Texarkana KC 2016
Finally time to dip my toes back into the AKC pool with a brief trip to Texarkana with a couple of Borzoi, Rusti and Barbee. I didn’t make the shows in Denton – sent Victor instead – so it was kinda nice to get back out again. Even better since I was sharing a room with longtime-no-see friend Rebecca!! We met up at the show site a little after 8 in the evening, trying to find the ever-so-rare space for grooming. Rebecca had...
The Elementals Arrive – Solo ex. Harli
On November 10, 2014 we welcomed into the world our first Borzoi litter in over three years. We are quite excited because it had been planned for some time and it kept getting delayed for whatever reason, or the breeding missed. Finally the stars aligned, and to help them along, we scheduled an appointment with Dr. Kirk Esmond, a reproduction specialist at Josey Ranch Pet Hospital, to perform a TCI (transcervical insemination). Since we were... Party Time – Beast is a New Champion!
Our first show of the year in Texas is the Nolan River Kennel Club cluster held in the little town of Glen Rose, known for its dinosaur tracks. We have had some nice success here in the past, and it is a show site that we enjoy. There used to be lure coursing trials held in conjunction with the shows, which made for some long days – but those times are now gone. I fondly remember when we had Solo out as a special and he went from winning... Fort Bend Kennel Club – A New Borzoi Champion for Gryffyn’s Aeyrie!
January 19
At the Saturday show in Rosenberg, Ray took Winners Dog for 2 points and finished his AKC conformation championship. Boo then won her Bred-by Exhibitor class and went on to Winners Bitch / Best of Winners for 2 points. With this win, she entered what we so fondly call the “singles club” – needing a single point to finish. The judge was Elizabeth Muthard.
So happy that Victor went down while I was home in bed nursing... Lone Star Classic Summer Cluster
Boo winning Best Opp/Best of Winners for her first major under judge James G. Reynolds
Our Borzoi “diva” Boo (Gryffyn’s Aeyrie Boudicca) has not shown much at all-breed dog shows, the majority of her experience being attending two national specialty shows. She was entered for two days at the Lone Star Classic show cluster (three days of all-breed dogs shows, and one day of specialty shows, which at this time do not include...
