Are there significant temperament differences though between the countries?
I'm not getting a Borzoi soon but it might be something I'm interested in. However, all my interest simply lies in having a non-DA, non-HA, healthy pet. I'm not looking to lure or hunt with the dog. So in terms of the countries, are there any certain personality traits that I should be aware of that may vary between countries and dominant/heavily used lines in those countries?
Also, how prominent is bloat. Is it something that most people can reasonably manage or needs lots of special attention and thought? I'm basically not familiar with bloat, never having had a breed with that problem.
