Russian wolfhound (6)

I believe the answer is:

borzoi

'russian wolfhound' is the definition.
(borzoi is a breed of dog)

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Penny Press and the Sydney Morning Herald.
