Tutta is a result of an outcross breeding, as her dam was a Russian import. We knew that after the outcross we would be going back to her sire’s line. We are ever so grateful to Mary Fisher and Pat Toy of Mariza Borzoi for allowing us to use Glacie. Gracie excelled in substance, beautiful sidegait, and soundness. Both parents had dark eyes, dark pigment, and perfect tails. Glacie was 10 years old at the time of the breeding. We are so happy with the legacy he had left behind in his puppies. This was a fantastic litter. Seven puppies, seven champions and seven specialty or TSE winners. A dream come true.
