Grooming guide: Borzoi
Silky coat with feathering. Brush 2-3 times weekly.
In practice that means a weekly grooming cadence for most Borzoi owners - the long coat sheds or mats fast enough that spacing sessions further apart lets tangles or loose fur build up between visits.

Borzoi heavy-breed care economics
Borzoi clears the heavy-breed threshold used for this portal's rich readiness pairs (105 lb high end) - enough mass that annual budget math is meaningful, not decorative. The large cohort spans Saluki (40-65 lb) to Rottweiler (80-135 lb). Adult weight span is 45 lb; wider spans usually mean males and females quote differently at the same groomer.
Closest weight peer in this cohort: German Shepherd (50-90 lb, double coat). Compare both pages before locking a grooming routine, same size band can still diverge on coat complexity and cadence.
