Rusalka Whippets and Borzoi

Description
As a child I had Lakeland Terriers. I saw a Borzoi at the Ox Ridge Kennel Club Show and knew that some day I’d have a Borzoi of my own. I acquired my first Borzoi in 1979 and was soon “head over heels” for this most beautiful and aristocratic of breeds.
I spent several years researching the breed and obtained my foundation stock. The first Rusalka-bred litter was born in 1983, and although I had a small-scale breeding program, I've had the good fortune to have owned or bred USA National and/or Regional Specialty Best In Show, Specialty point winners, Sweepstakes, Award of Merit, and Hound Group winners. Three Rusalka-bred Borzoi completed the requirements for their ASFA Field Championship.
In 1998 our first Whippet joined the family. Our first homebred litter produced three champions, two of whom are multiple group placers, owner-handled. I've turned my attention to working with this versatile, medium-sized sighthound and anticipate many years of enjoyment with the Whippets.
