After exhibiting and breeding gundogs since 1973, we acquired our first sighthound, a Borzoi named Boris (Nakora Ermolov) in 1984. I found I liked their laid back attitude to life much better than the 'hyper' gundogs but wanted something more 'lap sized' and less hairy so started looking for a Whippet.
I was introduced to Sheila by Alex Mackenzie which proved to be a turning point in my life. I bought Dessie and although she was a 'showman extraordinaire' as well as a wonderful mother, suffice to say, even if she had done nothing else in her life, she is the best dog I have ever owned or probably ever will. |
