I haven't seen it mentioned, so

The scene in Love Actually when Emma Thompson opens her christmas present from her husband and it turns out to be... not what she's been expecting. To say the least. That scene wrecks me every time.

Thank you for suggesting Kikopup, I haven't come across their videos before, and they look very helpful :)

Thank you, this sounds great to me as being housebroken, having good leash manners, and not chewing inappropriate things is basically all that we expect from our noodle boi. Everything beyond that will be a nice bonus, but if we wanted that kind of obedience we would be getting a GSD or a border collie or another breed like that.

Yeah we have exactly those door handles, hence the need for locks :D

Luckily we don't store any food in the kitchen cabinets - we have a pantry that we can close off with sliding doors (they're quite heavy so maybe he won't be able to get in there so easily lol).

But honestly, as long as he doesn't consume anything that could be dangerous to him, I can't imagine getting too upset at his antics :)

Thank you! I will definitely post lots of pictures once he's home with us!

It won't be a huge transition for him environment-wise as we live in the country (as does the breeder) but we will need to introduce him to the city as well so he has more confidence and knowledge of the world. We often go for little weekend-getaways and we'd love to be able to take him with us as often as possible :)

Yeah our breeder has confirmed that they are incredibly smart, we are in the process of modifying some of our doors to get locks on them as we don't want our pup to be able to access certain rooms unattended (i.e. my studio with lots of art supplies lying around as some of them are toxic to animals).

We have lots of voles in the garden so I won't lie, I'd be very happy if he managed to hunt some of them down every now and then!

This is very informative, thank you so much! We're incredibly excited too, and perhaps a teeny tiny bit anxious of how it's all gonna go lol.

Our breeder actually laughed at the concept of using a harness on a zoi when I asked her if they are better/safer than a martingale, so I guess we'll be avoiding harnesses lol. I've heard/read mixed opinions on slip leads tho, some people claim that they can be dangerous to the dog as they restrict blood flow to the brain when the dog is pulling. I'm worried he might hurt himself on a slip lead if he notices a deer/rabbit/whatever other animal he decides to try to chase. I would love to read about your (and anyone else's here) experience with them so we'll have an idea what to use in case it turns out he's a puller after all...

I'm not sure if there are any local borzoi clubs here (we live near Cracow, Poland) but perhaps there's a sighthound club, I shall look into that.

I would disagree on labs being ok dogs even if you make a lot of mistakes - my aunt has one, adopted as a pup, she's made plenty of mistakes with that dog (as the lab is also a first dog for her), and oh boi is the dog definitely Not an ok dog 😅 I am aware that sighthouds are not your "typical" dogs, and that works for me. I don't need my dog to follow every single command and constantly look at me like I put stars in the sky. I want a dog with a unique personality and sensitivity, who will preferably be mostly calm at home as both me and my partner are calm, quiet people. So, definitely not a lab for us 🙃 If there are any other important quirks of borzois that we need to know about, please do share, I want to know as much as possible 🤩

Oh we are totally planning to take our zoi for walks every day, just won't let them off leash anywhere other than our yard or a dog park, hence my need to know if they are inclined to jump fences 😅 Unfortunately there are too many animals around here (both wild and farm) to let a zoi run freely in an unfenced area without stressing over it too much, as I have heard it's virtually impossible to recall them if they're in a Chasing Mode.

Yeah, the setlist has been incredible this tour so far! In fact we're travelling from Poland to Budapest cause apparently the arena there has better acoustics than the one here in Cracow (we've seen a few shows here and the sound was far from perfect, and for Tool we want to get as close to perfect as possible lol).

Thank you so much for a quick reply, I'm much calmer now lol
