Careful with him. Sighthounds are NOT known for obeying off lead. I had Borzoi's. One ran off and was never found and the other pulled the lead out of my hand and got hit by a car and never lived. Those thin, deep chests do not hold up to getting HBC. it was horrible.
These dogs were fully trained too and both were show dogs.
I cannot stress enough on obedience training for him, mostly stay and come and keep doing refresher courses. Hopefully his GSD part is the one that rules his brain and not the sighthound part that wants to chase things! FYI - bit of useless info: run your finger lightly on the inside curve of his canine teeth. Sighthounds have a serrated edge to them. Borzoi hunt wolves and large game like deer. Those serrated edges are used to "hamstring" their prey.
