BORZOI BULLETIN
Our Weekly News Round
Sadly Our Dogs has ceased publication and with it the popular Breed Notes feature. The Borzoi Club will continue with weekly news here on our website, as long as there is news we will publish it. Your news is welcome, send notes, stories about your borzoi activities, photos! Each month the notes will be transferred to a .pdf that can be downloaded in order to free up space on the website. Thank you always for your support! Lorraine Harvey

The Borzoi Club standalone Championship show was held on the 4th October at the KC Building, Stoneleigh. Judge Beatrix Maerki Casanova (Switzerland) had a great entry of 75 dogs / bitches making 127 total entries across regular and stakes classes. Thank you to everyone for your support, the sales table was very well popular, sponsorship by Agria was very much appreciated. It was a truly international flavour with exhibits not just from the UK but also from Australia and Sweden. Congratulations to Kay Sneath and Anthony Hall who took BIS BCC with Aus / Int / Ita Ch Marakhoff Vaarushka, all the way from Australia, who has also gained her British Ch title on this second trip of the year to the UK. RBIS DCC went to Lena Hamel's Swe / Nor / Fin / Int Ch Zaprof's The Mythmaker who made the trip from Sweden for the show. Full results are on the home page as a marked catalogue.
