Name of breed

[Natalya]

Hi, everybody.

Did you
know that the Russian Wolfhound's name was changed to Borzoi because people
thought that it was part wolf?!?? Names are very powerful.

I want to say, this information is false. Russkaya psovaya borzaya is
a Russian national breed, the symbol and honor of Russian dog breeding.
This breed has never had the name "Russian Wolfhound". According to
documents, in 1519 Dutch king sent French king dogs - "Borzoi of
Russian breed".

I don't know, what information Americans have about Borzoi. But I'm
Russian and I know the history and the name of my national breed. As well,
as Czech people know the name of their national breed, which doesn't
consist the word "wolf". The problem is only in translation into
different languages.
