Summary: The Purpose of the Breed
Comment: Anyone who thinks of this breed as a large fluffy couch potatoe needs to find a copy of this book and read it. There is a world of insight into the ORIGINAL way this breed was hunted and what it was used on. The photographs of many of the Russian dogs in this book are specimens that look as though they could walk off of the pages and into a show ring today. If you really want to know the how and why of this breeds introduction into the US, you need to read this book. A must for breeders or serious fanciers.

Summary: The bible of Borzoi books
Comment: This book was written by Joseph Thomas, the man who singlehandedly introduced quality Borzoi hounds into the United States. These bloodlines have been perpetuated throughout the decades by sincere breeders, and the dogs carrying them are winning in the show rings and coursing fields of the present.

The book though small, tells the purpose of his visits to Russia to the great hunts of that time. He was dissatisfied with the quality of borzoi seen in the US and on the continent, and traveled to Perchino and Woronzova kennels to bring breeding stock back with him. There are a few photos of early hunting Borzoi, of correct type, and a standard of perfection in use at that time. No borzoi breeder should be without a copy of this book which is such an important part of Borzoi history.
