Borzoi, as a rule, kill swiftly. You may never witness a kill, as only about one rabbit in ten is ever caught. For open field enthusiasts, there is probably not a more stirring sight than a Borzoi in full chase, in the open field, with coat flying, doing what the breed was bred to do. The manner in which the pursuing hound propels himself throughout the duration of the course. This is to include, but not limited to, the double suspension gallop, carriage, stride and agility in turns and terrain other than flat level ground.
Speed is also to include the dog's acceleration capability.
The differences between strategies and methods utilized by different breeds and by different hounds of the same breed. This area also will include the degrees of intelligence and cunning displayed by various members of the different breeds while engaged in a chase. All references to game shall be intended to indicate the jackrabbit. To utilize an inexperienced or poorly conditioned dog as an example would do a grave injustice to that particular breed. This is not to be confused with endurance as that is purely physical.
