dog O.E. docga, a late, rare word used of a powerful breed of canine.

Fr. dogue, Dan. dogge), but the origin remains one of the great mysteries of English etymology.
The Borzoi (/ËbÉrzÉÉª/ , literally fast), also called the Russian wolfhound (Russian: ÑÑÌÑÑÐºÐ°Ñ Ð¿ÑÐ¾Ð²Ð°Ñ Ð±Ð¾ÑÐ·Ð°Ñ), is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris). Descended from dogs brought to Russia from central Asian countries, it is similar in shape to a greyhound, and is also a member of the sighthound family.
