Elegance is a breed.
A Borzoi doesn't learn to have bearing — it's born with it. At Maison Borzoï, our craft is preserving that pure line, and placing it with families who know how to carry it.
One piece, never a series.
We never produce more than two litters a year. That isn't a production constraint — it's the only way to know every puppy individually, to follow their growth day by day, and to know, at placement time, which family will carry that bearing with the seriousness it deserves.
Our breeding dogs live with us, in the house. They aren't production tools — they're our dogs, who will have two or three litters in their lifetime and then retire right here, in the walled garden.

Three commitments, for every puppy.
They apply to every litter we raise — no exceptions, no extra charge.
Cardiac and orthopedic screening
An echocardiogram, hip screening and an ophthalmological exam before any breeding. You receive the actual results, never a summary.
Socialized in a family home
Daily handling from birth, gradual exposure to surfaces, city sounds and children. A steady temperament is never left to chance.
A lifetime take-back, no conditions
We stay reachable long after your puppy leaves. And if you can no longer keep your dog, they come back here — at any age.
The Borzoi, and nothing else.
We don't diversify. The Borzoi — a Russian sighthound once bred by the nobility to course wolves by sight — is a demanding breed to do justice to: a lean silhouette, an independent temperament, a genuine need for secured space. Knowing it thoroughly beats following eight breeds at once.
It's a dignified dog, reserved with strangers, deeply attached to its own people — not a Labrador that jumps on everyone. We say so plainly before any reservation: this isn't the breed for someone looking for an off-leash jogging companion.
From your first question to the ride home.
You write to us
Tell us about your household, your experience with purebred dogs, and what draws you to the Borzoi. We reply within one to two days — sometimes to tell you honestly that this breed wouldn't suit you.
We meet
Visits by appointment, at the house. You meet the parents and see the space where the puppies grow up. A breeder who won't let you visit is telling you something.
Reservation and matching
A $750 deposit confirms your place on the litter. Matching happens around week six, based on observed temperament — never on a colour picked from a photo.
Going home at eight weeks
Your puppy leaves vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and examined by our veterinarian, with a health record and a blanket carrying the litter's scent.
A litter is expected this fall.
Our puppies are almost always spoken for before they're born. If a Borzoi interests you for this year, now is the time to write — even without certainty.
