Our Borzoi Elsewhere

For me, placing pups is one of the hardest aspects of being a breeder. Choosing who will be the lifelong family and caretakers of the dogs born here is an undertaking not taken lightly. It is a task second only to the responsibility of preserving and following the breed standards of the Borzoi and Silken Windhound breeds that we love. Dogs born here are a commitment for their lifetime - those who have dogs from us become members of our "extended family."

Of course - placing pups and older dogs can bring the greatest of rewards as well! We greatly enjoy hearing stories about the dogs living all over the U.S. and even abroad in countries such as Belgium, Germany and Sweden. Also cherished are the pictures sent to us of the dogs in their new homes, interacting with other family members and sometimes hitting the show ring or field.

Below are pics of some of the Borzoi that we have placed with other families. Some have links to either their owners' personal websites, or to another page on this website featuring more pictures.

Gryffyn's Aeyrie Party On
"Muzhik"

Litter: Party pups

Muzhik is a specialty winner. We would have liked to provide pictures of that win as well as candids, but his owner has neglected to send us any. She later broke our verbal contract by not sending us a puppy we had a right to. Never mind that we gave her this sweet boy as well as another. Breeders beware - use written contracts - or people that you thought were good friends will betray you in the end.

PestGryffyn Peskipiksi Pesternomi

Litter: HP Spells

Pest lives with M.Lucia in Alvin TX. Unfortunately she was not taken out and socialized after her placement, so can be quite shy. Later she escaped her yard and was hit by a motorcycle, badly fracturing her front leg and causing devastating damage to her bite as well. So she never saw the show ring. Despite being GIVEN to her owner with a "puppy back agreement," her owner broke the contract and denied us a puppy after listening to malicious gossip from someone who had NEVER even been to our home. Because of these actions, we are sticklers for written contracts, even between what we consider good friends - as she obviously was not.

Lance is a hunky boy, and reminded me quite a bit of his half-brother Freddi. A sweet grinner, he was adopted by the Selmans. A couple months after his arrival there, his niece Hess (now Tasha) came to live there as well. Lance was ever watchful of little Tasha, and I was thrilled to find this wonderful home where he was cherished every day! Lance passed away in April 2011 at the age of 13.
