This book is fascinating in that it discusses the differences between the breed standards of several different countries that were in existence at the time the book was published. There is also a wealth of information for the breeders in the photos and histories of Borzoi kennels in the US. If you have Borzoi, you should really have this book.

This is an outstanding book for anyone interested in the Borzoi breed. Mrs. Groshan's insight into Borzoi reveals her true love of this remarkable breed. Interpretations of several standards help the novice as well as the veteran exhibitor visualize the perfect Borzoi. Histories of many kennels are included, along with many invaluable photographs.

This is probably the best book on Borzoi I have ever had the pleasure of reading in my 20 plus years as a breeder/show home.

Lorraine is probably the finest breeder and judge that I've ever had the pleasure of meeting -- she's a treasure. The book is excellent. I believe that is Lorraine's dog "Whistle" (the number one Borzoi in the US at that time) on the cover.

We considered buying a Borzoi years ago, but ended up buying some Whippets from her -- we were always very happy with them, and she always answered all of our questions wonderfully!

This is the book for the serious fancier. This is the one book to read to learn about Borzoi. It is not a pet book with just general information about dogs, it is a real, informed book written by an expert in the breed. It is a crime that this book is out of print as it should be available to all generations.

We now have an wonderful new child at home, his name is "Duque", he is a one year old Borzoi, who was given to us as a suprise by our youngest daugther, being the main reason for this gift, that our sadness was affecting our lifes after loosing a few months ago our Black Lab that was a fantastic dog.

Our life has changed completely, and the excellent book "The complete Borzoi" is helping us quite a lot in getting to know and love this incredibe breed,our thanks go to Mrs Loarraine Groshans for writing the best book ever about the wonderful Borzoi.
