Borzoi Weight & Growth Chart
Complete weight guide with growth charts for male and female Borzois from puppy to adult.
Borzoi Weight Overview
Adult Borzois typically weigh between 60 and 105 pounds, with males generally being larger than females. Males average 60–105 lbs while females typically weigh 51–92 lbs.
Weight can vary based on genetics, diet, exercise level, and whether the dog has been spayed or neutered. The growth chart below shows the typical weight progression from puppy to adult.

When Does a Borzoi Stop Growing?
Borzois typically reach their full adult height by 15 to 24 months and their full adult weight shortly after. This breed may continue to fill out and add muscle mass for several months after reaching full height.
Factors that influence when a Borzoi stops growing include genetics, nutrition, and spay/neuter timing. Dogs that are spayed or neutered very early may grow slightly taller due to delayed growth plate closure.
Is My Borzoi Overweight?
To determine if your Borzoi is at a healthy weight:
- Rib test: You should be able to feel the ribs without pressing hard, with a thin layer of fat covering them
- Waist check: Viewed from above, there should be a visible waist behind the ribs
- Tuck-up: From the side, the abdomen should tuck up behind the rib cage
If your Borzoi is overweight, work with your veterinarian to develop a safe weight loss plan. Even a 10% reduction in body weight can significantly improve health outcomes.
Feeding Recommendation
Adult Borzois typically need 0.9 to 2.1 cups of high-quality dry food per day, divided into two meals. Puppies need more frequent feedings — three to four times daily until six months, then twice daily. Always provide fresh water and adjust portions based on activity level and body condition.
