[RagTyme Boxers]

BIG MAJOR- 5 POINTS if he hits it .. !!!! ( both days..)

[xcolbi]

WOOHOO! GO ZUBIN! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

[cassiesmom]

Borzoimom, where is the show? Please take a mess of photos for us! Could you give Zubin a hug for me? (And Hottie - gently - and the ladies too.)

[borzoimom]

The show is in Fredericksburg Va.. CAN'T WAIT!! Bring on the band.. :band:

[Doberman's]

Woo hoo... :D:D Go Zubin!!!!

[Areias]

Make sure you get a picture of him when he wins BIS. :)
(That reminds me of the movie, Best In Show...they should have filmed you "the pet forum addict". *giggle*
Good Luck!

[borzoimom]

Good Luck!
If he wins BIS, there wont be any pictures- I would have fainted!!! lol ( But yes- we are planing on getting a current show picture. I love the one with one of the judges, because of the grin on the judges face- that one is my favorite- but its time for one more up to date. He has really changed since then..)

[tahlee50]

What can I say.....GO ZUBIN!!!!

[GreyhoundGirl]

OOO! soo excited! It's coming up quickly, eh? Go Scooby!

[applesmom]

Don't keep us in suspense. How did it go for Zubin at the show today?

[borzoimom]

I had to take Galina down the other direction. No show today. I am disappointed but this has to take place with months in planning for her breeding.
I could not get to the show and have him covered to stay over night. ..( ie fridaynight to saturday night was the problem) . Vagreys offered to take him, thursday to friday but we were not able to make sure he could stay with my handler friday night to saturday.. I never did that before- but we all tried. Where Galina has to go, then Zubin to go is on the opposite sides in mileage from each other- and traffic is really bad on the two seperate places.
Zubin goes tomorrow ... He looks great! Go Zubee ... GO! With all the money invested in this breeding already- she took priority... His class is at 10:45 so put Zubee- dooos IN PRAYERS.. He looks great!

[applesmom]

That's too bad. Good luck tomorrow!

[borzoimom]

part of doing a litter.. and thank you.. He looks great... ( trying not to kick dirt clods from not showing today- but Galina comes first right now.. Its been too long in the process not to... )

[borzoimom]

:swearing: Got a dusting of snow last night- no big deal.. Drove to the show- CANCELLED!!! So- Zubin got to get out of the van, do his business, back in the van, and them home. One of the ladies I saw had two smaller males ( in open... arghhhhhhhhh.... ) and she said she did check the AKC site that morning, and no word it was cancelled. I just looked when I got home, and its listed- but not a time they posted it... There wasnt enough to cover the grass, and the grounds looked great.. I AM MAD I COULD JUST SPIT! ....

[KatzNK9]

Oh wow! That just stinks! Sorry!

[borzoimom]

I can not believe that one! I have been to shows before with light snow- as long as the rings are clear and the roads- they do it.. I have been at shows with driving hard rain- high winds- blowing the you know what out of the tents- the show goes on..

[Borzoi mad]

So sorry to hear this Borzoimom, if that was the case in this country every show or at least most of them seuld be cancelled LOL. The weather here has been sunny and dry but still very chilly and we have the Hound Association of Scotland Championship show next wee, and are crossing finger toes and everything else that the weather stays nice, They won't cancel it though even of it doesn;'t but as you know it is no joke having groomed bathed and got them all ready only to have them up to their knees in muddy grass and fithy before you get in the ring.

Sorry again for what has happened but yesterday the mum to be had to come first and then for the show roday to be cancelled just beggars belief.

[borzoimom]

A friend just called me that was also supposed to show there today. She said that since they put in a snow advisory last night it probably why.. I told her the weather men are more wrong than right- they should have waited IF they DID cancel it last night. She said it was so little, she did not even think to check herself.

[applesmom]

That's amazing! Were they in the process of dismantling the show grounds? If not, the show is possibly just postponed and will probably be held later today or tomorrow. I can't imagine them tearing it down and then redoing it at a later date for just one show.

Imagine the number of people who are affected and and the costs and loss of revenue involved in cancelling a show at the last minute! Unbelievable!:confused:

Oh applesmom- I am just sick!! The sign said " cancelled- " and no update is listed on the akc home page of cancelled events for a reschedule.. Having that many borzois at a show is almost unheard of- unless its a speciality- even then- its still alot! I hope they reschedule it- but no word yet. ( I keep checking the akc site every 5 minutes.. lol.. There was so little snow, zubin barely even got his paws wet in the high grass to go potty! I could not even get a book so see who would have been there.. They had the ring areas roped off so you could not see how much was taken down.. I hope you are right!

[applesmom]

If the sign said cancelled that means it isn't going to take place at all. That club and the superintendent are going to take a lot of flack from this decision.:eek:

Yea the sign said cancelled.. We always have weather issues on the east coast- I fail to see why it was necessary to do so..

[xcolbi]

I'm so sorry Bmom. :(

(BTW, I noticed you are now 1 post away from 1,000! :))

[Ceph]

oh dear, I am so sorry Bmom! This must just bother the heck out of you!

[cassiesmom]

Oh, Borzoimom! I am so sorry! I'm with applesmom - the impact of cancelling a show at the 11th hour - huge . Could you give Zubin a big hug for me, because he's already a winner in my book.

[GreyhoundGirl]

Oh no! (((HUGS))) Zubin will have plenty of chances to win, don't worry! (((HUGS ZUBIN)))




















(((Hugs Hottie backstage)))

[xcolbi]

Yes, sending plenty of hugs for you and Zubin! :)

[borzoimom]

Zubin wants to know why we drove so far just to get out and go potty... uh mom- we could have done this at home...

[xcolbi]

Poor Zubin. He's so confuzzled! Lol. :)
:grouphug: BIG HUGS FOR YOU TWO!

[borzoimom]

"I dknow ( he says..) and dno one was there to tell him how handsome he was"... sniff sniff...

[Ceph]

did you happen to get any pictures of his handsome grooming O.o

[borzoimom]

yea I did- but they are not very good.. Our camera is not as clear as yours.. but he shows well.. The one he was doing the borzoi " huff" like a bear "chaf" they puff their cheeks and open their mouth.. These pictures do not do him justice- his skirt is down on the hock, and doesn't show his pretty chest hairs, or even how long the irredescent rib coat looks. He has a very silky coat..and he was too close to my husband so his neck is too upright as he really wanted that cookie.. lol..

[xcolbi]

He's so gorgeous! :wubsmiley:

[borzoimom]

The pictures arent very good.. oh well... have to get better ones.. lol.

[KatzNK9]

He looks stunning ... too bad he didn't get a chance to show it off. That just stinks!

[skunkstripe]

B'mom I couldn't resist...
what do you think of these?
(not sure about the color, I made it lighter and sometimes the colors get altered)

[borzoimom]

MUCH BETTER! There is a silver tinge in his coat in his skirt, and the white is like snow! THANK YOU SO MUCH! The pictures are also more in focus too. Thank you sooooooooooooo much! :cheers:

[skunkstripe]

I cheat with my picture all the time (the wonders of Photoshop and similar software.....) :D
Zubin really IS a handsome boy!

[xcolbi]

Zubin:heart:


LOL. :p

[borzoimom]

Thank you.. we scheduled the next show for may 19th. I do hope its a good show ( uh anyone know the weather report that far away??? lol)

[cassiesmom]

Borzoimom! In the second one - is that a bark I see?? Zubin, sweetheart, don't hold back when you tell us just how much you want the treat your dad is holding! Look at how tall he is! HUG, HUG, HUG, HUG (Oh, sorry, I don't want to mess you up) smooths coat back into place

[borzoimom]

lollllllll no- its like a uh "chaf" like a bear would do- like they puff their lips and open and shut the jaw fast.. " chaf... chaf"... Like what a bear does to tell you they are around..

[cassiesmom]

Borzoimom, where is the May show, is it a long drive for you? Also - I love the Borzoi portrait on the wall in one of the photos! I still think you should be in House Beautiful.

I haven't been sprung OR scorched!

[borzoimom]

Its may 19th. The painting on the wall is taken from a photo and called a giclee..

Things learned from Borzoimom’s dogs

You can say a lot without ever making a sound.
It’s okay to show both your serious and your playful side.
Life is too short to be lived without enthusiasm.

The Borzoi belongs to the Hound Group in the AKC. A Borzoi is a sight hound.
The Borzoi used to be called the Russian Wolf Hound.
They are very intelligent and also graceful.
This is not a fragile dog (though it might look that way)... remember the encounter between Femka and the bear.
A Borzoi should never be permitted to run without the appropriate leash.
The coat can be straight or it might be wavy. It does require coat care.
The Borzoi is increasing in popularity as measured by the number of registrations.
You might think a Borzoi mom's litter should be small because of her fine bone structure, but that is not necessarily the case. There is a tough cookie under the delicate exterior!

[borzoimom]

Oh wow!!!! Arent you just great! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! :cheers:
