In our eyes, Barbos is the pick of the litter.  He has the solid and correct structure of a functional hound, fantastic open sidegait, soundness and nice breed details, including black pigment, high ear-set, small ears and two black haws.  Barbos made the trip to Ukraine in 2013, when he was just 6 months of age.  He did attend a couple of shows in the United States before his move and is AKC-pointed.  He gained his Ukrainian championship in just a handful of shows and even won the group as a youngster.  He is a dog with a sense of humor and is an extremely smart male.  Barbos came back to the United States in late 2017.  He moved in with the Firebird Borzoi pack and made himself comfortable there right away.  He gets to play with toys, look at all the wonderful birds (pigeons, chickens, ducks) and be best friends with fox terriers and a Mexican hairless!  He gets along with everybody and makes everyone laugh!  Barbos’ show career in the United States resumed with a bang — Reserve Winners Dog at the BCOA National Specialty!  Barbos is sound with a good tail, full dentition, scissors bite and dark eyes and black pigment – even gums as well as two black haws.  He is health tested with all normal results (heart, eyes, thyroid and DM N/N).  He sired a gorgeous litter in Ukraine and a fantastic litter in Russia before coming back.  Hopefully, he’ll have some pups here, too!

Barbos’ achievements include:

• Reserve Winners Dog, 2018 Borzoi Club of America National Specialty, judge Shirley McFadden (Svora Borzoi)
