Aria Borzoi
The 'John Wayne' Litter
MBISS Ch. Chataqua's Valimir of Kyrov, SC x Ch. Kirov Pyxis of Bartok, GRC, CGC, TDI
"Breed the fastest of the prettiest to the prettiest of the fastest...."
On September 27, 2003, Ch. Kirov Pyxis of Bartok, GRC, CGC, TDI (ASFA pointed, NOTRA pointed) whelped seven puppies out of MBISS Ch Chataqua's Valimir of Kyrov, SC (ASFA pointed, LGRA pointed), in a mating we feel is the essence of the statement above. Irate at being left behind when Rita left for GIT's first LGRA meet of the Fall season, Pix took her frustrations out on Richard, waking him from a late morning nap to spend the day assisting in her labors. Pix gave birth to six girls and two boys - who immediately began racing around the whelping box in honor of the occasion. Sadly, we lost the lightly spotted boy on Sunday night, but the remainder of the litter is thriving and growing quickly. All puppies will be the same copper penny red as their mother, or perhaps a shade deeper.
Val and Pixie combine strength, elegance and speed into one package - two animals who are the essence of our standard, both proven in multiple venues.
Valimir is OFA Hips Good: BZ721G53M-T, OFA Elbows Normal: BZ-EL14-T, OFA Thyroid: BZTH00094/68M-Pl, and Heart Ultrasound Normal. Pixie is ultrasound Heart normal (OFA normal BZ-CA131/31F/C-Pl ), Thyroid normal, and CERF normal.

This litter is all about splitting hairs. The strength of their Kirov bloodlines shines in their lovely movement and perfect timing, and the elegance and athleticism of their elegant bodies. Now noticeable are Valimir's contributions - great rear drive and lovely head planes. As we had hoped, the girls are remarkable in their similarities, with slight variation in amount of body, rear angulation, ear- and eye-sets. Sean is a lovely blend of both parents - Valimir's substance, muscularity and expression; Pixie's long, elegant neck, tail, and tight ear-set. All the puppies have Pixie's sweetness, keeness and intelligence - combined with Valimir's mischievous streak, they're never still and always into trouble!
