Today, September 7, 2017, I enjoyed seeing my borzoi breed friends & mentor at the Central NJ Hound Assn Show in Bridgewater NJ. Much fun getting caught up, & esp enjoyed the borzois of all ages. So many new puppies! And other puppies are becoming so grown up!

On Saturday, Sept 9, same show grounds, North Branch Park, is the Borzoi Club of Central NJ Specialty show! Planning to enjoy a great Specialty! More members & borzoi than ever.
Best of Breed was awarded to a Boy nearly still a pup, and one that I had the joy of watching grow up, since he is a nephew of my Jelly and I was previous welcome to visit (but no more…..), the stunning young Majenkir line dog, Bibikov You Know My Name, “Hunter”, owned by N24, sired by one of N5’s stunning stud dogs. I went over to congratulate N24, but when I did, Hunter jumped out of his skin, standing up on two legs and reared, placing his front paws on my shoulders with great enthusiasm – and I let him. I hugged and kissed him, and told him what a good boy he was and how much I loved him. He was so happy to see me. What can I say….. Animals are so true, so pure…… they either like you or they don’t, they don’t have artifice about it. I was so happy for him that I stayed to watch him in the Group, but unfortunately, he did not make the cut. But it was a joy to sit ringside and see him in what will be his first of many Group classes. Hunter has a great show career ahead of him. He defeated many specials in the Best of Breed ring that day, and I was overjoyed for him.
