My Mom got a new DOG...not a doodle, but a...

BORZOI!!!

They looked into the Gentle Giants rescue since they live in the neighboring town, but I think it was too expensive ($900 for a rescue!)

So my stepdad through some other website found one in a shelter a couple towns away. She's 6 years old and her owner was ill or getting too old to give her the care she needed.

Heeeeere's Katrina!!!




Meeting their other senior Squiggy


Apparently she's very mellow


My mom is floating on a cloud! She's so in love and doting on this dog =) It's hilarious and sweet as she didn't used to be a dog person. She's reading up on the breed and is at work now aching to get back home and walk her new baby.

Oh, she looks so soft! Congrats to your mama on her new baby!

[ClarkP]

Yup, that's the breed. They used to be called Russian Wolfhounds for us ignorant Americans. ;-)

[Tamara & Giada]

Oh, so sweet looking. Never heard of this breed.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Ah, she is one of my relatives...a member of the Russian aristocracy! Back in Czarist days, only the nobility was allowed to own Borzois. I have a gorgeous bronze sculpture of a Russian hunter with his Borzois...they are such elegant dogs! Congrats to your mom on her gorgeous new (BIG)baby!

I wonder if her hair is as soft and silky as it looks?!? Conrats on your new "little sister"!

[Adina P]

LOL at skinny doodle...she is trimmed for some reason...she's supposed to have longer feathery hair under her belly.

[Marcia Stevens]

Well....We could pretend it's a skinny Doodle..! How sweet! She looks adorable....

[Adina P]

If only she didn't live in California...I want to meet her dog so much!

[Holly Paterniti]

WOW!! She is a beautiful dog (even though she isn't a doodle.....LOL). It actually looks like a Greyhound too :)

Katrina's coat looks so silky! What a wonderful new addition to your family. She looks so graceful.....what a pretty girl :) Congratulations!
