(2012 BCNC SD, 2012 PSBC SD (1), 2012 PSBC(2)SD, 2008 BCNC WD/BOW, 2006 BCNC Best In Sweeps
Dam: BISS Am Ch Zabava Monoceros ROM-C* “Strelka”
(2012 #1 Dam, 2007 PSBC BISS, multiple BOB winner, 2006 PSBC TSE BOS)
Wow, what a truly amazing litter this was. It featured a World Champion, a Top Ten Borzoi, seven champions and five specialty-award winners. They all have flowing side gait with powerful drive and excellent reach through the shoulder, good tails and tail carriages, soundness, good substance, excellent depth of chest and good spring of rib, well muscled loins, high ear sets, and beautiful crests of necks. These qualities are found throughout the pedigree. Both sire and dam were specialty winners and came from litters with deep quality, with many specialty winning and top-ranked relatives. These fourth-generation Zabava pups are some of our brightest stars. This litter was whelped and raised on Lopez Island by Patricia Wiseman of Ostrov Borzoi. We rotated many of them through Zabava and love every single one of these guys!
