- If you cross that with a pug, do you get a normal dog?

  Maybe something that looks like a shaggy aardvark with a curly tail.

- When people think your pretty ant eater is a dog...

  It honestly looks like it came from the muppets, so I don't blame them

- My sister once said they look like the ghost of another dog that died

  "Seek the old blood."
  
  "Let us pray, let us wish... to partake in communion. Let us partake in communion... and feast upon the old blood. Our thirst for blood satiates us, soothes our fears."
  
  "Seek the old blood."
  
  "But beware the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. The foul beasts will dangle nectar and lure the meek into the depths."

Apparently, a borzoi is a big dog: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borzoi

- Those snouts change so much too.

  It's because they are all compulsive liars.

Giving my kid a borzoi puppy, then every day pinching his nose and tail and tugging on them a little bit, to convince my kid I'm stretching the dog out like taffy.

I just read War and Peace for the first time last year. There's a section in the book involving hunting with borzois, and the narrator mentions that one of the characters paid a family of serfs for his best dog. He didn't pay money to a serf family - the cost of the dog was a serf family. Imagine that sort of bullshit if you're a serf.

47
- Sounds right. There's that British family that was caught underpaying their staff do much, they spent more on their dog
  
  17
- Fuck's sake those serfs can be trained to hunt too, what a waste
  
  11
- if i'm going to be sold for anything, a dog is probably the only option that wouldn't make me feel miserable
  
  so long as they take care of the good boy

  Well, it was a good girl in the book, but don't worry - she wasn't treated like a serf.

  Are you okay?

Borzoi's are the sweetest dogs too. Like most sighthounds, they are very gentle/calm/lazy

25
- I have never met a more gentle dog than an American Doberman Pinscher. They look big and intimidating, and I guess they can be if you're their enemy, but they're so very sweet and gentle with their family. They have such soft mouths and they're so considerate and polite with their people.

TBH that puppy doesn't look that normal. Basically every breed's puppy looks something like this:

Round head, short snout. Chihuahuas, Pitbulls, Labradors, all the same shape. Obviously size and fur patterns will vary, but if I saw an infant puppy with such a long snout as OP's image I would be very much aware that it would have an enormously long face as it developed.

I once matched with a girl on a dating app who told me that borzois' faces look like David Duchovny's and I can't unsee it

14
- Omigod.
