2011 National Specialty - Lawrence, Kansas - April 5-9, 2011

General Specials CRITIQUE by Amy Sorbie:

Select Bitch: This mostly brindle girl was very pretty. She had extreme reach and drive on the go round. Her side gait was one of the very best in the entry. She had gently sweeping curves and good angulation front and rear. She did not have quite as much leg as the BOB bitch on this day.

Select Dog: This was an imposing gold and white boy impressively presented. He had nice size and substance. He was particularly strong in his front assembly under the hands, with tremendous fore chest and a well laid back upper arm. He did not use his shoulder quite as well on the move as did the BOB girl or the BOS dog on this day.

Best of Opposite Sex: This was a handsome blue brindle and white boy, one of my favorite colors ever. He was in great coat and condition. He also had nice size and substance and felt great under the hands. He had a beautiful face and expression with soft, dark, expressive eyes in a narrow back skull. He was completely sound down and back and moved powerfully around the ring. He was not as strong in the pasterns as the BOB bitch on this day.

Best of Breed: This Fabulous cream and white girl has everything that I look for in a Borzoi. She had the combination of structure, breed type and all the details that make Borzoi so special. She was a stand out for me from the minute she walked in the ring. I came into this assignment with my ideal Borzoi in mind and this girl fulfilled all my expectations. She was beautiful on the stack; all sweeping graceful curves each part flowing into the next. She had a front assembly that allowed her to stand over her shoulders properly. This balanced nicely with a well angulated rear. All parts in symmetry and proportion without being overdone. She never put a foot down wrong coming and going and she was smooth and light on her feet on the side with balanced reach and drive that was consistent every time she went around the ring. She had a lovely head in profile as well as head on with a melting intelligent expression. To top it all off, this lovely lady flaunted all the details such as, teeth, ears, feet, tail set and carriage, all correct and to standard. I found her spectacular and a very happy choice for my top winner at this National Specialty.

DOGS, 6 months and under 9 - CRITIQUE by Amy Sorbie

This was a lovely young, well balanced tri colored puppy. His head and neck set flowed nicely into his shoulders. He had good return of upper arm and proper fore chest. At this age he used himself respectably while moving around the ring.

DOGS, Novice - CRITIQUE by Amy Sorbie

This cream and white boy was very pretty with loads of type. He was in immaculate coat and condition. He moved well coming and going as well as around the ring. He was a strong representative for the novice dog class in the winners ring.

DOGS, Bred by Exhibitor - CRITIQUE by Amy Sorbie

This black masked fawn and white boy exhibited lovely type and elegance and was strongly in the running for Winners Dog. He had a stellar rear with a low hock and the perfect amount of angulation balanced with the front. Every part flowed nicely into the next to make a very complete picture. He used himself well on the side but was not quite as extreme as the WD or RWD on this day which seemed to be more that he was not cooperating with his handler than anything else.

2nd Bred By-exhibitor Dogs: I rarely comment on placements other than first but I felt that this dog also needs recognition. This was an obviously young gold and white dog who was just edged out by the first place dog. This dog showed lots of potential in many areas and I would be interested to see him with a bit of maturity.

DOGS, American Bred - CRITIQUE by Amy Sorbie

I liked this self cream boy very much. He is living proof of my theory that on a really good quality Borzoi all colors are truly beautiful. He was very smooth with flowing lines on the stack as well as on the move. He was quite competitive in the Winners Dog class.

DOGS, Open - CRITIQUE by Amy Sorbie

This dog was the complete package for me. He was a beautiful color in a rich self mahogany brindle. Not an overly large dog, he exhibited the proper outline, balance and proportion. He was balanced on the stack with each part flowing into the next. He had good angulation front and rear without being overdone in any way. He stood over his shoulders well. He was completely sound down and back and had the same smooth effortless side gait every time he went around that never let up. To top it all off her had great details such as a nice head eyes, and ears and a low tail set and carriage.

This little red and white girl was cute as a button and in full puppy bloom. She had nice agulation front and rear with balance and a good amount of leg under her for a puppy this age. She was sound and moved quite well on the side. She had loads of potential and likely has a quite promising future.

This cream and white girl had lots of body and bone but still exhibited lovely type and elegance. She had a pleasing outline with correct top line and neck and shoulder placement. She was a powerhouse of mover on the side. She out-moved the group of really fantastic moving puppy class winners, on this day, which is what won her the Best Puppy award.

BITCHES, 12 months and under 18 - CRITIQUE by Amy Sorbie

This was a white cutie pie with a beautiful head and expression. She was well angled both front and rear with a tremendous layback of upper arm and nice length of second thigh with well let down hocks. She was very sound on the down and back and used her shoulder really well on the side enabling her to cover lots of ground while moving around the ring.

BITCHES, Novice - CRITIQUE by Amy Sorbie

This lovely cream and white girl had the exquisite pretty type that just makes one step back and sigh. She was well put up in great coat and condition without being sculpted. She was very light on her feet and floated around the ring effortlessly. She had an almost ethereal essence about her. She was not quite as imposing on this day as the WB but did push her for the win.

BITCHES, Bred by Exhibitor - CRITIQUE by Amy Sorbie

This elegant, statuesque sable and white lady could definitely do what she was bred to do. She was a good sized substantial girl who was at the same time, quite feminine and curvy. She had a beautiful flow to her with proper length to leg proportion. She was sound and had a slow easy stride that gave the impression that she could trot all day if needed. She was a stand out for me on this day, and though pushed a bit by the RWB, was the clear choice for Winners Bitch.

BITCHES, Open - CRITIQUE by Amy Sorbie

This was a good sized, substantial brindle and white bitch. Her standout area was her movement all around. She was completely sound down and back and had reaching movement that propelled her nicely around the ring. Her moderate but sufficient angulation was in good balance and proportion and she had more length of leg than did many of the entries in this class this day.

CONFORMATION JUDGE'S GENERAL COMMENTS by Amy Sorbie:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of BCOA for this once in a lifetime opportunity. I was honored to be chosen for this assignment and did everything I could to deliver my honest and unbiased opinion of the each dog exhibited. Thank you also to all the exhibitors who trusted me to handle their beloved Borzoi. It was an experience that I will never forget.

I felt that overall the male class dogs were stronger than the bitches with the exception of a few outstanding ladies. I have noticed this trend as an observer over the last three years at the national specialties. Being a "boy dog" lover myself, I am very proud and delighted to see the quality of our males improving. Coming and going was a bit dicey in several of the entries. There were also some teeth problems in the younger generation. Though I know we allow for more length in bitches, I did feel that many of the class bitches were pushing the length envelope and thus losing the proper length to leg proportion. One of my biggest concerns for our breed is the loss of hock flexibility which allows the dog to drive off the rear creating powerful balanced movement. I believe this is essential for the smooth, effortless, ground covering side gait that is one of the important characteristics of Borzoi. I was pleasantly surprised to find many good shoulders in the entry, another thing I think we have struggled with in years past. There were many exhibits with well placed shoulders, balanced with nicely laid back upper arms. With a correctly placed shoulder assembly, comes the proper amount of fore chest which was also evident. There were many beautiful heads and lovely eyes and expressions, some of which melted my heart.

The stand out classes for me were the 9-12 puppy dog class, the winners dog class, which literally gave me goose bumps, the Veteran dog class, which got me misty eyed, and the specials bitch class. There were so many beautiful specials girls that it was difficult for me to excuse any of them and do what I needed to do. All the winners of my veteran classes were "in it" until the end by design not by virtue of their class category. All were nice examples of the breed and very deserving. Best Veteran was one of the most difficult decisions of the show for me.

Puppy Sweepstakes Dogs, 6 months and under 9 - CRITIQUE by Lorrie Scott

My 6-9 month puppy dog class started the morning with 5 youngsters. 1st place went to Bon Ami Picture Perfect: a lovely irish marked tri boy who had nicely laid back shoulders, moved very well, and was extremely balanced and well bodied. 2nd place Jubilee Katushka Wallstreet Tycoon: another nice youngster who moved well and is nicely angulated. 3rd place Kinobi-Norjon's Keen Ice: a nice male with lovely topline, moved well. 4th place Jubilee Oil Baron At Val-Thor: a taller male with moderate angulation, just not quite the fill in the forechest as the others. He was having a good time.

Puppy Sweepstakes Dogs, 9 months and under 12 - CRITIQUE by Lorrie Scott

The 9-12 month dog class was a challenge with 18 present. Usually males at this stage are quite gangly, and this class had quality throughout . Overall this class was quite impressive. I know spectators thought I'd never place this class. Ultimately 1st place went to Horse and Hound St. Malo At Jedawn a very balanced dog, light on his feet with effortless movement. His teeth were large. Lovely head and expression as well as nice veining and a long neck. 2nd place went to Sylvan Tigrato: a more massive well boned white and brindle boy that is very close to 1st place in quality and movement. Balanced, angulated and moved well. 3rd place Horse and Hound Tip Your Hand: a nicely angulated male, lovely topline and moved soundly just a bit shorter coupled than the dogs placed above. Nice head with veining. 4th place (I later saw he is a littermate to 1st and 3rd place) went to Horse and Hound Chartes who did not always cooperate with his handler. He has proper angles, good withers and he moved nicely.

Puppy Sweepstakes Dogs, 12 months and under 15 - CRITIQUE by Lorrie Scott

The 12-15 month class 1st place was awarded to Po Dusham Sylvan Scrimshaw: a lovely male with very nice shoulder layback, good depth of brisket, lovely expression and wonderful topline. He was shedding and having a bad hair day that made no difference. This boy covered the ring with nice fluid movement and was my selection for Best Opposite Sex in Sweepstakes. 2nd place Avalyn Silver Dragan: a nicely angulated and well put together borzoi with strong pasterns. Moved well. Nicely boned and bodied. 3rd place Elance Black Swan: a taller puppy who move well with a bit more topline. 4th place Katz Ironman Ira: another well boned male with lovely head, nicely placed ears, and good muscling. Just not quite the side gait of the others that placed.

SWEEPSTAKES JUDGE'S GENERAL COMMENTS:

Being selected to judge sweepstakes for the Borzoi Club of America was an honor and an experience I shall always remember and cherish. I want to thank every exhibitor for showing me their promising puppies and lovely veterans. I want to express my gratitude to Karen Mays for all her expertise in ring stewarding and keeping the day running smoothly and timely. Thank you to the show committee for all their hard work putting on the lovely venue. The decorations were incredible. As usual, Barbara O'Neill as show secretary did another incredible job of putting it all together. It is a big task and yet she makes it all work.

The overall quality of the entries were very nice, in some of classes I could have used a few more ribbons. I was able to find dogs to place who were similar in movement – side gait that was not extreme or exaggerated, that was smooth and effortless, driving from the rears, and fronts that reached out from the shoulders. On the down and back I like to see some convergence towards the center line. This is not always possible as puppies will be puppies and often made it difficult for me to see their true movement. I was looking for dogs whose parts all came together whether standing or on the move that produce a balanced and correct dog. I found that nearly all entrants had correct bites and there were a few with missing teeth. I also found the depth of quality in the males greatly improved.

Some of my observations on areas to watch are:

Fronts and shoulder assembly – It is very hard to correct poor shoulders and upper arms and equally so to keep. I found shoulders lacking in proper placement and return of uppers arms too short. Fronts need to reach from the shoulder and not the elbow. Fill in the front and slightly protruding prosternum was also slight or lacking in several entrants.

Hindquarters – A few with poor muscling over the loin and narrow pelvis. Several with high hocks and/or narrow hocks or hocks not flexing/extending (sickle hock).

Eyes – The dark eye our standard calls for contributes to the soft expression that is so important to the Borzoi type. I saw several dogs with light brown or yellow eyes. The same with the light brown noses and eye rimming. Although none of my placements or decisions were based on pigment it was something I took note of. To me dark means black, dark to medium brown.

I must also mention proper conditioning and muscling after all this is a breed meant to run and course game. Coats can hide many things and this is one of those. Muscle tone is essential for proper athletic ability and movement.

When it came time to chose Best In Sweepstakes and Best Opposite I looked at the line up and thought gee I can only pick two. Final decisions were made on overall balance, breed type and some splitting of hairs. My Best In Sweepstakes Horse and Hound Picardie At Jedawn just put it all together never putting a foot down wrong and having all the qualities I look for. Best Opposite in Sweepstakes Po Dusham Sylvan Scrimshaw a handsome young male with the same qualities who was just outshined by the girl on this day.

Judging the veterans was a joy and also a struggle. Many of these dogs I have admired through the years and it was hard to believe that enough time had passed that these beautiful borzoi were now veterans. More than once I fought back tears. Several of the bitch classes the decision for the winner was very difficult.

Futurity Junior Dogs, 6 months and under 9 - CRITIQUE by Robin Casey

1. Nicholai Laral El Dorado - This curvy, substantial puppy boy was well balanced front to rear and moved very well for one so young. A handsome chiseled headpiece was his crowning glory, along with a long arched neck. The future should hold nothing but exciting possibilities for this baby.

2. Aruzia Moonstone Of Rivervue - Beautiful width of front with well laid back shoulders, well set on neck-more heavy headed than first place with good movement.

3. Kinobi Norjon's Keen Ice - Less angulated and more moderate topline than first and second but used himself well. Beautiful color and expression.

4. Aruzia Bright Moon Over Tahoe - Nice bone, good width, strong neck and underjaw, more topline than his higher placing brother . Good movement but a bit loose coming at you.

1. Sylvan Tigrato - A big, powerful, substantial boy with fabulous width, strong masculine headpiece, well set on neck, lovely shoulders, moderate topline with HUGE, but correct powerful sidegait. Clean coming and going. His powerful reach and drive brought him to first place. My Best Junior Dog.

3. Horse And Hound Chartes - A solid, lovely boned male with great sidegait and good balance front to rear. This boy should have an exciting career in the ring.

4. Windsheer Da' Ya' Think I'm Sexy - A handsome dog showing great potential. Gorgeous headpiece with expression to die for. He enjoyed himself immensely. A tad shorter in the upper arm but used himself well.

4. Avalyn Draganheart - a sound substantial boy with a heavy headpiece but suited his substance. Good movement and he moved out well once his confidence improved.

Futurity Senior Dogs, 15 months and under 18 - CRITIQUE by Robin Casey

1. Islehaven Camano - My Best In Futurity

2. Aria Zorya Dark Shadows - A tall, substantial boy with bone balanced to his size. No loss of symmetry with this young male. He moved cleanly with immense power. A fabulous job well done by his petite co-breeder/owner- handler.

3. Anotak Polar Ice Cap - Good substance, pleasing head, strong sidegait, moderate topline and rear angle, beautiful coat. A study in white!

4. Anotak Frozen Reign - Slightly more refined than his litterbrother, in third place. This boy had more topline but was having too much fun. Once settling down, however-used himself well.

1. Jedawn's On With The Show - Fabulous outline with angles front to rear. Dark pigment with lovely expression. Plenty of reach and drive. Good future for this boy.

2. Gryffynn's Aeyrie Flanncladh - A dog with more bone than first place and a more moderate topline. Great length of tail, with proper set, lovely bend of stifle, he was only slightly out moved.

3. Attaway - Kinobi Fogerty Creek -Pleasing but heavier headed with kind expression than the higher placing dogs, great bone and substance. Moved out well but would prefer more topline.

1. Nickolai Maviam Dark Triumph - Oodles of curves with this young male. Those curves flowed onto the next. A bit tentative starting out moving but he quickly strutted his stuff and earned his way to the top spot with his total package.

2. Avalyn Sabre Dance At Odyn - Strong rear drive with striking rear angulation. A bit more upright through the shoulder but good reach. A heavier head than I prefer but this boy holds much promise.

3. Windrift Tahoe Cool Luke - Of beautiful style with a masculine but elegant headpiece. This boy exhibited good power but a bit loose coming at me.

Futurity Junior Bitches, 9 months and under 12 - CRITIQUE by Robin Casey

1. Horse and Hound Paimpont - A nicely balanced baby girl front to rear whose down and back was smooth as silk. Fabulous front and rear extension which should go hand in hand with correct side movement. This feminine girl also exhibited a lovely headpiece with soft expression. This girl was ready to go and it showed!

2. Horse and Hound Picardie At Jedawn - Just as lovely as her first place littersister. Her reach and drive made her stand out and the minute difference in front reach made the placements. It could well have gone her way on another day.

3. Sylvan Sterling Gazelle - A very striking spotted silver girl with fabulous side movement. Clean on the down and back with power galore. This girl gave the higher placing girls a run for their money. On another day and with more self confidence-she could easily have taken the class. I was pleased to see she was more comfortable in the ring with each day's judging.

4. Horse and Hound Bretagne At Scheremetjew - A delightful young girl who was enjoying herself immensely. Very much like her sisters 1 and 2 but more refined. She moved like a dream! Very consistent litter!

Futurity Junior Bitches, 12 months and under 15 - CRITIQUE by Robin Casey

1. Po Dusham Sylvan Risque - A young lady who is a tall bitch with good bone. No symmetry lost here! This girl was the powerhouse in the class around the ring. Effortless, powerful sidegait with a clean down and back. She never let down and gave her handler and myself everything we hoped for!

2. Majenkir Bookstor Timeless Glamour - Aptly named. This young lady WOWed me with her BLACK, BLACK pigment, dark eyes and expression. One could drown in her eyes. Her outstanding shoulders, width of front and good movement, she easily took the number two spot.

3. Avalon Oxata Ruidoso - This girl showed an exceptional headpiece with elegance-beauty with refinement. More slightly built than other placements, she never the less proved a more refined bitch is no less a powerful mover.

4. Majenkir Bookstor Vintage Glamour - Like her sister in the #2 spot this lady had width of front, lovely shoulder placement, rear angles and while more curvy than her sister, not quite as much front reach on the day.

Futurity Senior Bitches, 18 months and under 21 - CRITIQUE by Robin Casey

1. Ravenna Pia Petunia - This outstanding girl took the class for her overall balance front to rear. Exceptional shoulders. Feminine with substance. Floating sidegait and who gave my eventual Best Op in Futurity a run for the money! Exquisite bitch!!

2. Gryffyn's Aeryrie Boudicca - No question about it, this little lady was right up there on overall balance and sidegait. I would have preferred a bit more topline. I see a bright future for this girl.

3. Jedawn's Show Girl - Lovely outline. Good sidegait. More up on leg that the higher placed bitches in the class but never disappointing. Moved a bit close in the rear.

4. Jedawn's Show Them No Mercy - While more moderate in topline than her sister #3, this girl had her front well placed underneath her and a bit less spring of rib but good movement.

Futurity Senior Bitches, 21 months and under 24 - CRITIQUE by Robin Casey

1. Zabava Ostrov Casablanca - All the right curves in all the right places. With soundness and elegance placed this exciting girl in the top spot. While slightly longer through the loin than her competitors, she was not to be denied with her power and grace!

2. Nickolai Maviam Dark Legacy - This is one curvy, well put together bitch! While shorter coupled than #1, she left no doubt she was hot on her heels for the top spot in the class.

3. Crysalis Endless Night - This lovely lady exhibited classic English style with a beautiful chiseled headpiece, lovely high set, rosed ears, well arched neck flowing into her shoulders. Slightly less drive than 1 and 2 but plenty of reach.

4. Ostrov Zabava Contessa At Islehaven - A young lady with shorter length of leg and a more moderate topline- she nonetheless used what she had well. Good width of front, forechest, substance and well let down hocks. On another day you might well have seen some placements change.

FUTURITY JUDGE'S GENERAL COMMENTS by Robin Casey:

Words cannot express my deepest gratitude to the breeders who honored me in asking me to judge this year's Futurity. Easily, one of the most fabulous times ever for me in our breed. Thank you so very much.

Overall, I found the dogs to be of good quality, with very few exceptions. With that said, I found just a few dogs I considered to be less than adequate according to the standard, most adequate and more than a few that truly were exceptional examples of the breed.

Our old "nemesis" of lack of return to the upper arm seem to be the fault I found the most. A few dogs with no bend to the stifles and weak pasterns. I'm thrilled to say that I saw very little of a disturbing trend I felt that has been occurring in the last few years - longer bodied, flat toplines with lack of length of leg! I noticed few missing teeth and those that were missing teeth were not some of the larger ones. Ears for the most part were exceptional and I noticed no dog that I felt had low set, heavy, pendulous ears. Rarely, any gay tails. Kudos to you all!! I would have liked to have seen more light, effortless side movement but most entries were adequate. Something important for us all work on: Those small but important traits of our breed -Beautiful Roman finishes and lovely, low set hocks!

BEST IN FUTURITY: Islehaven Camano

This exciting young male came from the 15-18 month dog class. As we all know this is an age where our breed tends to hit the "teenage" geeky stage. Not so with this boy! He entered the ring every time and took command with his elegance and power. Exceptional on the move, he moved with purpose and grace. Curves in all the right places, great depth of chest, long arched neck-set well on, a saber-like plumed tail. He filled my eyes. Well trained and exceptionally handled.

BEST OPPOSITE SEX IN FUTURITY: Auroral's Jasmine Oronzova

This lovely lady also came from the 15-18 month class! A feminine yet powerful bitch whose grace on the move never failed. This girl's outline was accented with well let down hocks, correct bend of stifle with balance front to rear and never did she disappoint. Her beautiful head and expression held her closely in my mind.
