Update
December 2, 2010
Nearly at the end of this year,
there is a lot to report about - good and bad news!
On July 23, 2010 we had to put
to sleep our Liska (Odaliska du Grand Fresnoy) because of a massive lung
tumour. She was our special grand old lady and we still miss her a lot.
She had reached the high age of nearly 12 years and was respected by all
members of the pack until the day of her death. She lives on in her children
and grandchildren and has passed many of her wonderful qualities to them.
Thank you, Liska, for all you gave us!
Now to the good news: This year
three of our dogs completed their titles of a Swiss Champion:
Moonlight, Mazeppa and Seraph! Furthermore,
Rhapsody in Silver completed her title of a Swiss
and German Junior Champion! We are very proud of these
accomplishments which confirm us that we are on the right way.
At the show in Kleindöttingen,
Moonlight won her last needed CAC. At the same show, Rhapsody in Silver
won her last J-CAC for her title. Seraph won CAC, BOB
and later BIS - his first BIS so far!

Update
July 8, 2010
Before we forget to report it:
On April 17, 2010 Mazeppa won his fourth CAC at the show
in Sachsenheim (D) and thus completed his German Champion DWZRV!
We are very happy about it. At the same show, Rhapsody in Silver
won her second JCAC with JBOB in Germany.
At the CACIB show in St. Gallen
on May 8/9, 2010 Seraph wins the open class with CAC
on both days, on Saturday with CACIB, on Sunday with Res-CACIB! Mazeppa
receives on both days the Res-CAC in champion class. On Saturday, we also
showed our breeder's group with Mazeppa, Seraph, Moonlight and Silver
in a competition of three groups of all breeds and we took the biggest
cup home: 1st place! This is the fourth time in a row that our breeder's
group wins a first price!
Since mid May, Mazeppa's and
Moonlight's beautiful sister, Moondance Milovna Sokolow,
is back with us and feels like a happy Borzoi! On June 12, she came with
us to the sighthound show in Rifferswil where she won Best of
Breed with CAC of a total of 17 Borzois! Her nephew Seraph was
best male with CAC! This was indeed a very successful
show day which we thoroughly enjoyed.

More show news: At the international
show in Munich on March 7, 2010, Moonlight won excellent

Looking
for a new home!
We are looking for a new home
for our nearly one year old female Rose of Heaven (callname
Heaven). Heaven is white with goldsable markings, middle sized, with a
very beautiful anatomy. She is suitable as family and companion dog and
has show quality, and is very fast. She looks very similar to her sire
Ch. Phaedra Camus. Who would like to offer her a permanent and loving
home? Please contact us for more information.

Already on December 19, 2009
our sweet Razluka has moved to his new home near Winterthur.
In the meantime he has settled in very well and has captured his new owner
Helen with his charm;-) We wish him and his new owner all the best for
the future!
At the CACIB-showin Friedrichshafen
on November 14/15, 2009, Mazeppa has fulfilled all the
requirements for the title of a German Champion VDH! In Friedrichshafen
we could also take a few nice group photos of our grey/white ones which
we could use as christmas card in front of a lovely wood!

Looking
for a new home!
We are now starting to look
for a new home for our sweet male Royal Razluka Sokolow
(8 months old)! After suffering from an injury in his right pasture which
he had got at 8 weeks old, it is now completely healed and Razluka walks
normal on all four legs. Therefore, it is time for him to have his own
family, preferably with Borzoi- or sighthound company. Razluka is white
with silver-cream markings, he is a medium sized, strong male with a very
beautiful head and black eyes.

Razluka can do more
than sleeping on the sofa ... He has passed the puppy course and the course
for young dogs with good success. Who would like to offer him a wonderful
Borzoi life?

than proud! Here is the official winning photo:

Last weekend, we passed a wonderful
afternoon and evening at the home of Suzanne and Ernst, the owners of
our sweet Rose of May Sokolow (called Rasnaja). As they own a very large
fenced in property, the puppies had lots of fun all together. Nearly the
whole Sokolow R-litter was present. There were 11 Borzois, plus Whippet
Jendayi und Lucy. Here comes one of the lovely photos taken at this occasion:
