 Basic July 31, 2007
"The Complete Borzoi" by Lorraine Groshans and any of the BCOA publications are much better than this book. This book is very basic and is for the rank beginner. It is a fun read and a good start, but hopefully anyone interested in this wonderful breed will also read more. If you are looking for veterinary medical info that is professional in nature, you can try the Veterinary 5 Minute Consult. This is for the very serious dog enthusiast.
Now I know why in the 1950's our grandma told us Communists were bad. April 3, 2007

I think this book is very good. I like the history of the dog's domestication, and I especially like how the Borzoi was developed in Russia.
When we were children back in the 1950's our parents and grandparents drummed into us to hate Communists. Of course, we went along with the instructions because we were children. By the time I got to college, in political science I was taught that Communism was just another form of political structure.
The poignant account in this book about the woman who had her hired man take the remaining noble Borzoi to be killed before the Bolshevics got to them gave me the real reason for hating them. The Bolshevics must have been totally useless persons if they slaughtered Borzoi when looting country estates of the nobles...
A good read January 2, 2005

This is an excellent book for someone looking to get into the Borzoi showing commuinity. Not for someone who just wants a pet Borzoi or for someone who already knows a lot about Borzoi (unless you want to do a bit of english pedigree research). I'm just getting into showing Borzoi and I found the book very informitive.
This book goes into a fair ammount of detail on conformation, bloodlines, breeding, showing, and genetics. I did happen to find the photo-manipulated pictures a bit of an annoyance though.
"The Complete Borzoi" by Lorraine Groshans (a fairly difficult book to find) and any of the BCOA publications are much better than this book. But, it's worth reading.
 Practical advice with a humerous approach August 11, 2001

I found this book full of useful practical advice and knowledge. I am new to this beautiful breed and use this book on a daily basis. A serious book but sprinkled with little gems of humour. Loved it.

I was amazed at the lack of knowledge expressed by the writer of this book. Down to things like according to the book a borzoi has hare feet at the front and cat feet at the back.......only if your dog is walking backwards would that be true! I'm surprised this got published.
