Just a suggestion: The photo of the Hortaya Borzaya shown is downright skeletal, champion or not. If a more suitable photograph of a healthier looking dog with proper weight could be found it would help give a better (and more responsible) representation of this breed.
I hate to critique and not offer any solution... I'd help if I could, but my dogs are Borzoi and Tibetan Mastiff, I can offer no picture of these dogs. Cherchez la Femme 14:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
This dog looks exactly as dogs of this breed and breed type look. It has the proper weight for a dog of this breed. Should - for the convenience of western people so used to fat and meaty animals - asian dog breeds be fed to comply with western aesthetics? A Hortaya fed to the point of "meatiness" considered "healthy" by western people would actually be sick, with grave troubles to liver, heart and basic bone structure. In all asian sightdog breeds (and quite some african ones as well) visibility of vertebrae, ribs and hipbones is entirely normal. A look at e.g. Azawakh or Bakhmul will correct such assumptions: http://www.agraria.org/cani/azawakh.jpg or http://www.kennels.cz/image_show.php?image_id=33 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.188.224.25 (talk) 13:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
