Subject: Re: Chloe update

Things are going great! Orion (boy child)  and Cleo (Shefaro Borzoi girl)  are getting to be quite good friends. Except we have to sometimes watch him with her. He bit her foot the other day. Lately he also has been trying to eat food out of her dish. The other day he was playing in her water dish. I videotaped that-it was funny! But, what we love about her, is that she doesn't seem to mind when he is all over her. Also, he doesn't care if she gets excited and knocks him over. I have some new pictures that are on our camera. Cleo also starts puppy class in two weeks. She also goes to the vet on Wednesday for shots. But other than that-things are pretty much the same. How are things going with you? Any shows? Have you placed the puppies? Let us know how everything is! I hope you had a great holiday!

Take care!

Christine:)

Subject: Maggie & Thumbelina

We're Home!!!
We arrived home about 10:30 p.m. last night. The girls were wonderful travelers.
Thumbelina is quite a character, she played like a little puppy with everything that she could find in the van, and slept with her head on Maggie when she napped. I guess that they are already good friends. They aren't sure yet about the snow, and walk very timidly in it. Maggie has already picked a corner in the kitchen and has claimed it as hers. You were right --she is a tail wagger !! They have also seen the cats and totally ignored them, so far things are going great. This is a big adjustment for them and I hope they will be happy here. Thank you for such beautiful girls!! We will get some pictures taken and send them to you, also the contract. Thanks so much!! We will update you soon--Mags and Sax,

We really loved Texas, and hope to return soon.

Diva is so cute and smart. She is my shadow crossing the creek and running in the grass flat out. She is so fast. She lays on my feet when I wash dishes and collects shoes and other interesting items for her beds. She doesn't chew them....so far. She did steal a placemat from off the table at Moms for her collection. It had plates Mom bought in Austria on it. They didn't do well when they hit the tile. Mom wasn't mad-she loves her too.  I have pictures on my camera but Jim has to do something with the port- The computer doesn't think it's connected. Will send pictures soon.This is a great dog! We all love her.

Subject: Update from Miss Cleo

Dear Grandma Shefaro,

I am having a very good time at my new home. My mom and dad are very proud of me because I am now scratching at the door when I want to go outside and go potty. They are also learning to listen to me, because I tell them when I need to go. I really enjoy playing with balls, socks and pretty much everything. I love to go outside and play in the leaves. I am just an energetic little girl who is having a great time exploring. I also shocked my mom when I climbed all the way up the stairs. I don't like being left in my crate, or in the kitchen when the baby gate is up. It's sort of ok when mom is in there with me. But I don't like it when she leaves for a second. She even had to blow dry her hair in the kitchen with me. My favorite spot in the house is the living room, because I get to play with all of the fun toys and watch the really big tv. I love my new brother, but I'm not so sure what he thinks of me. He likes to watch me, but doesn't always like to play. I also had my first visit with my vet. He is very nice, and said I was in perfect health and had beautiful conformation. However, I had to get a shot, and take a heartworm pill. But I handled it like a trooper. Mom says that she is going to get some pictures developed tomorrow. Do you believe that she already took a whole roll of me? I am having a great time, and my new mom and dad absolutely love me! I am also learning how to walk on a leash, but am not so sure about that. But once I learn that, mom and dad are going to take me for walks around the neighborhood.

Write soon, and give everyone a hug and a kiss from me!

Love,

Miss Cleo aka Queen of the Mason's

Hello! ...Panda is doing extremely well as is just a perfect dog for me. We have a great time together, and he seems content coming to work even though I have long hours.   He is exceptionally pretty, and so sweet it is amazing.

Hello!
...I had a professional photographer take pictures of Panda when I was at a horse show with him last weekend, and will be sending you a couple of the shots. He is quite an ambassador for his breed-- dressage horse people are very attracted to classy gorgeous animals, and several wanted one after meeting him, so I did my best to explain that he is probably not very typical, and explained about your breeding program. You should be very proud of him, I most certainly am. He knows several words (come, sit, etc) and is the most obedient loving dog I could ever hope to have. My mother is dying right now, and I have found his big furry presence quite a comfort. Thank you again for letting me have him in my life. Meredith

Your new kids look so cute. Wish I was back in Texas-Id help you with those babies!!
Your girls up here are doing well. Today they went outside on their own --up until now we had to push them out the door. Its a little warmer today--10 above zero. Thumbelina continues to act like a puppy-she has a huge collection of toys and also has a weird attraction for towels. You cannot find a towel on any racks in this house, they are all in her bed! As soon as you put one out see takes it. Maggie is more refined and has found her way up to the couch. They have both spent quite a bit of time out in the yard today running with Dakota, my old greyhound. Will keep in touch- Margaret

Dear Sherry,
I just wanted to thank you taking the time to speak to me last night about getting a borzoi. Your compassion at my situation was appreciated and the knowledge you shared about the breed, breeders, etc. was invaluable.
I have decided I am most interested in your upcoming litter and am just hoping you will find me the perfect guy.
I did have a few questions for you if you have the time- Can you give me a price range that I am looking at for a male pup (I am sure that is not definite until you actually see your pups), how much shipping usually runs to West Palm Beach, Fl and is there a contract involved?
Thanks again,
Amy
PS- I think I spent about another hour last night looking at all the dogs on your site. What an accomplishment you have. They are all beautiful, of course, but what struck me was at how happy they all look.

re: Texas Rose

Hi Sherry - Can you believe it is a week today!?!  It seems like she's been here forever.  She has settled in so nicely.  I gave her her first bath which she didn't really care for but she was good.  Aunt Zoey and Texas Rose like to dig in my garden so I see more baths in her future.

YES I'M WORKING ON THE NAME . . . it is coming to me.  My friend from Holland is hot on the topic since she speaks many languages.  I promise by week's end the Texas Rose will have a name.  I'll call you this week to give you live Feedback.

There are no words to express my happiness with her.  I shall ever be grateful to you.

Lots of Love to you all!

Thanks Sherry,
You are welcome to reprint what I sent you.
An interesting aside to the accomplishments is my bitch Brocade.  One day icy day during a snow storm, I was putting the dogs in the run.  I slipped and fell.  Fortunately for me, Brocade was under my hand.  She braced and took my falling weight on her shoulders.  From that moment until the day she died, in every slippery weather condition  Brocade would place herself next to me under my hand -- just in case.
Borzois are truly amazing dogs.

    Hello,
    I thought you would like to know that I had two wonderful borzois in NJ for the last 10 years.  As the Director of a center for people with a wide variety of disabilities I was privileged to bring my Sasha see many people with disabilities: Cerebral Palsy, blind, deaf, wheelchair users, and just about any mental or physical disability you can think of. Sasha was a tall borzoi, but he would crouch when approaching people who were afraid and gently put his head on their laps patiently waiting for them to respond.  Spastic people and people with screeching voices did not affect him.  He simply looked at them with understanding of their true beauty. The beauty, that we often do not see ourselves. People responded with the same understanding.  It was truly a privilege to witness.  Sometimes miracles happen when you least expect them.  Sasha is gone now, but I am thrilled to find that you continue to provide dogs who can give this useful service.
    I want to applaud your use of your dogs in this kind of work.  The dog deserves the highest praise, the breeder of such a fine animal deserves my respect and the people who receive their affection my admiration..
    Thank you for your efforts in this field.

He and kitty sleep together...as long as I pretend not to notice the cat "likes" him. He likes the hill behind my house...yes...he is a puppy but still quick. He also seems t enjy the bathtub...I need to convince him that there is only room for one of us at a time...he puts his paws on the edge and just looks like "if I could only figure out how to get in"1 Well I am going to take him out to potty...I'll write and e-mail pic's ;ater.

Re: Cheval
Hi, Sherry -

Sorry to be so late in getting back to you, but it's
been crazy ever since I got back, trying to catch up.
 It's a realy busy time for logan, with end-of-school
events, beginning of swim team and tennis team, and an
unusual number of birthday parties....

Logan (teenage son) and Cheval (Shefaro Borzoi) really have hit it off, although
there hasn't been a lot of plain ole play time -
mostly it's been pile into the car and go!

Every where I take Cheval, people stare and comment
about what a big - and beautiful - dog he is.   (I'm
sure you're used to that!)

It still amazes me that he has such a terrific
temperament. He behaves as though he's been here for
years, instead of just days....

I haven't had the opportunity to take photos of Cheval
and Logan together, but I will do so - and e-mail them
to you.  

Hope everything is going well there.


Dane  

Hi, Sherry -

We are here, and Cheval is adjusting nicely.  He is an
unbelievably good traveler, but after 1800 miles, we
are both sick of driving!  

Got here late this afternoon, and after a nap, I've
been watering all the plants that got wilty in my
absence...

Cheval (who seems intent on using the Koi pond in my
living room as his water supply) sends kisses.

Re: Toli

> He made it safe and sound . . . what a sweetheart!  There is no grass around our airport so I made a paper bed in the restroom for him to go right away.  I opened the crate, put my hand just inside, and he walked right up to me and laid his head right in my hand . . . walking out to the parking garage, I held him and he looked up into my eyes almost the whole time . . I couldn't help but just laugh!  I think we are a pair!  We went to the Jeep, played outside then headed home.  He laid on my lap for the 40 minute ride, I sang to him, massaged his feet, held him the whole way.  He is absolutely gorgeous - more than I anticipated.  Once we got home, I put him out immediately, as he had not gone the whole trip.   You would have thought he was already house broken.  I just took some pictures, will send them tomorrow.  Just finished playing outside and having a treat . . . We are both about ready to hit the hay.  What a wonderful experience!  Can't thank you enough! Denise.

Maybe someday I can tell you just what this has meant to me at this point in my life.  Just know that you have provided a treasure to one woman in central Ohio!

Hello, Sherry.
I live in New Jersey but will be moving to 2 acres on a private country road in the hills of sw Washington state by mid-July.  I have been thinking about a Borzoi for some time now, but wasn't really motivated until I started breed compatabilty testing on some websites and the Borzoi kept coming up in my choices as one of the top 3.  Then I saw your puppy
"Show Girl" on next day pets and fell in love, so found your kennel on
google.  You've accomplished an amazing achecivement in my eyes,
so many perfect old fashioned types of Borzoi, with the amazing silky
coats and musculature, and that air about them of pure sterling quality.
Really exquisite animals...

Re: Gabriela

Sherry,

I got your contract and I will print it off at my husbands office either
Monday or Tuesday, and send it back to you.  We are all so excited.  I am
thinking about names such as Zoya or Raisa, but not sure yet. I even like
Gaby. I would like a good Russian name!  I went through your web page
entirely, and I am so amazed at how you capture the birth and their life in
pictures.  I certainly admire your photographic abilities.  I have never
seen a breeder that put so much detail in their website, good job!  Let me
know if I am supposed to give you a deposit now (how much) and when I pay
the rest.

I was so excited I forgot to ask you some questions:
Any health problems in the puppy, dam or sire?
Have the parents had their hips/eyes checked?
What kind of food do you feed them now?
Does their fur mat easily, like the bichons?  It looks really silky
How often do you bathe or brush your guys?
Do they have to get sent to the groomers for trims?
How big do estimate her height? weight?  It is hard to tell by looking at
her parents?
Will she keep her two-tone mask on her face, or will it change colors?
Are they pretty affectionate in general and like to cuddle on the couch?
Where does she sleep now?  Is she inside or outside during the day?
Is she home-acclimated?

You have so much acreage, I feel almost guilty for taking her away from your
lovely home.  I have always dreamed about living on a big farm, with a lot
of animals.  To me you are living the "American Dream"!

I may have more questions, but this is it for now.  Getting packed to
travel, I will be home tomorrow night.  Have a good weekend!

Good morning, Sherry! (my nickname for Sheryl, too!)
I am sorry that I did not respond to your e-mail right away, as my sister came up from Rhode Island with her 13 yr old son to visit.
 I do want a dog that would be with us as a family, and if she would be adaptable to the house as well as the yard. My Llasa Apso would love a friend to play with, and to encourage fresh air is what I have in mind, but rest assured, if Sonrisa is a bed dog, or a couch dog, that will be hers!!! (I have no intensions of taking her away from any comfortable setting., and I love a dog that is lovable, ie, needing love as well as cuddling, etc.)... fresh air I mean outdoors,..there are no smoking policy in my house for the sake of health for pets and humans!  I was hoping to give you a little background of where I am coming from, ie, my intentions, so that you could get to know me, and see if you are comfortable as I would need that from you, since you are a respectable dog trainer.
The fenced in area is going to be 1/2 acre, but accessible to 2 entrances to the house, both levels. I also think she would love the snow, so am very excited about bringing her to NH.
Do you have any questions for me?
I am trying to check to see if there is a direct flight Continental to Manchester, NH.
Warm regards,
sher
PS, patriotic and proud Texan website,...I LOVE it! Also home of the "River Walk" and the US Army Medical training center, where my 24 yr old son (who was born in Arkansas) went to get his training before he took 1 year stint in Iraq, to forge his way with the 28th Combat Support Hospital trough the sands until they reopened one of Saddams marble hospitals, gold lined sinks, etc. They brought American Xrays/MRIs and American Medicine right there in the middle of chaos. Thank God he is back! Proud Momma, here

My new dearest bestest Texan friend, Sherry!
I am so very excited about meeting my new LOVE, as are my friends and kiddoes, too! I have gotten so many of my friends alerted to me new addition to my family. I feel like a new mommy!!
Can you give me an idea of what She has been eating? special food? or does she get into the goats food?
My Llasa Apso has Pedigree. My kitten eats Fancy Feast. They pretty much stay away from each others food,...have more or less built a respect for each other. Wondering, as I believe keeping the same dog food is best, for the animal, and would like it to adjust well.

Eating is no problem, she has free fed all day today. She has had a very good appetite and has had plenty of water. I am feeding the same food and treats as you have described. I have not left her side at all today. She follows me everywhere I go, it is so cute. I think my IG's are a little hyper for her taste. They go outdoors and chase each other, and they try to encourage her to play, but she hasn't taken off with them yet. She met our great dane next door through the fence. When she got close to him, she backed off fast. I think she thought he was another species. I have introduced her slowly to Sobe and Mia when I can watch all three. Last night I slept with her, and tonight Thomas is sleeping with her. She has taken well to both of my kids. Thomas has fallen for her and she for him. They just cuddle in the floor and look so cute. She is such a beauty.   She went with me to pick up the children at the bus stop, and did fine in the car. I just love her temperment! I think she will be a perfect pet therapy dog.   I will not force the issue with the collar, I will carry her to my car when we travel.

Good Morning Sherry
Hurricane was no problem.Matador is doing excellent. I may need to get him a racing helmet. He runs so fast it makes you wonder how good his radar is. I sure hope he doesn't hit a tree. He is eating well & is beautiful to look at.He's my buddy. He sleeps on the couch in the bedroom & watches Fox News Channel. He will be registered a Republican... Dogs vote where I live. Most are better bred than the people... I will call you soon.....John Lyon

Subject: Thank you for your site

Sherry,

My name is Casey  and my husband and I had the great pleasure of being proud parents and friend to our Borzoi, Shadda for 9.5 years. However, after a freak and disturbing accident...after a series of x-rays, consultations and no news that gave us reason to believe Shadda would recover from the injuries without enduring a great deal more pain, multiple surgeries and 10-12 months of debilitation, we decided to say goodnight to our friend and we watched him go to sleep for the last time on August 20th at 3:48 in the afternoon.  We miss him deeply. We’ve never experienced such a bond and loving relationship with an animal as we did with Shadda. He was truly our child and there is no replacement for him. However, once the grief has passed we may give consideration to finding another wonderful Borzoi companion.

My husband and I ... are not looking for a show dog, but rather a Borzoi from a good line with the best of characteristics and temperament. We have followed your site and respect your dedication to the breed and to the care you clearly provide to this high maintenance but unique breed.

We’d like to thank you for your site and the many pictures you share with those of us who are Borzoi fans. It has been a great comfort to us to be able to look at your web pictures of the Shefaro Borzois running happy, healthy and free during our time of grief. Shadda is missed. But it’s wonderful to see that the beauty and grace of this breed lives on.....
Kind Regards,
Casey

Dear Sherry,
I have been looking at your website for the past two days. I have been awe struck at your furry children. I have also looked at your adoption form. You are people who care about one of God's most beautiful creatures, the Borzoi. I was loved by one of those majestic creatures for twelve years. During that time I came into contact with several other Borzoi, one I spotted from the car and pretty well tracked down the owner just to talk to her about her dog. Of the Borzoi I have seen, none of them seemed to be as beautiful and my Annistazzia. I say that with the love of a mom and the assurance of the books on Borzoi I read before I brought her home at the tender age of 10 weeks.
While I was looking through your website, I noticed your Shefaro clones, well if there is anything to this then Annistazzia and Vida and several of your white with lemon colored Borzoi are clones. Who came first I cannot say. Annistazzia, was born in August of 1991. I would have included a picture, but it seems that all of my electronic machinery to make that possible, has decided to go on strike.
For the twelve years I was blessed with her, she was the "poster girl" of good health. It was her last year 2003 that she became very ill and eventually, after talking to my veterinarian I had to make a very sad decision. I am writing to you, now because I have missed her very much, and while looking at your site, I saw Vida, and her puppies born on my birthday, only in my case a few years ago. I have long wanted to find the breeders, whom I owed a great deal of happiness to. You see Annistazzia was a rescue puppy. If somehow she, or her parents came from your wonderful home, it would be like having her legacy live on. She never had any puppies, I chose not to have her spayed, at my vet's suggestion. I took proper care to prevent any unwanted little ones, even though, once when she was in season, a black Pomeranian seemed to take her fancy. She was sitting in the entryway of my home, and he was wagging his tail at her through the screen. What a site!
During her lifetime, we traveled across the United States, two times, she even let me drive, that is after she got out of the driver's seat.
She was the roller-blade puller for my youngest son, until she pulled him into a very big bush. Her need for exercise was equal to my son's need for letting go of some of his excess energy. He is now in the US. Army, he just made Sergeant, his older brother is also in the Army and he is waiting to become a fulfledged Master Sergeant. I also have a very lovely daughter, who has had many pictures taken of her in prom gowns with Annistazzia at her side. I tell you this because, Annistazzia was spoiled with extra love when these three children went out into the world to make their lives as adults. They are the ones who told me that she was very spoiled, I concluded that they must also have been spoiled.
Annistazzia, was one of the sweetest and most patient creatures I have ever known. And one day I hope to have another Borzoi. After reading your stories about your Borzoi, I can only think about Shefaro Borzoi as the ideal.
Thank you for your wonderful site, and I can only envy you the joy of so many Borzoi and the beauty of the land that they live in.
Sincerely,
Janet Miller

I love the way Leonardo has adapted to farm life...he is a magnificent creature up here. In the very  first week he caught and killed 3 possums which had managed to get into the  house. He loves to swim in the well-pond out back and has turned into the  dog I have always desired...I so dearly love him..You have given me the  greatest gift of all..a truly wonderful, loyal companion.

Sherry,
I have to say that out of all of the research I have done on Borzoi, yours is the best website. Your Borzoi are absolutely beautiful and are just what I am looking for when I am ready to purchase my companion, my new best friend. I have been following this breed for at least 20 years. I have gone to shows in the state of Virginia and have never missed the Virginia Kennel Club show here in Richmond, Virginia.
Their faces are so loving and just seem to say, "I will love you forever". I cannot wait for the day to come when I can hopefully and proudly tell people who ask where I got my best friend from. I can guarantee you that if I am that lucky, this Borzoi will not want for anything, especially love and the best of health and caring 'relatives'(my family).
I will continue to check your website and see all of the accomplishments and look for more pictures and updates. In the meantime, can you please let me know the prices of your Borzoi for pet/companion quality? I would be looking to purchase one within the next year, and would drive down there to pick up my new best friend in person....Ü
Thank you so much for your wonderful site dedicated to your love of Borzoi and thank you in advance for the information I have requested.

Hi!
I happened across your web site...
You are so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful animals.
The Mother Teresa 'Do it Anyway' write up is what impressed me to ask you if any of the pups are still available? (I often refer to my copy during 'those times')..
Please visit my web site to learn more about me.
My soul mate dog Buddy, (sitting under a tree with me in the bio page) passed away this Sept. He was 12 1/2. I had him since birth, and never spent one day away from him or his litter mate Scooter (which I still have).. Yup, even if I had to leave town, they both went with me! Never spending one day in a cage.
I'm still grief striken, and so is Scooter.
Currently, I'm living in San Diego on the water.. but am house hunting and hope to have a permanate place soon. If not, then I'll have to wait. It seems like your new puppies will be ready for a new home in February?
Scooter is concerned that they'll be no one to look after me when it's his time.. so I decided it's best to introduce a new puppy into my life. I've never not had a dog and can't imagine life without one... or 2..
Just so you know, I work out of my house.. otherwise the dogs go to work with me at The Comedy Store in La Jolla or the club on Sunset in West Hollywood. This past Saturday I took Scooter into the club in La Jolla, he sat in the booth with me and watched the show! He didn't bark once. :)
I look forward to hearing from you!
Best Regards with Warm Holiday Wishes,
Scooter and Sandi C. Shore

I don't know how you do it... He was so good on the trip home..he didn't get sick on the car ride..he slept..
we stopped for several potties and drinks and small snacks...he loved the snow and pounced in it....
we didn't get the reciept , I brought the paypal reciept and that seemed to be sufficent enough for Customs.
We stopped in Spokane and took him shopping in Petco...New toys, baby food, and the cookies that you gave
him for his trip...etc... I will be sending you some pictures tommorrow ..He has filled an empty Space in our lives..
I still can't beleive we have our baby...I wanted to take pictures when he arrived at the airport but my eyes were filled

Sherry,
Sorry we have been so behind in sending pix. Last time Michelle tried, she couldn't get them to go, so I'm trying again with hopes of better luck.
Diego is a real sweetheart, although quite the baby - he cries about everything. He seems to have taken over now that he is taller than our Golden - they are now good buds although the Cavaliers could care less. He thinks the sofa is his and likes to cuddle on Michelle's bed at night. He is growing like a weed and has doubled his weight, if not more and has coloring like his mom - tons of black speckles. He has a good appetite! He is definitely a snow dog and loves laying out in the cold on the deck. We put a dog bed out there just for him. Will send a pix separately showing our last big snowfall - 20"!!! He also loves his hikes and walks around the neighborhood. I'm anxious for spring to arrive so we can do a bit more of that, but I don't think it is going to be anytime soon.
We are enjoying him thoroughly - can you tell?
Hope you enjoy the pictures; keep in touch,
Vicki

She is just great! The plane trip took a lot out of her, and she was very sluggish for several days afterward. We actually started to wonder if we had gotten a Lesser Pyrenees instead of a Great Pyrenees. It didn't take long for her to become accustomed to her new surroundings, and she is absolutely wonderful. I like to play pretty hard with a dog, and my wife likes to cuddle. She fits both our desires perfectly. I can't believe how intelligent she is. She learns things so quickly. She also is very independent. Those two traits have caused a few conversations between her and me, but we generally reach a compromise that is acceptable to both of us. I know that different people have different preferences in a dog, but my wife and I have never owned or seen one that fills ours so perfectly. We are very happy; thank you so much.
Have a good Thanksgiving.

Hello!
Sorry I have been out of touch for so long.
Basil is well and wonderful. Santa brought him a new comfy bed which he really likes. At this moment he is snoozing on it while Jillie lies next to him gnawing on his beef bone; he is very good about sharing!
We had to make a trip up to Colorado before Christmas to bring my mother-in-law down to Carlsbad. We borrowed a Ford Excursion for the trip and Basil had the whole rear section of the vehicle to lounge in, complete with mattress and blanket. He behaved very well and enjoyed himself a great deal, as you can see by the two photos from Utah! He especially enjoyed playing in whatever snow we came across, and certainly wasn't bothered by the extreme cold we encountered at times.
You can just barely make him out in the "Basil the Cowdog" picture, but he is the white dot beside the horse and rider, faithfully keeping position behind the herd. I have never before heard of a Borzoi cowdog, but at the rate he is going, he will make a good one!
Hope your holidays were pleasant and that you and all your critters are doing well.
Take care,
Mary

Hi Sherry.. Here is a Legalas update.. Sorry it has been so long... but have been really busy at work and of course spending time with legs. He became a doggie school dropout due to job which kept scheduling me on class days.. He did learn how to sit and lay down.. Not too good at staying ... too much to do very busy dog. He and thumper like to play with stuffed toys and tear them up.. Thumper is amazed that legs can now pull him around. Legs can now look into my eyes when standing on his hind legs...His coat is beautiful.. eats lots of eggs... sometimes eats them all out of the pot (big boy) His tail is really plumey. He still has africa on his side and is almost as big (LOL). My sister was here a couple of weeks ago and he fell in love and slept with his head on the pillow next to her. He does now take up the whole side of the bed..He has learned to open the gates to the fence so i put locks on them.... I keep meaning to take pictures now that I have camera, but camera always not in hand when particuallry cute....Now weather is better perhaps can get some good outside shots of him and the hole they are digging to china. He is just the greatest dog... He gives hugs and leans on you. and now when he "sits" on my lap he just puts his middle in it the legs are on the floor. Hard to believe that he is almost a year old. Will have to have a party for him and invite some doggy friends.. Have to meet some of course... other than thumper. (best bud). He is gentle. Also very fey...like a fairy... very delicate..and he doesnt walk...just floats along. He likes to go in the car.. still gets sick and feels poorly for a while after...Nothing like diving down the road holding his snout but we appear to be making progress.   He is such an awesome dog.. Last night we were at grandmas and legs was cleaning the dishes in her sink.. Very helpful around the house. Now if I could just get him to learn to vacuum.... already has taught us the importance of totally clean and bare counter tops and to put our shoes up when not on feet. and all kinds of other helpful cleaning tips... Happy Easter again...Nancy and Legs

Hi Sherry!
Just sending you an e-mail to let you know how great things are going
with the new puppy. I finally picked a definite name for him, and it's
not Mishkin. I decided to name him Niko (short for Nikolai). It's not
the most original name for a borzoi I know, but it suits him I think.
It just came out of my mouth one day when I called for him, and it
stuck. So if you want to change any paperwork to reflect this new name,
feel free!

Niko is doing just GREAT. He is happy, healthy, and a ton of fun. He
follows me around like a shadow, and seems very comfortable in his new
home. I swear he's grown at least 3 inches in height and length since
he arrived! He's climbing and descending stairs now (which he could not
do this time last week), torturing the cat, chewing on everything like a
true puppy, and trying his hardest to master potty-training. The
weather has been so awful here (pouring rain daily for a week now), it's
impossible to spend much time outdoors...so a few accidents are to be
expected. And you should hear him Sherry! He's very vocal. He's not
really a barker, but he sure loves to talk to me in what I call his
grumble-voice. He sounds like a moaning old man....especially when he
sleeps. It's as if he purrs or something! So cute!!!!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how happy we both are, and to tell
you how grateful I am to have such a quality new friend.

Check out his pictures! He just LOVES that hat (and yes I am being
sarcastic). Since this photo session, he has pretty much demolished it.
So much or playing dress-up! Photo # 102 0256.JPG is just too cute
though!!!

He's taking a nap in the sunny kitchen right now after helping us put up some Christmas lights outside. He's such a cutie. He cries whenever we're out of site and if someone walks away. So far he's been a good boy though! Doesn't need to go out every 30 minutes like the little Aussie puppy thank goodness!

of the carrier. She is precious and so responsive. She is integrating with the
Dogs and everyone seems just like they were always together. No words would

Sherry,

Boy was Daisy happy to see us when we picked her up at the
airport last night! She has a wonderful disposition, very playful and
curious. My husband actually got a puppy yesterday, too! He got an Irish
Wolfhound-Standard Poodle cross. The two puppies are having a ball
together. Kazi is adjusting well to his new buddies also.

We all went for a little walk this morning. Daisy didn't like the collar
and leash much at first. She bucked like a little bronco, but then
decided she wanted to walk with us and trotted along. She loves to
wrestle the chew ball that we got for her. She and John's new puppy
slept together last night. They fussed for about 30 minutes and then
they both went to sleep. It was a long day for both of them and they
were tired. We had them sleep in the crate for their first night. They
were quiet until I let them out at 6:00 a.m. this morning. Then they
were back at it with renewed puppy enthusiasm!

I took pictures and will send you some when I get the film developed and
put on a CD.

Hi Sherry,
After a week of excitingly waiting for our new puppy we finally got to meet him at 8:15 at the Continental Cargo area and I have to say what a beautiful little puppy he is. My wife, kids and I couldn't be happier. Once we got him home I let him run around outside for a while to get acclimated and do any business he had to do and then I brought him in the house. We all sat in a circle and let him come up to us, let him sniff us, and we all got to know each other. The kids were way too excited to go to bed but after letting them and the puppy get used to each other they finally went to bed at 9:45. He sniffed around the house and right now found a comfortable spot and is sleeping. We absolutely love him and I want to thank you for sending us such a beautiful dog.

Sometimes buying something as important as a puppy over the internet is risky but after talking to you a little, reading the testimonials and viewing other things on your webpage it made me feel at ease. I could tell you love your animals which also made me comfortable. Take care and I will send over more pictures as Gus get's bigger.

morning and she told me he is mine. I told her is all of ours. He is a

You're right, he is a great dog. We can tell already, he seems like he's going to be a very loyal friend. He did fine on the trip. He was a little shaky when we first got him out of the crate at the airport, but after some food and a drink he perked right up. We had a 1 1/2 hour drive home from the airport and he slept the entire way. He seems to adapt really well. Our kids just love him and are giving him tons of attention.
We bought him to be a family pet/farm guard dog. He is going to be staying outside  and will be able to roam free on our land. What would you put in his dog house? We'll take all of the advice on him that you want to give!
Don't worry, we'll take good care of him. It was really different buying a dog this way. It was like he was a member of the family when we decided to take him, we looked at pictures of him and talked about him every day. I started crying when I first saw him at the airport! He is loved!

He is doing good. He does not like to be away from us unless he is with the collie or the sheltie and he likes the tile floor inside because it cool. On the way up he was really good. nothing happened and he just slept the whole time. We are heading back to New Mexico tomarrow and will get everything done this week. We have not named the puppy yet but should have a name settled on soon. he does like to chase the other dogs but when he does not know what is going on he just sits there and watches. He is a really smart dog. He has learned to sit for a treat from watching the others. We want to register the puppy with the base vet when we get back so if there is a way to get the shot records soon it would be appreciated. Thanks a lot and we will send you some pictures when we get back to New Mexico. Thanks!

Sorry it took a while to get back with you. We have had a very busy
weekend. We absolutely love Sampson. We decided to name him that because
he just looked like one. He is doing great with his leash training and so
far...knock on wood....has not done any of his business inside the house.
I can tell he misses home though. We just keep on loving him and giving
him lots of cuddles. He slept with me last night and he talks in his
sleep. He was having his puppy dreams. He is eating well but we could not
 find Diamond Premium. I decided to put him on Nutro large breed puppy
food. I hope the transition will be smooth.
He  is hilarious when he drinks water! He sticks his entire nose in it.
The he dribbles it all over. We had to go to small group this evening
and when we came back he was very glad to see us. He has been a little
more chipper for this evening. If we go in another room he barks to remind
us he is there...lol He has started to chew a bit on my shoes and the kids
toys. We keep trying to show him his toys but likes the smell of everyone
else better. This afternoon we went to a friends house and he came along.
They couldn't believe how laid back he was for a pup. His walks are funny
because he will go for a while and plop on his bottom for a break until he
gets a whiff of something interesting.  We will send pics soon.  Thank you
so much. Oh yes he likes to hang out with Kasey and Bear.  Particularly Kasey because he is much more willing to play. Have a great night!!!!!!!!

Thanks for Black Beauty! I know she will fit in just right around here! We got home and had to go outside to the bath room in the drizzling rain and the horses found her very interesting from the other side of the fence. lol she was a little nervous and I had to carry her into the house. Once inside she felt like she needed a nap and is sleeping as I speak right now. I sent you pictures of her that I just took. I think in a few days she will be running around like she has always lived here! We will take good care of her. Thank you.

She doing fine-been asleep for quite a while this morning, but she was running around in the yard, chasing her toys and retreiving them back to us. She was trying to keep up w/Ramus and did a pretty good job, he's so gentle w/her.
She pottied right when I put her down on the grassy area last night-then again in the yard, and so on today-not one accident, she's so smart. She ate well, and I gave her her pill, just plopped her down on my lap and pilled her-went right down.
It only took her 1/2 the ride home from the airport last night to come around and start chewing on her towel we had in the front seat. The lady at the parking gate, kept us there for quite a while, saying how beautiful she was, and is.
Will tell you more later on-so far a sheer delight-she sure can run-she was chasing her shadow last night about 1:00.
Don't you have shows this weekend? Good luck!

Well, here is the first of my BorBoys. I'm just learning how to use this camera. They are so cute--animated while vacillating between coy, demure, timid and devilish, stealthy. When Zorro (the bigger blaze) knocked Diego (the smaller one) into the pool he was frantic, pacing and whimpering, and right at Steven's feet when he grabbed Diego up in a towel and brought him to me. They love and cuddle each other, then turn around and gnaw of each other--lots of yelping going on---their teeth are sharp and they bite each other pretty hard.  They are clown hounds, bubba boys, and sanitation engineers. They eat dirt, plants, sticks, bark, the deck, snails (they seem particularly fond of these), paper towels, buckets, my robe (while I'm in it!), and the list is growing each new area they find to explore .

Sherry, you are really an inspiration to others with the love and care you have chosen to take to make this magnificent breed happy, not only in the correct breeding which produces physical health, which in turn produces freedom and calmness of mind - but the joy you have introduced into the lives of your borzoi owners and the relevant joy that has translated itself to your pups is unprecedented in my travels.....and I have travelled and have seen lots of borzois.

Hi there,
We wanted to let you know that we have adopted  Prince Nikolai of Ward, aka Guerrero, from the Wards August 27, 2005. He is absolutely wonderful, sweet, loving, and gorgeous, and also has the companionship of Ronan, our 2 year old Irish wolfhound. Right now Nikolai is sound asleep on the sofa after making it into our bed last night.  He fit into our home immediately, even using the doggie door without us having to show him. If you'd like, we can send you some photos as soon as my husband downloads them. Also, if there is any information you'd like to share with us about him, we'd greatly appreciate it.
Needless to say, Nikolai has a home for life. We are humbled and honored to have this precious creature in our life.
The Wards are also incredibly kind and loving people, and they hold you in the highest esteem.
Sincerely,
Ron & Doreen

I do have a question. I've noticed that some of your dogs have become certified therapy dogs. How does this work, and do you think Nikolai would enjoy something like that after he's had more time to adjust to his new home?

Hi Sherry,
I am going to try a couple of photos. He is doing great! Not so thrilled with the crate but we are getting there. Great on his leash and he loved his first walk this morning. We have named him Mishka - the Russian diminutive of Mikhail. Our old dog's name was Micah and of course we have Molly so a Russian name close to Micah that began with an M was a given. It is perfect for him. We cannot believe his personality and how well suited it is for our family. He is similar to Micah's personality and he already LOVES Brennan.
Hope these come through...I change the camera settings to "email".

Going to Texas, and visiting you, Sherry and your incredible dogs, was one of the highlights of my life. You gave us lots of treats, biscuits and cheese to give to the dogs and let us share in the extraordinary beauty and character of your world-famous pets. One of the main reasons I came back twice, in addition to wanting to take more time to bond with the dogs, that I was going to take with me, was to be with you and your calm and ordered beautiful environment. I am in LA and run my own large business. That speaks for itself.
I have had Borzois for twenty years and I have witnessed many types and categories of Borzoi's, therefore, I consider myself an expert. Your breed line is the best and most consistent that I have ever seen.  Despite the heat of Texas, your dogs have the most amazing coats and their character is gentle and friendly.   They have adapted so very well in my home. As you know they had a 16 hour trip by air being shunted back and forth because of the hurricane and Houston's refusal to take animals at the last minute. I was totally amazed at how they adapted to that too. That says a lot for the breeding Sherry and a lot for you too!!
Thank you so very much for these wonderful pups.

Here's a quick picture of Tigress in her new home. She's doing great! Housetraining is going well. She didn't even wake me up last night to go out. She's had a little difficulty with the steps but is now getting up and down even the big flight fairly well. Yesterday we walked a couple of miles. She had a ball catching grasshoppers. The girls love her and she's fitting right in. We just need to convince her that the cats live here and are not for her to chase. I'm sure that will come soon. We start puppy class tomorrow evening with Dr. Creese. Everyone at the vet's office is excited to meet her. I'll send more pictures soon.

They have been playing indoors , Cisne likes all the stuffed toys, and parades around with them. Tosca is so thrilled to play with her,,,it is so cool to see them on the floor rolling around together. Tosca also LOVES to groom her, licking her ears and snuggling and submitting to her at feeding time....Tova sniffs her, and goes walkies on the brace, but doesn't play with her (which is to be expected with an older bitch).... I am trying to make sure to show afffection to ALL of them, so there is no jealousy.

Sherry,
Just a note to let you know that we totally love Tigress. What a honey!!! I am sold on Borzois and on Shefaro in particular. She is everything you said and better--beautiful and just as sweet as she can be. She is my shadow. She's rarely more than a few feet from me. She loves to go with me in the car--all I have to do is pick up my car keys and she's at the door ready to go. She's worked out an uneasy truce with the cats. They don't run anymore so they aren't any fun anyway. She had her spay operation last week and did great. Everybody at the vet's office commented on what a lover she is. We had to miss puppy class because of her surgery so we'll start again next week. The first week she was a little intimidated by the other pups. She'd only been here a couple of days and was a little unsure of herself. I'm sure next time she'll enjoy herself and play more.
She's quite the conversation starter as well. Since Carbondale is the home of the Southern Illinois University Salukis, the question I get all the time is "Oh, is it a saluki?" Of course I can tell them no, she's better! We are truly grateful to have her as a part of our family. We'll keep you updated.
Hope all is going well for you. I've been watching the pups grow on the website. They are cuties. Saw Guillermo at the Houston Eukanuba Dog Show on Animal Planet. What a handsome guy! It was great to hear your name as breeder.
Well, I'll sign off for now. Tigress sends kisses to her Mom Sherry and her thanks for giving her such a great start. I'll write again soon.

Hello, Just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed watching the Anatolian babies grow. I am 64 and spend most of my time at home. We picked up an Anatolian/Great Pyrenees pup at 8wk. three years ago. We have never had such loving dog and there has been a few over the years. We live in town with a large fenced yard and he seems very happy to be a conpanion, loves to cuddle on the bed in the evening and also keeps me company all day long. I look forward watching your pups.

Dear Sherry,

Argus is safely home. We are three hours from Memphis-we gave him water and potty breaks on the way home. The rest of the time he snuggled up in my arms. Our animals at home are slowly warming up to him already. He ate a big bowl of puppy food and did his buisness outside. He has a wonderful personality!!! Right now he is asleep beside me on the couch. We are in love-thank you for this joyous addition to our family. I will send pictures in he next few days.
Hugs and kisses from Argus. Give Dolly and Cujo a big hug and thanks-Does Dolly miss her pups?
Love
The Wassner Family!

What a night we had -- the weather conditions are horrible, and the flight out of SLC was delayed over an hour. Once the flight arrived in Billings, I didn't get my hands on him for over an hour (this is a very small airport) - so it was 6:45 by the time I got him into the Explorer to head home. He had a long day.  But! I have him now and he's BEAUTIFUL!!   Haven't had any sucess going potty outside - the minute his feet hit the snow, he sits down and looks at me like "you gotta be kidding!" He has a darling cable knit nordic sweater which he thinks is dumb. But he gets cold really fast when he's outside.  He ate, drank and is now being wild. The rugs are great fun.
His Snuggle Puppy is all ready (as I was reading instructions - there is even an appropriate spot to put a bottle through in case you have a kitten or puppie on formula. I thought that was pretty cool).
Well, I'm going to go get something to eat and I talk to you later.
Thank you - for bringing me this beautiful little soul.

Subject: puppy question
Ms. Rodarmor
I found you on Puppyfinder.com and viewed your website. I've been researching for several months in order to identify the dog breed which best suits my husband and me. He and I have recently purchased a home in Austin, TX. I'm a supervisor for an Invesigations unit for Children's Protective Services. He's a Detective for Austin Police Department. He'll very likely be moving soon to a department which will require him to work even more nights. Despite the fact that we live in a nice neighborhood (low crime) and have an ADT alarm system, I can't help but feel really alone at times. It's likely caused by my daily exposure to the not nice people in society and their constant threats.
I want a calm dog who has the instinctive ability to protect me. Through my research I've found that there are few breeds who are instinctivly both calm and protective. You have three of these breeds Antolian Shepherd, Great Pyrenees and Akbash. I noticed that you've recently bred your Great Pyrenees and Antolian Shepherd. This greatly interests me. If the pictures are half as precious as these pups you've definetly got some little gems on your hands.
I decided to be a bit personal in this email due to your strict guidelines for adopting/purchasing your pups. This really impresses me also.
One last thing, my husband is not only a Police Officer, he served in Marine corps for four and a half years.
Please consider us as prospective parents.
Thank you,
Holly and Frank

Hi Sherry,
He arrived in good condition and was just very very tired.
When his crate arrived in the airport arrival office he was crying his heart out; actually howling !!!
He curled up in Carlos's arms as we drove home.
He began kissing and got comfortable....
At home the kids just started kissing him frantically.
It was unbelievable.   After he ate, drank and had  his potty break, he was exausted, as were we, and went to bed..
He curled up and slept on my neck....and so did Paloma......and so did Pinto!!!!!
imagine it!!!
I could barely breath...
Carlos couldn't stop laughing!!!!
He is beautiful...A real special gift from above....
Can't wait to see him running around...

She is far more than I ever dreamt of and has quickly completely stolen my heart.

We don’t always agree with Mr. Bush but we respect him and pray for him. He is OUR president.
I am interested in a puppy. We currently have an adopted greyhound and a cat. We have tried to adopt other retired racers but it did not work out with the cat. I have always loved the look of the Borzoi and would like information about future puppies.

Sherry,
Oso (which means bear in Spanish) is doing FABULOUS!!!
He hasn't had one accident in the home! He seems to be already potty trained. I just open the door say "Potty" and he goes out and does his business. Then I make a fuss over his good job and he just licks and licks me. He's such a smart little boy.
I've introduced him to everyone and they absolutley love him. I've been taking him to work with me and everyone there loves him too. They say they've never seen me so happy. I just feel great when he's with me.
Today is my birthday so of course we went to work. Played during breaks by running around outside acting completely silly. Then we got home and the neighbors who have 2 little girls spotted Oso. Oso perked up and played and played and played with them. He played so much in fact that after about 30 minutes he ran from the girls and hid in his crate. Guess he was pooped out cause the girls were so energetic.
Frank loves him too, but I can't imagine someone loving him more than me. I'm definitely attached BIG TIME. He and Frank have this little bark and growl game that Oso doesn't do with me. It's rather interesting really. Seems to me like Oso is trying to be Frank's boss. Oso also seems to stick a bit closer to me than Frank.
He's so smart Sherry. We already play a little bit of fetch with this really cute little ball I bought him.
Today I bought some special sensitive puppy shampoo and I think we'll tackle our first bath. All that play has gotten Oso a bit stinky, but I don't really mind.
My kitty cat, Mr. Sphinx, doesn't really know what to think about Oso so he just sits and watches him. Oso of course is bigger than Mr. Sphinx already.
Ok if you're wanting to hear the not so good news it would be that he's eaten practically all my trees I planted in the back yard and he knocked Mr. Sphinx cat bowl over and it broke into a million pieces. I really don't mind all this though. I can always buy a new bowl and it'll be fun to dig in the dirt with Oso and plant new trees.
His poop is great solid not runny, he's eating as he pleases, he enjoys his special treats, he loves his rawhide chew toys ....oh and of course he loves my shoes too. I had to put all my shoes away (no more scatter here and there) because I want to stop that catastrophe before it starts.
....guess I've typed your ears off :)
....gotta go get that bubble bath started with Oso!
Holly :)

Hello,
Greetings from Michigan!
Just wanted to update you- Lola is doing well and growing fast. She weighs 24 pounds now and is tall, with long legs. She has been averaging about 2-3 pounds a week gain. She is keeping us quite busy- she likes to pick up anything that is on the ground to chew on including shoes, stones, t-shirts, etc. We have to keep her on constant puppy-watch!
She has become the love of our lives though. She is very calm and good natured and gives puppy-kisses to anyone who wants them- even people that she meets when she is walking. We couldn't have asked for a better dog.
Her fence is under construction right now in our yard so she will have an area to go outside in where we can just leave her for a while and she can play. Right now- every time she wants out, we go out with her. This would be okay except Lola loves to be outside! She will go outside and just lay in the grass and watch things for hours at a time! (Remember cold Michigan weather) Brrr!
Here are some pictures- a couple older ones and then a few recent ones of Lola and her new family.
Take care,
Laura

Hi Sherry,
She's beautiful!!!! Her plane was delayed in Cincinnati due to weather so she was an hour late but worth the wait. She was a little nervous and immediately snuggled close when I took her out of her crate. She traveled well in the car drive home and has settled in for the night but not before a brief introduction to the alpacas, they seemed to do very well for a brief introduction, it was getting dark and of course a few pictures to send to you. I I'll let you know how things progress. I'm sure all will be great!

Hi,
Kamali is doing fantastic, what a wonderful puppy, she fits our family perfectly. I took her to my Vet for her next puppy shots & did she ever get a lot of attention. She has the distinction of being the first Anatolian Shepherd in their clinic….everyone had to see her & pet her. Of course she loved the attention, and passed her new puppy exam with flying colors. Kamali is not like any dog I have ever had, no whining or barking….she loves to just sit and observe and look wise beyond her age. Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of being Kamali’s human.

Hello from Tigress and I. She is doing great and we are thrilled with her. We celebrated our shared birthday in February. I had a cake, she had a cheese stick--still her favorite treat! She's such a part of the family that it's hard to remember when she wasn't here. She's just as sweet as she can be and of course she's the most beautiful dog I've ever seen.   This is Tigress at doggy class. We still go to a class that Dr. Creese teaches. It's very informal but she's really learning and loves it. She's definitely teacher's pet!
We walk around the lake at Southern Illinois University almost every day and she loves it--she meets many new people and dogs there. I've lost more than 15 pounds since getting her so not only is she a best friend, she's a great weight loss aide as well. Hope all is going well for you. Kisses from Tigress!
Dee

Hi Sherry,

Just wanted to let you know she arrived safely and we just love her. She's beautiful and so sweet! We didn't get in bed until about 2:00 am, so I'm pretty tired right now. I'll get some pictures a little later and send them. Just wanted to let you know in the meantime that all is good.

Janice

Here are a few pictures of our girl. She is fitting right in with our pack. I can't believe how mellow she is. I'm so used to high strung IGs I hardly know what to do! We have still not decided on a name, but now we are leaning towards Pasha. It helps to have met her and get a feel for her personality. We will probably decide by tomorrow.

'til later,
Janice

Sherry,
Thank you so much! She's adorable! Right now she's laying on the bed snoozing. She did really well on the trip home. Her puppy classes start on August 1st, and the lady who is teaching them is really nice. I'll talk more later, and send some pictures. Right now I am zonked, I had to get up at 4 this morning for work. I did nap on the way home from Kansas City, but that's just not the same as actually sleeping in a bed. Kisses from Tasha, and hugs to you and the rest of the gang!

Hi sherry, This is the most amazing dog! He has the temperament of an angel! He continues to thrill me with how exceptionally well he's adapting to such a different world for him. First of all in case you're wondering why I'm calling him a "dog", it's because I want to tell you his new name which he is getting used to already and it fits him. "Valentin" (vah lyen teen) It means strong, vigorous, healthy in the Russian sense of the name....I got it from a Russian friend. I considered many other Russian names, but this is the finalist. I can call him "Val" for short. I know it's a "v" name like Vladimir, but that's what I liked and he has already helped to heal my heart like a "valentine.' I know it's strange for you to hear a new name, but I hope you like it. Everyone else seems to.
I have had him 2 days now and most dogs would not do this well in 2 weeks.....He has mastered all of the stairs and does it on his own all the time....quick study. Last night I moved his bed upstairs by ours, also his food and water and he did really well, was basically quiet and sleeping with some eating all night. Rudy was up early as he has to be out of town for 2 days, so we were all awake with his packing. when he left I had Valentin get up on the bed with me as I was still tired and he acted like he'd always been doing it. Went fast asleep and loved the comfort and all. So we both had a snooze with Chloe on the floor as her legs are too short for up on bed stuff. Then up and about, both dogs out for potty and checking the grounds out. After I took care of some business, I took him on his morning walk. This time instead of pulling around, he heeled, but totally leaned into me the whole time. It was kind of funny and I don't know where he got that new idea; it appeared like he was attached to me, which I didn't mind.
He is learning to love these walks as he sees and smells so many things. Came in from that and he was ready for another nap. He's eating and drinking well and his stool looks good. Boy, does he have a hell of a bladder! (camel boy) lol
He is starting to follow me around the house and if I go up or down he will sometimes stand and cry; I just say "Hey c'mon up or down here, you can do it" and he usually does. Then I took him and Chloe riding in the truck and we went to the Vitamin store where you can take your dogs in. I had both of them on leash all through a parking lot and by a bunch of stores into the H. Food store. While I got and was paying for my stuff, he was just patient and well behaved....he let people pet him and seemed to know just what we were doing. Then back into the truck and into San Carlos, darling little town with a Thurs. Farmer's market thing and Bow Wow Meow, the pet store where I've been going for years. Of course you can bring the dogs in. The people there didn't realize it wasn't Vlady at first glance. Valentin saw other dogs in there and all that was going on. Everybody made a fuss over him. I'm not entirely sure about really little dogs as I don't know if he knows what they are, but he's on leash and under control of course. It's good for him to see some and he did. We got gourmet carob healthy dog cookies and went to the little park in the middle of it all. There was a Blues Group on the little stage. We sat down on the lawn and he took it all in like a champ. The music, a few other dogs, the booths of produce and people coming and going. Even some little kids and he seemed to calm down about the short people, no growls or anything. He laid on the lawn and just loved watching all the action. How amazing how quickly he socialized in 2 days. He LOVES riding in the truck. No one would ever believe that I've had this boy just 2 days. So then a stop at the Whole Foods store where I left both of them in the truck while I shopped and I came out to a perfectly calm, still in his place on the quilt in the crew cab, and absolutely fine and happy boy. Didn't even get into any of the bags from the dog store. He's getting a real lamb shank bone tonight....yum... so, came in sent them out to go potty and now he's having a big nap next to me. He groans a lot in his sleep. He'll have another walk tonight. I didn't go to B. Creek in the Redwoods today..changed it all to tomorrow, so that will be another great trip for him. Tried to take a few pictures as he was just dozing off, but no good shots or angles.....I'll get some when he gets up later on.
So that's the report to date....pretty fabulous!
Karin & Valentin.......

It is nice to see the mountains again since we've had some moisture to put out the fires.

The day is clean and fresh and awaits the arrival of a pup named Sweetie to take control.

I truly want to thank you for Sweetie, and I also want to thank you for the tremendous support through the past week of my mourning for RajahDog.

What a wonderful pup Sweetie is. I have never experienced a pup so young with so much knowledge and brains. Can't wait until the sun comes up. Your story about the St. Bernard really rings true. What a happy go lucky take anything on confident puppy my Sweetie is. I am truly blessed to have her.

I didn't want you to think that I forgot about ya! I actually filled out the whole application and it ended up not sending because I tried to send you a couple pics of my pooches and the whole thing deleted on me!!! Soooooooo, am going to give it another shot.
Also, my husband and I were talking about getting a pup from you, by the way, I looked at some other Borzoi's on line, and you DO have the most beautiful!!!, anyhow, because we are looking for property up North and we have SO much going on right now we don't think it would be fair to get a puppy just now as we wont be able to spend the time we will need to spend with him/her. I have waited this long, I do not mind waiting longer. I know in my heart of hearts, your Borzis are the ones I want, after seeing others I just don't believe I could settle for less. My husband also agrees with this!!
Anyhow, I am going to get started on that application once again and am going to try to send you a couple pics of our dogs again as well! Thank you so much!!!

Hi Sherry,
Perry is doing great! He decided that the crate was beneath him, and that the bed would more suit his needs. He had a good night, slept between Dave and I. Whined when he had to go potty at 5 a.m.. He has not had an accident, as he knows where all the doors are located. He had a very nice visit with our Vet, who by the way, thinks he is absolutely gorgeous. His first Halloween was uneventful, as he loved all the kids that came by. We can't thank you enough for allowing us the oppurtunity to own such a beautiful dog. We know that our future will be a house filled with Borzois. As for Riley, our Great Dane, she loves him and respects his size. She is so good with him. Thank you again. We will always stay in touch, and keep you updated. We also ran him with the jackalure for about 20 feet, he loves it, and will do well coursing. His future holds alot for him, as he was sent here to do great things. Take care.

He hasn't been with me 48 hours and he is doing great with potty training. He already is going to the door and whining when he wants to go out-unbelievable!
He likes my cat and parrot and doesn't show the least bit of aggression toward them.
He's loving and is following me everywhere and has bonded so quickly.
Kudos for breeding such wonderful dogs.
He's got it all-beautiful, smart and sweet!
He is walking on a lead already, and we walked to starbucks yesterday and he was great with strangers. He got a lot of attention and everyone wanted to know what type of dog this beautiful calm guy was!

Sorry. We didn't get home until 11:00 last night. Her plane was an hour late and it takes about 45 minutes to get her from the plane to the cargo building. All is well. She is so sweet and affectionate. She slept most of the way home last night. I stayed home from work this morning to spend some time with her. She's a joy! Her and the cat get along just fine. They don't bother each other at all. This kids stayed at their grandmother's last night since we were going to be late so they will meet her this afternoon.

I was already invited to the local kennel club's "Meet the Breed Night" next month. They are excited to have an Anatolian Shepherd attend.

I will be getting some pictures of her and will send them to you soon. I am making her vet appointment today. I will keep you posted.

Hi Sherry - I was just reviewing your website and thought I should give you an update on our beautiful Sara. She's a year old now and still doing wonderfully. She is so gentle with the kids and such a giant love. We love her dearly and would consider another one in a year or so for a companion. (Maybe) She is an absoultly awsome pet! thank you for bringing her into our lives.

Hello!
I was looking at your web site and I have to say, you have the most beautiful salukis and Borzois!
I am hoping in the next few years to bring home another dog, and I would like to keep in touch in case you decide to have other litters in the future.
I have a saluki mix right now, and it has been amazing! He is the love of my life! I don't think I could stray from the breed.
Congrats to you and outstanding winners!
Thanks,
Katharine

Sherry,
I hope you don't mind me emailing you, but I just wanted you to know what a fantastic web site you have. Years ago my husband Nick and I and my girls (when they were little) were very good friends with Carol Kubiak. I was looking at borzoi sites tonight and came upon yours. I just wanted to express how wonderful, your site is. To take a dog from a pup and show it's whole life with quotes and photos up to a champion is just fantastic. I have been on the site an hour now and still have alot more of it to look at. I just felt I should send you and email and tell you how wonderful your site is and thank you for sharing. I am so moved by the sayings, photos and just everything about it. Good Luck in the future. Thanks Sue from NJ

Hi Sherry,
Yes he finally made it after many long delays.
He is beautiful and everthing I hoped for. He slept in my arms all the way home. Our two little dogs were quick to make him feel welcome and at home. He will meet the big girl (shepherd) and the horses later this morning. He whined a little last night but settled in quickly. I put his kennel next to the other dogs and he seemed to like that.
He has an appetite!! He wasn't hungry last night but boy oh boy did he eat this morning. Right now he is sitting down watching me type this and wishes to send a kiss and hello.
I think we will call him "Sundance". I will get some photos later and try to send them to you. We have a big day ahead and lots of adventures although I will make sure we take it easy on him. I think he was a hit with Joe and your suggestion to stay with a baby was right on!
Thank you so much Sherry for sending him to us. He will have a wonderful home here.

Sherry, Just a note to let you know that Emma is doing GREAT! We had a terrible ice storm that wrecked part of the fence when a huge limb fell on it. Emma could climb over it. She would get out to and go over to the horses and wander around the yard. She would climb back in to eat and play with the small dogs. She never ran off at all. One of the little dogs could get out too and she taught Emma to bark at the horses. The horses usually ignore the dogs unless they are feeling their oats then they will run. I don’t worry so much about Emma, but the little dog would just be a furry spot in the mud if she got stepped on. My husband did fix the fence yesterday, so Emma is contained again. She will have run of the place once we are around more. I don’t think she will be a problem running away though.

Re: Marco
Hi Sherry,
Sorry for the slow response, it is just beautiful here in Salt Lake  
so we are out and about enjoying our new pup and the sun.
Marco is just simply the most wonderful thing that has happened to  
our family.  We have taken him to play and he just loves everyone and  
everydog.  Our Isabella is even realizing that other people can be  
just as nice as us ( she is learning from Marco),  she absolutely  
loves him.  This morning he was playing with another dog (4 month  
old) and it got a little rough so he yelped out, and to the rescue  
Izzy came over to make sure he was fine.  Isabella wants to play so  
bad with him, but he is a little wary of her because she comes  
barreling at him.  There is this great pic where Marco is just  
sitting and Isabella is this flash of movement.  He is wonderful and  
sleeps almost the whole night, every time I take him out I just say  
"go potty" and he runs over to go pee.  Right now Marco and Izzy are  
laying on the bed behind me, and Marco has the hickups (soo cute).   
We love him so much.  He is the most gentle yet playful thing I have  
ever met.   Temperment  really is everything.
Thank you for our little Marco.

Hi Sherry,
Sundance has been with us just over a month now and he is awesome. Everyone loves him and he is very polite and friendly with all he meets. He went with me to a horse show last week-end and made many new friends including men, women, children, horses and dogs .Unfortunately my camera was broken that day and we only have some very blurred photo's of the event. I placed well up in my class (I stepped up a level in competition) and won a few dollars, Sundance was my good luck charm!
I am impressed with how adaptable and smart he is. He not only exhibits the wonderful Shefaro temperment, he also posseses intellegence, growing confidence and a great sense of humor. He has been easy to train and get along with. My husband has really warmed up to him and they are becoming fast friends with Sundance visiting him faithfully each morning in the home office.
Here are a few photo updates. Sundance loves his horses!
Thanks again and take care. Arlene

Hey Sherry,
I know it has been a long time since I have spoken to you. My husband and I purchased one of your Great Pyrs almost two years ago. I wanted to send you a line, and tell you how much we LOVE our baby Aspen. She has been such a sweet addition to our family. We had a baby this past year and have enjoyed watching Aspen and Audrey play. We had another dog at the time that we bought Aspen from you that recently had to be put to sleep due to major health reasons. So we have been through many changes. We were wondering if around January-February if you would have another litter on the way, or close to flying age. We would like another dog so that Aspen has a 'partner in crime.' But we are just in the 'thinking' stages, and we would like to know what you might have available at that time. I am enclosing a picture of the baby with her best friend "Tu-tu". I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you.

What a great big beautiful boy!  I couldn't believe
how gorgeous he was when he got out of the crate.
Thank you.

He slept all the way back to Grand Rapids.  Meeting
the new family went well although Sammi got in a
territorial snit.  We had two heart-to-hearts and
things straightened out.  Lola was very interested and
excited and then went off and sulked in the backyard.
I had to carry her back into the house.  Both of them
spent the night on the bed, Lola tucked in between us.

Apolo started off sleeping on the bedroom floor but
moved around a lot during the night exploring his new
home.  By the time the ladies had to go outside at
night, things had settled down.  Apolo caught on to
the nighttime snack immediately and thought it was a
good idea.

Right now he is sleeping at my feet.  He shadows Wilma
and me as we walk around.  The ladies are back on the
bed and have been showing their gracious side.  He
likes the big water dish in the backyard:0)  

Thanks again.  I can't wait until he grows into his
feet.

Hello again. If I am lucky enough to get a new family member from you or not, I just wanted to say how great it is to talk with another animal lover that places the welfare of the animal over a dollar amount. With so much press about the horrid conditions that many "breeders" trap animals in, it is reassuring to
know true animal lovers are still out there, helping to complete families
with companions. Rather the job is on a ranch protecting a herd, or with a
family alerting others if there is something amiss, it is great to find a
place where the puppy is loved before it arrives. You should be highly
successful as "to those that much is given, much is expected", you exceeded
my expectations.

Dear Sherry,
Miss Sascha turned 11 months old today. We have been moving back to CA and are now settled.
She is of course, gorgeous!
She loves the ocean and the smell of wild things in a regional park. We have a house with a back yard but she is mostly an inside dog.
No problem with her and the 4 cats. We traveled across the county staying in hotels together. What a circus!
We are totally enjoying her...
Good bye for now,
Take care.
Elaine

The pups made it home safe and sound. I have placed them with our 10 goats and they are getting acquainted with one another. Two of our goats are still baby does and they really enjoy playing with their new protectors. I will have to send you some pictures as soon as get them processed and scanned. I can't wait until the boys come home from school. They are going to be in love. Thanks again!. We made appointments with our vet as they are booked until next week.
Take Care,

Oso arrived right on time, and was the hit of the doggy flight. Everyone wanted to play with him. We arrived home before 11 (our time), he met his Corgi sister, and then proceeded to explore the great room. Thanks so much for packing toys and blanket. He ate a bowl of the food you packed, drank a bowl of water and then settled down with my husband for a doggy love session. I will send pictures as soon as my camera is up and running. He has a wonderful personality and is going to be a great addition to the family. The puppy who came for CHRISTMAS!
Will send more later.
Thanks again.

Hello, This is Katie and Ted from Salt Lake City, Utah. We just wanted >to thank you for our beautiful boy. He just turned one year yesterday ( Lucy and Flipper were his parents). He is very strong and handsome, loves everything and everyone in the whole world, just wants to be friends with everyone. He has brought joy to my husband and me, but most of all our four year old female borzoi who now has her best friend. She is always aware of where he is, always making sure she can see him. He is very gentle and dopy, he loves kids and puppies and can be overwhelming to both. Marco has the most beautiful long nose and is always searching for mischief with it, we call him noser. Every morning he wakes us up by jumping his upper half on the bed and cuddling his head up next to us. Anyway I was just thinking of you and wanted to thank you again for giving us marco. He is so strong and healthy and happy. Take care, Katie and Ted

Hi Sheri~
It's been about 3 1/2 years ago now when I came to get "Indy" (Indira)...a pyr/anatolian mix pup from you. She is as happy, sweet and healthy as can be :-) Now that the puppy and adolescent days are far behind, I'm getting the bug to bring home another. Happened to check your website to see what you might have...and I see that there are some male pyrs listed. Wondering if they are still available and which ones? Would love to come and get another pup from you again...I can't go wrong with you! I love little Chico Blanco too, but his price is a little far out of my budget right now...what a cutie though :-)
 Can't wait to hear back from you. Hope all has been well for you. I have a home with a fenced in front and back yard now, so lots of room to romp and play for all...it's great! Blessings, kim

I hope you are feeling much better. Vanya is settling in very well and is very pleasant and a lot of fun. Our 10-month old cat, Frosty, likes playing with her. I took the attached picture today, and you can use it on your web page if you want to show how well your breed interacts with other pets. These two play...if the cat isn't running after Vanya, it's the other way around; then they play with the same toy--Vanya likes to steal it from Frosty.

Dear Sherry,
Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday, ongoing back problems (mine) have laid me low for a little bit. What a truly great dog this one is. Both my husband and I are quite pleased. He seems so at ease in his new surroundings. He got to meet all the residents at the house and all went very well. My main malinois (who thinks she is queen of the world) thinks he is too sexy for his shirt. (remember that song?) Anyway, I couldn't be more happy. I spent a good part of my day yesterday, laying low to let my back heal up, and he laid right at my feet.
We are totally in love....
Thank you so much!

Howdy!
Oh absolutely, what a nut he is. I am still working on the concept of "sit" but since I am not correcting or pressuring him, once the idea is implanted I think he will be great. I must send you some kudos for temperament. He is showing himself to be a first class clown, and a mooch. All of which are just fine. If I can't find enough for him to do he has started inventing games, the sign of a very bright mind. Most of my malinois are also very clever critters, so the hallmarks are evident.
Looking like we may show in Mid-May. Not sure yet. I would really like to have him fit to do lure coursing at the June show in my area. It is a fun run, but I can't wait to see him go. Might also be the right arena to see if he is showing any hesitation, as you had mentioned previously about calling him back.
All is good. Just wish it wouldn't snow anymore. We had a lovely light dusting on Saturday. Never dull!
Good luck with Blanco.

Hello,
First I would like to say reading your web page made me feel very good. I love your approach to these wonderful animals and striving to make sure they are in homes that they will be loved and cared for properly. I get the feeling that it is not about selling your dogs but caring for them. We are a small boer goat farm in Oklahoma. We have a herd of about 32 goats right now and have about 15 does pregnant and due early June. We have not have any problems with praetors yet but I know it is only a matter of time and with kidding right around the corner I really have been trying to research the best LGD for our family of both goats and children. I have a 7 and 5 year old and want a dog that I can trust not only with my goat babies but my human babies too. I have leaned towards the Pyrenees but I am reading up on the other breeds too. Is there any that are better with small children, other dogs and cats as well as the goats. We have several cats that like to visit the goats along with 3 dogs that live with us. I am not much on buying animals I have always taken in the strays or adopted from shelters. I am not big on the whole purebred thing when there are so many unwanted animals out there. This is one case I feel the purebred is worth the money. So all that being said can you send me some information on the puppies you have or older trained dogs also. If there is any other information you need about us or our farm please feel free to ask.
Thank you for your help and information.
Thanks
Tracy

Sherry,
JD is wonderful. When we got home he wasn't afraid. It took about 30 minutes before JD and Kara were in the backyard running. When I went to bed Kara just jumped on the bed. JD wasn't sure. So. I picked him up. It took a few minutes for him to get settled. Then he laid his head on my arm. When I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, JD and Kara were laying with legs on top of each other.
This morning JD was great. I had to go into work for 4 hours. I brought them. They were playing around my desk. It was wonderful. JD travels very well.
I will send photos either tomorrow or Monday.
I can't thank you enough for JD. He is an angel.

Not to waste your time, but I've included 2 photos. One(1979) of my father, Buck his horse, and Darius, Dimitri and Pasha, going for a ride post-bath. All are in heaven now. The other(1982) is Darius and Suma (also in heaven), our adopted greyhound, and me.

Hi Sherry! Long time. Photos are coming, I promise. (I’ve been waiting to get the whole “family” (kids and dogs) together at once for photo. Most of the photos so far are just of Wink
Ok, the “full” name is still up in the air. Some kids agree with Wink (and all are calling him that) while others would prefer “Boris” or some such. Even “Boris Winkosaurus” is proposed! (That’s one skinny dinosaur dog !)
He is such a GOOD dog. He’s way more calm than I remember my previous Borzois being. He is also, well, just “dignified,” never nervous or anything. Not overly obsequious or fawning at all – very “well adjusted.” He plays and runs a lot, even chasing the bigger dogs around like old buddies.
He is very happy at our home; getting near constant attention from all species. He is very secure around bigger dogs – even cats. He plays with all the dogs as rough as he wants (He’ll squeak kind of if they get to be too much for him - and they back right off since they’re just playing too) He isn’t scared of anything ! (Remember I was a little worried about the “boisterous” dogs, Lucy and Bingo. Well, they even roll over on their backs, like puppies, to play with him).
Although my wife (Rae) keeps him with her almost all day, he’s only gone on the floor three times ! (and 2 were the 1st night; 1 yesterday – oh well). What an easy dog to housebreak! He’s well on his way. He lets you know when he’s gotta go and seems to have no inclination to go inside.
Anyway, all’s well. I just can’t tell you how much we think of him and the obviously very wholesome environment in which he had been raised before he came to us. (That’s you!)
Thanks again ! (and I’ll be sure and shoot some good photos this weekend),
Billy

Dear Sherry,
I am really very impressed at how very nicely socialized they are. Our 11 yo male GP tolerates them (they walk underneath him), but one of our females is not delighted (no biting, just growling) – I think she does not want to be their mommy ;))
We have names! The one on the left is JJ (aka “Jaws, the Great White Dog”); he is the larger of the two. The one on the right is Poli (aka “Polar Bear”); he has distinctive facial features and curls his tail..
The only down side is they may have been cross-bred with felines; they are able to climb up the side of the fence in the interior pen inside the doe pen. Normally, after playing with them for an hour or so, they sleep for quite a few hours – but then it is “let’s figure out how to go find those guys to play some more!!!”.
Thank you for two wonderful dogs! george

I was thrilled to see Lily's babies as you know how I love her. Phineas is darling too. Keep up the good work. The kids send their love. Kiska talks now and has a deep "rah,rah" man voice. Valentin has a higher pitched, very expressive voice and sometimes I can get him to say "Ma Ma", for real. They are back in bed together taking their first nap of the day. It's wickedly hot everywhere except for our coastal domain, 25 degrees cooler.....yes!

Will do with the ground level shots. She is a wonderful dog. We bring her inside to play a lot. She is an outside dog but I want her to get use to coming inside too. Xena and Ladybird are inside/outside dogs. Luna will not come in. We have to physically pick her up to bring her in and when she is inside you can tell she is very uncomfortable so we don't bring her in anymore. We just let the dogs come in when they want and go outside when they want. Xena likes to come inside at night now...I guess because she is getting older or something. They like to stay outside majority of the time. They have a lot to explore and mean evil deer to keep away! :) hehe
I am so glad I picked her. She is really really doing wonderful. She loves to get in my kids sand box with them and watch them play. I am getting her rabies vac next Friday or sat and I am going to buy her shots this weekend so that I have them in my fridge for when she needs them. She already knows her name too. I can't believe that in about 6 months or so she will be about Luna's size. :)

Got home this morning at 1 am. Whew! We were stuck between San Ant and Austin for a little longer than 4 and a half hours. The whole highway was just jammed due to a wreck I think. All the people in the neighboring cars loved The Bomber. He mostly just slept. Finally got through at 130 pm Saturday.

Bomber was very stoic and at first. I think he knew everything in his world was about to change and he was not excited. Then, somewhere around Waco, he tried to nurse on my arm, started eating and drinking everything in sight, and he has been very happy ever since. We stopped several times and each time he seemed to know it was a bathroom break and each time he stayed right at my feet.

He is mad right now because he is in the laundry room rather than in the bedroom or out side. Will send pics hopefully tomorrow. I still am adjusting the outdoor play pen.

He gets to meet his herd later today.

Thanks for everything

Hi Sherry,
I haven't sent you pictures in a long time.  Thought you would enjoy these of
Joon with a cria only 4 hours old.  She is so protective of this baby.  We are so
happy with both Benny and Joon.....they are simply amazing.

Sherry,
A friend of ours holds a Lawn Tractor Rodeo each fall. We took Apolo and > Lola with us. As you can imagine,  they were quite the hit. People kept stopping and asking about them and  if they could pet them. After awhile, people would just put their hand  down as they walked by to pet them on the fly.  Of course, the two of them loved it. My favorite image was Apolo staring  down at a little two-year-old girl who shrieked with laughter every time  he poked her in the face with his nose. Unfortunately, no camera.  Tom

Hello! First off we wanna say we love your site! My family and I are moving to our farm in December and would love a Great Pyrenees puppy to add to our bunch. We are gonna raise goats and chickens and a couple of Clydesdales and would love one of your babies to help us look after them and our 2 little boys. Our oldest boy thinks he's a cowboy already and just loves all the pictures you have posted. Please let us know what you have or will have available in the near future including your prices.

Subj:KB'S Einstein/Lola pups

I am the breeder of Lola and have both her parents. Lola is out of champions whose pedigrees go back to top winning greyhounds(AKC) Einstein is out of a top racing sire (NGA) He has been lure coursed just 5 times and has his SC and a recent Best in Field. Lola has been shown and is close to obtaining her UKC championship Both Lola and Einstein live at Shefaro and are well cared for. Their pups look to be very very nice and also very well cared for. I feel it was a good breeding. Bringing in an NGA greyhound does bring new blood to a limited gene pool and can produce very good pups who can compete in conformation or coursing events sucessfully. I am proud to have bred the beautiful Lola and think her pups are very very nice. Hopefully some of them will be out competing in coursing and conformation. Thank you Mary Jane Peterson

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Our girl is doing great. We now
call her Polly, and she has settled into a routine of guarding goats at night and
sleeping and hanging out in the yard mostly during the day. It works out great because
the kids and my wife have grown to love her, and they like having her around the
house during the day. As soon as evening rolls around she takes off back to the
goats. We have not lost another one since we got her. She has becaome a priceless
addition to the family. I sent a few pictures of her hanging out in the backyard
today.

Hi Sherry,

I know I promised pictures of our girl a long time ago. Well, you're finally getting some. It is difficult for me to get pictures of her, cause when she sees me, she becomes my shadow or second skin, and she is too close for me to get the pics. She is one of the most wonderful dogs I have ever had the pleasure to meet. We just love her so much. 6 years old and tough enough to run with the big dogs (Danes) yet gentle enough to hang with our little rescue Chihuahua. Anyway, my daughter got these pics of her in the snow.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and know that your baby is very loved and spoiled, and we hope to have her with us for a long, long time.

Regards,

Anna-Marie Stewart

Sherri;
Just wanted to let you know that Jasper is settling in just fine! His first night here he figured how to get out of the goat pen and he spent the next couple of days running around the place with 'Redd' our big chicken of a farm dog. Once we were able to run a new line of fencing inside the goat pen he has been inside ever since. The goats have gotten used to their new big brother and even when they are let out to roam(when I'm home) he doesn't stray far from them...
He went to the vet today. I had him examined, a fecal done, and microchipped. He weighs 12 pounds and his fecal was clear. Dr. R couldn't get over how calm he was on the exam table! He just laid they and watched everyone. He didn't even blink when they did the microchip! LOL, Katy carried him into the vets office, but Doc made a comment that she probably wouldn't be doing that when I take him back at 5 months for his Rabies.....LOL
Thanks for our new family member,
Irene

Hey that email from the night nurse with the borzois, chihuahua, bull mastiff, etc. Was classic. That is the web stuff you should read. All the negative stuff is from sad, sorry sacks. You are great at what you do. I have read all kinds of good about you. Focus on that and it all will hopefully go away! Unfortunately there is good and bad everywhere and on the coming years it will only get worse with the economy. My son just was involved in a business deal where he lost everything he had in a week including his college funds. Both my husband and I looked the deal over and it seemed straight up, but a scam with no recourse for him. It's all live and learn but particularly now.

She just whines to go out, so we only missed the cue once in the last 24 hours. She is a great dog. When I put her in her crate for the night, she started to wimper, so I started telling her a bedtime story about a little Saluki who went on a big adventure. She fell asleep! She woke up about 1:30 AM to go out. BUT, she did not want to go back into her crate. When I closed the door she started howling! So, just like a baby crying, into bed she came and slept through the entire night. For our male shih tzu, it was love at first sight. Lily is still getting used to her. We haven't let her have many cat encounters yet, but that will come. We already adore her. I don't know if there is such a thing as a "Saluki Slave" tattoo, but I guess I should have one! Also, she loves just being carried around, so we will have to have walking classes soon. Hope all is well at your end and will keep you updated on her progress. WE feel completely bonded to her already. And, she is doing the same--runs to see us when we come into the room, plays, pounces. She is great for the soul.

The trip was easy. He slept a lot, when we stopped he let me put a collar and leash on. He actally only had one accident in the car - but I was prepared.

He is actually doing well with my three dogs. He's following them around - trying to do what they do. I have an appointment with the vet in three weeks for the next shots. He looks like he's going to have a cute personality.

Hi.
Little Tory is doing just fantastic! He is eating real well and still sleeps a lot too. He is getting more curious to explore more around the house and yard etc.
He slept all night last night without a mess and came into my bedroom to nudge at me just as it was time to get up after the alarm went off, this morning.
The first night I think he wanted to come into the bedroom too, out of curiosity, but I heard Baylee growl at him. When I go to bed they are both in the living room in their places and as always, as he has always done, in the middle of the night, Baylee comes in and gets on my bed. Baylee did not growl at him this morning. Will be interesting to see what tonight brings.
He spent his first all day, in their pen (this is a 6' high chain link large dog run, with their two houses filled with hay. I peeked at them right as I was leaving for work and they were both just lying there, very content. I gave them a "trial stay in the pen on Sunday and no problem". Food available all day in his dish and a big bucket of water. I couldn't wait to get home tonight to see how he was doing!

He is truly a sweetheart and probably in a few days I will work with him on "sit" "stay" and some "leash training". He is kind of "cat-like"
He still has no odor at all.
Oh, these California fires are SO TRAGIC! We are getting the haze and smoke from them here in Colorado.
Hugs and kisses too, from Dotty/Tory

Well, Tory was "allowed by Baylee" to share the bedroom last night. When I awoke Tory was beside the bed. I feel he will make it up on the bed sooner than later because he puts his chin on the edge and looks at it, when Baylee is up there.
When doing chores tonight he ran and ran and spun around in the grass and even ran up to a neighbor guy who wanted to see him over the fence. Then he wheeled around again and ran and ran. He ate a good dinner just now and now they are both asleep.
What a special guy he is!
Talk later.

Dear Sherry,
It has been a little while and we have all been very busy but I thought I would give you an update on or activities. Freckles and I went to a four day show in Santa Rosa, CA recently and except for the fact that the day before we left he broke a toenail, and was consequently only shown the last two days. We got a point! Okay I know it is not much but at this juncture they all count.
We are now getting ready for a regional specialty in October. A possible chance for a second major and who knows? Freckles is so regal now his friends and family call him "his majesty". I think he even has a little fan club! So I am hopeful as long as he stays nice and sound.
I was wondering about some trimming issues and will send you some recent photos if you would be willing to help us out. I hope this finds you and all your doggy friends well and happy. Freckles sends a shout out to his brother and his new family.
Love toyou

She was quiet throughout the trip, alternating between smelling everything, looking out the window as best she could from her small height, and taking naps. At one point in the trip she was on her back so I rubbed her tummy and like all dogs, she loved it. Most of the trip from Kerrville on was rainy and so I had to pay attention to the road more, but she seemed not to mind the lack of attention. By the time I got home, it was dark and raining so I put the puppy in a small kennel with Pro and got the goats in the 2 other kennels. I went to the house, but my curiosity got the better of me and I had to check on the puppy around midnight and the rain had stopped so I found my camp light and headed out. When I got to the barn, I was dismayed that Pro and the puppy were at separate ends of their kennel. I noted that the puppy was polishing off the food that was left in the 2 bowls. Pro looked very nervous being in the kennel so I opened the door and put out 3 more dog biscuits for her as a treat. I then opened a can of dog food and kept the puppy in the kennel with the door closed as she ate at least half a can! Then I reopened the door so the puppy could reach Pro if she chose too.
This morning when I went to the barn, I was so gratified to see the puppy lying beside Pro. They have bonded. Pro would not let me get close to her this morning though. I sat down holding the puppy and cooing at her. I am wondering what will happen with my semi-wild Pyrenees and my human-friendly Pyrenees. Will Bliss become more wild or will Pro become more domesticated? Or will they keep their separate natures? I milked each goat and got all the goats out of the barn, having put out alfalfa hay for them in the small outside pen. I offered Pro the first milk and she polished it off in her usual fashion. Then I put the puppy in a kennel and gave her the big bowl for her milk and she drank it greedily. I let Pro out and opened the door for the puppy. At first, she was reluctant to cross the sill of the barn opening, but I went out and coaxed her out. She came out and then noticed Pro lying a ways from the door and happily ran to her. They exchanged nose smells and the puppy lay down beside her.
I was very worried about the goat and puppy acquaintance. I did not want the puppy to be butted harshly and thus making her afraid of the goats. But the amazing Pyrenees breeding made my worries silly. The lead goat approached her warily and the puppy did not panic or growl or bark. She stood quietly letting the goat approach her as much as she wanted. The male came up to her with his hairs raised, but once again, with the puppy making no aggressive moves, the goat just smelled her and went away. The same happened with the 2 young females. Now the last hurdle, Ms. Bully. I was so frightened again, but amazingly, the puppy even mollified her with her benign manner and Ms. Bully just smelled carefully and sidled off. Now the goats were again feeding at the hay, Pro was lying quietly and I was about 10 feet away. The puppy was between us. She looked worried as she did not know which "stepmother" to go to. She came over to me for a bit and then went over to her canine stepmother. She stayed there longer making play gestures.
When she came back to me, Sammie the cat was there, and for the first time, the puppy barked and growled. Her nature smelled danger in the feline smell. She would not get near me and the cat.
I realized the top half of the dog house that is supposed to click together but that the goats always manage to separate would make a wonderful little house for the puppy. So I put it in the barn and put the remaining pan of milk under it. Hopefully it will work to provide the puppy nourishment as she wishes. The opening should be large enough for her to get to. I will check on that throughout the day.
They are probably all in the barn as I type this because there is a slow drizzle now. And I am confident that all is going well there. I closed the gate so the goats and Pro will only be in the small pasture so the puppy will hear the movement of the animals throughout the day if she does not attempt to follow the herd and, since I fed a good amount of alfalfa, the herd will lay around the barn most of the day.

Hi Sherry

Diamond is such a joy! She is the sweetest girl, so playful and full of energy! She really enjoys blazing thru the backyard and jumping for her toys, playing tug of war and is teething really well with all her chew bones and various chew toys. She gets along very well with Sid and even with my mom's 2 cats when I bring her over with me. The first few nights she whimpered a little, not much and she still loves the Oscar Mayer weiner song, thanks so much it works wonders and it will maintain her memory of her Grandma too! And forget her bed, she sleeps with me in my bed, I think she likes the body heat and even gets under the blankets. She's getting so tall already and she's so elegant, the way she moves is amazing, so beautiful! More of her fringe is coming in and Alison always gets comments from everyone when she takes her walking and running. Seems like the people out here never seen or even heard of a Saluki and they comment on how pretty and unique she is. At first she wasn't used to the cooler weather, but now she's pretty used to it, she has many sweaters and I'm thinking of some doggie boots for winter, what do you think? I bet she'd hate that, but maybe I should try.... She won't be outside long in the winter anyway, just a bathroom time and a quick run around the yard probably.

Thanks again so much Sherry for making this possible, we love her so much! I'll get you the photos and will definitely keep you updated on her progress, milestones, etc.

Kisses from Diamond
Kathy

"Steve" did very well.  We stopped a couple of times but he was pretty  
shy.  He did find a water sprinkler to sit in and cool off.  He did  
well meeting the "rest" of the family.  The youngest dog wasn't  
thrilled to have him here.  I think it will just take a little time to  
adjust.
I just came home from my volleyball match and Jake had given "Steve" a  
bath.  He is beautiful.  He spent the night with Jake last night  
inside.  No accidents.  He seems to be adjusting very well.  I will  
send a picture soon.  Thank you for all your help.
Laurie

Hi Sherry,
...Kiya has become a little spitfire in just a few short days. She now owns the house. She was sleeping in the kennel with William the Bulldog earilier today. She is fearless! She is spoiled spoiled spoiled. It didn't take long. She is tolerating her albon without difficulty. She eats all the time now. She is a nibbler just like Juliet. A bottomless pit. The girls did not have chips. But they do now - thanks.
She is a snuggler and sleeps with her head across my neck at night. I love it!!!! I usually wake up to someone chewing on my ear every night around 1:00am. That is her potty time. Then she is back to sleep until I wake up for work...

Peace from Tracy and the girls.

I stumbled across your web site this morning while placing a dog that was
left at my boarding facility on hoobly. I have loved Borzoi and have
dreamed of owning one since I was a teen. I am now 37 and have not had the
opportunity to own one of these beautiful dogs. I just wanted to thank you
for the time you put into your web site. It is the most inspiring web site
I have ever come across. My nephew is currently serving in Afganastan, and
the support that you give the soilders is greatly appreciated. I also have
nubian goats so everything on your site was very personal to me. I own and
opperate a pet boarding facility in Stanwood Michigan and I think the
Borzoi ten commandments is a great inspiration and should be in every pet
caring facility just to remind their owners how precious and dedicated
their pets are to them. Thanks for the inspiration and motivating thoughts
you have given me, and when the time is right for me to add a Borzoi to my
family I will be contacting you. God bless and keep you. Sincerely Julie
Creighton
