I've grew up with lurchers and greyhounds and i know i will always have lurchers now, but ever since i can remember i absolutely loved borzoi's and admired evry picture i saw of them, i did lots of research on them, i even went to a dog show to meet them in the flesh and that was crufts. I wanted one so bad, i contacted a breeder that i found and she had a litter due in a months time she told me, so i waited and waited and the due date finally came, i was so excited, i had a name planned and everything. I phoned the breeder that day and the bitch had given birth, BUT heres the heartbreaking news, for me it was anyway.
There was only 1 female in the litter and the breeder said she was keeping it and the males were all booked, i couldn't beleive it, i nearly burst into tears on the phone, for the rest of the day i was in tears, i contacted the breed club in a desperate search for one, and to my luck i found a breeder with a 6 month old for sale because the breeder was keeping a different bitch and not mine, i was so excited and the next day i went to meet my baby, it was love at first sight! She was gorgeous and all the borzois there were, i just couldn't beleive i was surrounded by them.
Since that day we have gone through alot of ups and downs, more downs, but now she is the most loving dog i have and i wouldn't change her for the world. Most definately the borzoi is my heart breed.
