Format:Hardcover
The Borzoi is a perfect book for the serious fancier, with extraordinary visuals that include photographs, drawings, and anatomy sketches. Borzoi history is obscured by time and the various types, but the well documented maps and early sighthounds provide a great foundation to understanding the present types.
The drawings and wonderful pedigrees give ample resources to tracing English and American bloodlines from the early 1900's to 1997. The gene pool is a broad one and well organized for easy use. The genetics section is also user-friendly and a difficult to find subject of great importance. It hits all the topics of the breed, how to pick a good dog, breeding, health, plus some hard to find subjects; with a fresh approach and a usable depth of information.

I found this book full of useful practical advice and knowledge. I am new to this beautiful breed and use this book on a daily basis. A serious book but sprinkled with little gems of humour. Loved it.

This is an excellent book for someone looking to get into the Borzoi showing commuinity. Not for someone who just wants a pet Borzoi or for someone who already knows a lot about Borzoi (unless you want to do a bit of english pedigree research). I'm just getting into showing Borzoi and I found the book very informitive.
This book goes into a fair ammount of detail on conformation, bloodlines, breeding, showing, and genetics. I did happen to find the photo-manipulated pictures a bit of an annoyance though.
"The Complete Borzoi" by Lorraine Groshans (a fairly difficult book to find) and any of the BCOA publications are much better than this book. But, it's worth reading.

Great basic book for the new Borzoi owner, or someone just curious about the breed. Only has basic information on the breed.

Now I know why in the 1950's our grandma told us Communists were bad.
I think this book is very good. I like the history of the dog's domestication, and I especially like how the Borzoi was developed in Russia. Read more
