I'm still getting to grips with using my Russian/English dictionary. Today I looked to see if there's a Russian word for "Greyhound", and sure enough, there is:

Greyhound n борзая f adj

I don't understand the f adj part. Is it saying that борзая is both a noun and a feminine adjective?

So if I was describing my dog, would I say;

Он борзая - or - Он борзая собака ... or are both correct?

Thanks,
Lindsay
