Borzoi (W3)

Cameron, Mary (Mrs. Alexis Miller), Malerin, geb. in Edinburgh. Ausgebildet an der dortigen Kunstschule und weitergebildet in Paris unter Lucien Sergent, Gust. Courtois u. J. A. Rixens, malte sie zunächst Soldatenbilder, wandte sich dann der Behandlung von Jagd- und Rennsportmotiven zu und widmete sich schließlich seit 1900, wo sie zum ersten Male Spanien bereiste, hauptsächlich der Schilderung des spanischen Stierkämpfer- u. Volkslebens sowie gelegentlich auch der span. Landschaftsnatur, wobei sie sich von Ign. Zuloaga stark beeinflussen ließ. In der Londoner R. Academy-Ausstellung wie im älteren Pariser Salon 1900 mit Rennplatzszenen und in demselben Pariser Salon 1902 mit einer Stierkampf-Arena, 1904 mit dem lebensgroßen und lebensvollen Bildnis „Mme Blair et ses borzois“ (Ment. hon.), 1905 mit der vielfigurigen Riesenleinwand „Une danse de gitane á Séville“, 1907 mit einer spanischen Spielerszene vertreten, beschickte sie seither auch die Kunstausst. zu Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Madrid etc. sowie verschiedene Londoner und Edinburgher Privatausstellungen mit ihren robust realistischen und darum wenig weiblich anmutenden umfangreichen Malwerken, in denen sie bei aller Abhängigkeit von Pariser Vorbildern und namentlich von der brutalen Kunst Zuloagas immerhin ein stark künstlerisches Empfinden u. Können bekundet.

The "borzoi", also called the "Russian wolfhound", is a breed of domestic dogs. It is 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. The system by which Russians over the ages named their sighthounds was a series of descriptive terms, not actual names. "Borzói" is the masculine singular form of an archaic Russian adjective that means "fast". "Borzáya sobáka" is the basic term used by Russians, though "sobáka" is usually dropped. The name "Psovaya" derived from the word "Psovina", which means "wavy", "silky coat", just as "Hortaya" means shorthaired. In Russia today the breed we know as the "borzoi" is officially known as "Russkaya Psovaya Borzaya". Other Russian sighthound breeds are "Stepnaya Borzaya", called "Stepnoi"; and "Krimskaya Borzaya", called "Krimskoi". The plural "borzois" may be found in dictionaries; however, the Borzoi Club of America maintains that "borzoi" is the preferred form for both singular and plural forms.

They are really fast.

Like their Greyhound ancestors, this is a fast dog. In fact, it’s the seventh fastest dog in the world and can run at speeds topping 40 miles per hour, which means it lives up to its name.

"Borzoi" actually means "swift" in Russian, although when they first came to America, the breed was known as the "Russian Wolfhound". It didn’t change to "Borzoi" until 1936.
