Someone tell me my almost 6 month old will eventually grow a real coat

I keep seeing his siblings posts, and they’re all starting to get their long coats! My sweet boy still looks like a seal. How long did it take for your zoi to start looking less like a skinwalker and more like a wolf hunter? 😅

Borzoi as a first big dog?

I am honestly in love with the void horses. Both appearance and personality wise.

I won't be able to get a big dog anytime soon, and I only ever had a small one (papillon, that's if you don't count the time I spent with my uncle's sheepherd), but would a borzoi be a good start? I know there are similar breeds, like a silken windhound, but those are basically impossible to get in my country.

Question about walking

I recently saw people discussing in an afghan hound group how they always have to be alert because of the dogs sudden pulling at the leash because they see something interesting, causing them to fall and get shoulder pulled out of place and so on. Some mentioned they would never let anyone else walk their dog because of this sight hound behaviour. What is your experience walking the borzoi?

A trip to the ER vet that turned out okay (and kind of silly)

DISCLAIMER: HE'S FINE! He only LOOKS possessed.

Had a pretty big scare with Deebus Christ last night. He was lying on his bed with the cone of shame (yesterday was the last day of cone wearing before some stitches come out) rolled over to the other side, banged his stick legs around on the walls of the open X-pen surrounding his bed, and then... Something??? Happened???

He went cross-eyed and into a sort of sideways shrimp position like the left side of his body was on a fishhook being pulled upward and toward his butt. We lifted him on this bed, drove across our yard, parked the car right at the front steps, and then put the bed in the car to take him to the ER vet. Turns out he had a mild ear infection which can cause vestibular derpitude (my very serious name for this condition).

Vestibular disease is so weird! It usually improves within two to three days but this morning he was able to go potty by himself and walk around; last night he couldn't stand up at all because he was leaning at a 30 degree angle to the left and had to be carried with towels under him.

Here is a video of our cross-eyed boy this afternoon. What a prince.

He literally did not leave his bed until like 10:00 this morning when we got him to get up and go outside. Inshallah he is restored to full normal derpitude with no vertigo in time for the fourth's festivities.

Just the correct size to stretch his snoot.

"Is it true that Borzois were once used to hunt wolves?"

"Indeed they were. But that belongs to another age. These days, they devote themselves almost exclusively to the pursuit of sofas. Mine has yet to meet one he couldn't capture at the first attempt."

He Craves Employment

Archimedes loves working. He's such a happy boy ❤️ He actively asks to put on his gear and go places these days, couldn't be happier with him at my side.
