Conformation
Eve came to us as a finished champion at the age of 2! She was a fantastic dog to learn on as she never misplaced a paw!
She finished her Grand Championship quickly winning multiple majors and owner handler placements!
Some of those wins include:
- 2019 BCGO Award of Merit
-2020 BCGO BOS Specialty winner
-2022 BCGO BOS Specialty winner
-2024 Select Bitch at the Lone Star Borzoi Club from the Veterans Class
- Multiple Best of Breeds at All-Breed Shows
She made 3 rounds of cuts in 2021 at the BCOA National Specialty under judge Michael Canalizo. She is just a few points shy of finishing her Bronze Grand Championship and she may occasionally be seen in the Veteran's class at specialties from time to time!
Lure Coursing
Eve has won multiple Best of Breeds in both ASFA and AKC lure coursing. Eve won 3rd place at the 2019 ASFA International Invitation in a big open class. She's got a couple of points towards her AKC Field Championship and all of the placements needed for her ASFA Fch. Even as a veteran, Eve still loves to get out and run, even if she chooses to creatively course the field to her own delight.
Motherhood
By far, Eve's favorite accomplishment was raising her beloved puppies. She was bred to Pico (GCHB DC Sylvan Pimlico CDX RE BCAT SC CGCA CGC ROM-C) for her first litter, resulting in a singleton puppy, Freebie. Her second litter she was bred to Obie (CH Konza Hello Darkness SC) and she blessed us with two more puppies. What she lacked for in quantity, she made up for in quality and all 3 puppies have been exceptional examples of Borzoi. From here on out, she will get to enjoy watching her grand puppies grow up reminding them who the queen of the house will always be.
