2010 Performance Event Calendar

I've updated the Event Calendar page with the current 2010 ASFA lure coursing and NOTRA oval racing schedules. I'll have other performance event schedules as soon as they come in. You can not only view events by your geographic region (USA only, sorry), but when you bring up an event you can "add to my calendar" to put that event on your local Outlook or iCal calendar. I still recommend double-checking locally with the race secretary as the event gets closer, in case there are changes that didn't make the national schedules.

Many thanks to the various club secretaries for providing this info and keeping borzoi.org up to date with changes.

Forever Borzoi

If you're looking for a book that will tell you everything about how your new Borzoi will act around the house and in town, Forever Borzoi is that book. From a pup's antics, to the athletics of youth, to the strength of an older Borzoi, this is the book that tells it straight from dozens of Borzoi owners. Many color pages of photos are included in this wonderful hardback book.

See Being Borzoi for ordering info.

Animal "Rights"

I encourage any pet owner to be extremely vigilant about the politics of animal rights. My philosophy is pretty simple:

  • If you want to help prevent cruelty, give your time or money to those that actually do that. Do your research on the organizations you support.
  • If you don't understand an animal-related activity, don't start a campaign against them based on your ignorance. Learn about them. Very few people own pets for the purpose of hurting them.
  • If you are a business, associating yourself with an activist group is guaranteed to alienate a significant segment of your customers and shareholders.
