing wolves. I would be happy to share it.

I’m more than willing to look at all of your evidence, all you have to do is present it.

@@StonnieDennis I think that's a nice thought, but still, in all your comments you yourself have ptovided no links or evidence that the borzois bred today in america are fragile compared to the ones who were originally bred in russia. I would be glad to look at all your evidence, since you were the one who posted a video about it.

[@StonnieDennis]

You disagree that these puppies are fragile? Really?

Занимаешься ерундой. Ему лучше по полю побегать, чем на веревочке по досочкам ходить.
