News from Jan-Feb 2022

It has been a long time since I have written show news - Covid has disrupted so much in all our lives. But now we are back out there and let’s catch up! In 2020, Kibo was able to capture the #1 NOHS Borzoi title. He is now up to the Silver level in NOHS and is a GCHB. He now has 2 GCHB offspring, 1 GCH, and 3 CH, plus 2 more with points. His son, Hawk, is currently out with a handler this year, due to the fact that I will be spending extended time travelling this year. Hawk is doing well, and as of the end of January is #4 Borzoi, breed system. Daughter Mandy is going to try coming out for lure coursing - and see if she can get some points toward her coursing title. another daughter, Liza, will be out looking for her GCH title. Hawk and Mandy will also be showing in brace, when offered. Hawk’s 2 young kids from his litter with Brooke are also doing well - Glen with 9 points, one major and Blair with 9 points, both majors before a year of age. See everyone at the National in April!
