Another one who would love to meet your Borzois. Love the breed! They really are sweet dogs. Your biggest worry would be fire ants. Snakes would run away unless absolutely trapped. Coyotes really don't care to go after things bigger than they are and, let's face it, Borzois are not small dogs. Raptors don't go and just randomly attack something large -- it would have to be seen as a threat to their nest or in the way of some real prey. They should do fine with a doggy door so long as they get chances to run and get some real exercise (unless you have a corner lot with a very large yard, they will need lots of exercise here).
