Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations on Borzoi: Called in America Russian Wolfhounds in a Series of Letters to a Friend
This little book not only gives a striking picture of the wonderfully beautiful Borzoi with more accurate historical data of his Rus sian environment than has probably appeared elsewhere, but it contains an enlightening description of his use, capabilities, and limita tions. The author has studiously avoided the suggestions and pitfalls of some of the earlier importers and fanciers who claimed an impos sible combination of speed, endurance, and courage for the Borzoi. He has expended more time and energy in fixing a correct type of this picturesque hound than any American, and probably more than any one in Europe, bar ring a very few in Russia.
