Westminster Dog Show Hounds and Borzoi

We watch the Westminster Dog Show every year so we can get our Borzoi fix. We had a beautiful Borzoi named Tatiana when we lived in the midwest and we miss her very much. It’s a rare sight to see one in the DC neighborhood though we have come across one or two in the last thirteen years. I’ve jumped out of my car to stop and see the lovely creatures and talk to the owners. We’ve also gone to a few dog shows just to see the hound group. So last night we watched the hound group on Westminster. For whatever reason it seems the Borzoi is never talked up like other breeds. Of course we consider that quite insulting! Unfortunately our favorite didn’t win the group but at least was selected in the final bunch. That is one thing I really miss about living in the Midwest. That dog was just plain wonderful.
