Bred by the Russian aristocracy to course wolves across the open steppe, the Borzoi is a sighthound of great elegance and speed. In Borzoi - The Russian Wolfhound, Nellie Martin sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.
First published in 1931, Nellie Martin's account sets the Borzoi's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.
Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for Borzoi owners, breeders and breed historians.
This edition features:
- Traces the origins and history of the Borzoi.
- Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard.
- Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management.
- Restored from the original text and illustrations.
