Dog with silky hair (6)

I believe the answer is:

borzoi

(Other definitions for borzoi that I've seen before include "Tall dog (from Russia?)" , "Dog like a huge greyhound" , "Russian hound" , "Large Russian dog with long silken hair" , "Russian dog bred for hunting wolves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
