The documentary “Wolf Hunting in Russia”, produced in 1910 by Pathé Frères (France) under the original title “Chasse aux Loups en Russie”, shows the real wolf hunting taking place in Russia a century ago.
The dogs that were used by the Russian nobility for such hunting were mostly the Russian wolfhounds Borzoi and also some English dogs of the Greyhound type.
The bunting party was divided into two contingents, one of which pursued the wolves on horseback with a set of dogs, whilst the individual members of the second party remained on the outskirts of the wood with the attacking dogs held in leash. These fearless dogs would spring at a wolf and bear him to the ground almost before their masters would reach the spot with lassos in their hands. Another second the wolf would be captured; a wedge is then forced between its teeth, and then it would be brought back, still living, together with other captives.
After a hundred years, our perception of this film has changed. “Back in the day, wolves were hated and routinely killed...now they are protected and encouraged to live in peace” (MartinHafer, the IMDB reviewer www.imdb.com/t....
Nevertheless, the film can help the future owners of Borzoi to learn the history and to understand the important characteristics of this wonderful dog breed.
Borzoi, the Russian wolfhound, is often considered as a glamour pet, accompanying celebrities, but in fact, it is a large, strong, and courageous hunting dog with a mighty bite force, that was initially bred to fight wolves.

Yep we forget what they were bred to do and when breed is an old breed they were obviously very good at their job. Look at Irish wolf hound and all the wolves left in Ireland
They were used in packs to bully lone wolves. That's why you get corona
Yeah, the Irish Wolfhounds did their job too well. When the wolves were gone no one needed wolfhounds any more and the expense of feeding them outweighed the benefits of having them around.The breed was pretty much extinct until Captain George Augustus Graham set about recreating them
@@suggiethames9870 spot on
@@stopYmpersonatYngmYacCount bully them hell. Chase them down and kill them. Irish wolves were of a size of North American timber wolves and regularly hunted livestock and people this is why they started building their round walled areas around homes and towns and brought in they livestock at night and people were never out at night and if you didn’t have a wall around your farm or town you’d be loosing livestock and people regularly these were huge dangerous apex predators afraid of nothing they called it wolf island and invaders were turned away before they even came across the people because the wolves would go right into their camp and tents and take and eat one or two of them a night and any animals they had These wolves were hard core and huge so there was no bullying there was kill or be killed and wolfhounds did the job extremely well
@@jillthompson1248 wrong
A magnificent breed. A lot of really big fierce powerful dogs are ugly as sin, but Borozois are incredible beautiful and majestic
The child mauling WILL stop
Never *
These 1910 Borzi look a little stockier than today’s Borzi.
I guess that's the difference between a trained animal and a relatively sedentary animal.
Mine is 115#, lean and strong, fast and generally lazy😂 sweet boy.
im a hunter ... i would not belive my girl when she told me that goofy looking dog is an actual hunter .... jeh i sayd : maybe to seartch and run away ... nooo ... she proved me wrong its an exelent huntingdog i UTTERLY underestimated ! уважать ! respect .... a dog made to hunt the most primal dog
Borzoi can be found with "red eyes". It is believed that “red eyes” is evidence that the greyhound had a wolf in its pedigree, so they have a wild anger in their blood. Many borzoi, which are used for hunting, remain quite ferocious and wayward, especially if they hunt a wolf (but this is already a rarity even in Russia). So yes, they are good hunters if they do it since puppy ages
@@user-bw8ys7jn3y as a hunter i know about raising dogs , we had an unusual huntindog aswell as the doberman is actualy more of a protector dog , but he was my best friend , he always lissend, he had a mind of his own , he understood your evry last word ... i would give evrything to have him with me again for just a day .... that dog watched me so manny times and he even saved me once from another dog ... Ill never forget u Ninjo
@@BeelzeKid I understand you. I had a saluki, a girl Indira. She was very playful in the house, but frisky and sharp-sighted on the hunt, always the first to notice a hare in the field. But she died unexpectedly when I was in the hospital and found out about my cancer. I am sure that Indira took part of my illness on herself, that's why she left so unexpectedly…I believe that now every gone dog is in a better world, and Ninjo was happy to live his best life with you
@@user-bw8ys7jn3y thx ai ... but the terrible los never fades ... i hope you faught that illness like a champ and i hope u thrive !
@@BeelzeKid Thank you very much, I
wish you and your family all the best and good luck on the hunts
The Russians weren’t hunting the wolves for sport as much as the wolves had become a very real threat to the well being of rural livelihood.
Each Borzi grabs a piece of the wolf and pulls it in a different direction. I think the Borzi move through the snow better than the wolf with their long legs.
Kinda feel bad for that wolf lmao.
THE army against it hahaha.
But it is cool.
I love at 0:45 when you see a group of puppies along to learn how to hunt ❤
Didn't I do it for you
Did they get the snakes out of Ireland too?
Sure. Together with Saint Patrick :)
Move aside dogs I'll kill this wolf with my bare hands.
No let Borzoi do it for you
Woof!
Short haired borzoi ?
Borzois and also some English dogs of the Greyhound type.
I definitely saw some beagles too, but it makes sense to have tracking dogs in any hunt and you saw they couldn’t really catch it until the three or four borzoi were released
Sadly the irish wolfhound is gone and today we don't have dogs to chase ,catch and kill wolves and work in a team anymore.of course we have wolf killers but not hunters
Ppl need to lay off wolves. Alot of them are close to being threatened with exctintion. They provide a very important balance to the echo system
Absolutely! It was more than 110 years ago and just shows what the Russian Borzoi was bred for.
Tell me you don't own livestock near wolves without telling me you don't own livestock near wolves.
Ты серьезно? Приезжай в Сибирь и тогда поговорим об этом 😂😂😂
this was the 1900s dawg
@@christianwestling2019 have a proper fence cheapskate
People don't know that by1916 or so these beautiful dogs were down to less than 100 in the world!! So stop crying about the wolves 😢!
what? what does that have to do with the wolves
You can blame the communists for that
@@jdools4744 70% of the animal species have died due to capitalism, 6th extinction event.
@@Razzy_D9111Bro this isn’t about which political ideology killed off the most animals species. This is just fact, as the Bolsheviks almost exterminated this dog breed because they were believed to be associated with the rich and aristocrats. Also you mentioning that capitalism is the cause for 70% of animals species extinction is stupid; like yeah, no shit it exists longer. I think that if the communist ideology existed for as long as capitalism, it also would cause the extinction of many species. Also just blaming it on a political ideology is stupid, as it is humanity itself that causes these extinctions.
@@Razzy_D9111Communists didn't give a shit about the environment, look at the Aral Sea
🙏
Who's here from 9gag
I've always been here
Even from that place
Ew. iFunny supremacy
Horrible. No sense in hunting unless it's to eat the meat. Never hunt for sport that's disgusting
Wolves is real danger in Russian countryside for nowdays. And their population near settlements is used to be under control
Wolves were a real threat to Russian countryside residents, then you also gotta remember that wolves can carry rabies and the wolf hunting becomes a way to keep a village safe, not a sport
