Large Russian wolfhound (6)

I believe the answer is:

borzoi

(Other definitions for borzoi that I've seen before include "Russian dog bred for hunting wolves" , "Dog like a huge greyhound" , "Russian wolfhound" , "Large Russian dog with long silken hair" , "Zoo rib (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
