“Beauty is as beauty Does”
 
 
The Russian word borzoi means "swift"; oxota means "hunt". After a few years of running borzoi, we've come to appreciate their superior ability to execute their original function:  coursing live game over rough terrain in cold weather.
 
We are relatively new to borzoi, but have been admirers of the breed since the late '70's. We quickly realized that a good-looking borzoi isn't necessarily a good borzoi, so our emphasis and passion are on functional borzoi - quite simply, on proven performance.
 
We regularly take our hounds off-property for training and competition, including open field coursing (OFC) for its singular ability to test for function. No other endeavor demands such fitness, speed, and stamina, nor so clearly calls on a hound's body and soul.
