Shefaro Borzoi Clones

Over the years, Shefaro Borzoi has succeeded in producing dogs so similar that their likeness is astounding. Whenever a Shefaro Borzoi dog or bitch is outcrossed, Shefaro Borzoi is dominant and the Shefaro look, quality, and temperament shine through. A variety of colors and patterns might be drawn from the vast gene pool of either or both parents, but the structure is true. Of course, the choice of outside dog or bitch must conform to the correctness of the Borzoi according to the standard. A Shefaro Borzoi cannot necessarily be bred to an incorrect type or another dominant line and have Shefaro quality prevail. This is not done at Shefaro. Most of the Borzoi pictured below are the product of outcrosses with Shefaro being the common denominator, yet they all look Shefaro. The outside dogs and bitches, as well as their Shefaro mates, can be seen on this web page and their correct conformation can easily be seen. These choices of very correct outside dogs bred to Shefaro are the reason an identifiable Shefaro Borzoi type has developed over the years.

I asked an "expert" in Borzoi: amazing how I have a pup in 2003, who's a clone of a pup from 2002, who's a clone from a dog in 1991. How'd that happen?

She replied: It's called genetics, linebreeding and good genes.
