Dam: Brusnichka Nevskaia “Bruska” (Russian Import)
Owned by Irina Terra & Kristina Terra, Zabava Borzoi

When w were planning this breeding, we wanted to blend the generations of Russian-bred field-titled Borzoi with the unmistakable ring elegance possessed by Mitzka.  We were hoping to get such fine details as good pigment, small high-set ears, and tight feet.  Both parents had great tail carriages.  After doing some extensive pedigree research, we found that some important producers appear more than once on both the Russian and the American side son the pedigree.  They are: Eng Fin Ch Keeper’s Michelangelo (UK), Int Ch Polongai Porchai Krasnoje Selo (Holland), Gotz v Silberhof (Germany), as well as littermates Xantoff Wergei and Xakor Wergei (Germany).  We feel that the two resulting puppies from this breeding inherited only the best qualities from their parents and this outcross worked well for us.  The two resulting puppies had striking looks, confident personalities, and lots of energy.
