My first Borzoi Lamac's Majenkir Sharif - "Sharif" (standing) Sharif helped me get my feet wet in the show ring. A gentle giant who was a wonderful ambassador of the breed. Sharif was acquired from the Lamac/Majenkir Kennels. Kesjana's Twilight Escapade - "Twilight" My companion and empress of the house for many years. Her silly smiles never failed to brighten my day. Twilight was acquired from Kesjana Borzoi. Both were Borzoi Club of Delaware Valley Drill Team Dogs. Both lived to the fine age of 12 years and we were blessed to have them.  I still miss them so.

"Chance"

Ch. Krestovi Real Chance, FCh.

Ch. Majenkir Artizan x Ch. Krestovi Kristina

Chance was poetry in motion.
A strong, athletic male and my first Field Champion.
Watching him run in the field was true beauty!

Chance was the "keeper of the gate" at Cool Run; who to the day he left us,
at the age of 12, knew how to unlatch the gate with his nose
to let all of his Borzoi friends loose.
He sure kept us on our toes.

He is greatly missed.

"Serena"

Kesjana Sunkist Serena

Serena was exactly as her name implies - always serene and especially gentle.
Serena was shown a little, however, was happiest at home or with my parents
(who she lived with for her last 6 years).  She lived with us for 11 years.

I still miss her gentle nudges.

Serena also graces the top of this page.

"Navarre"

Ch. Krestovi Midnite Navarre

Krestovi's JJ x Majenkir Valeska of Krestovi

From the moment I saw him, Navarre was meant to be mine.
I co-owned him for 11-1/2 years with Debbie Carsillo (Krestovi), Parkland, Pennsylvania.
Navarre was not the courser that his uncle, Chance, was, but
nevertheless his quiet charm and always sweet demeanor made him a
joy to live with as well as show.

He passed along his qualities to his son, Kazi, and I see him shining through in Sabra.

I lost Navarre last Spring 1998, two days before we moved to Cool Run.
He was dear to my heart and I miss him so.

Navarre also graces the Home Page of this Site.

"Jade"

Ch. Moonlit Jade By Design

Ch. Krestovi Midnite Navarre x Ch. Brinson Pagerr Alisa
(co-bred with Ginny Kerr of Pagerr Kennels, Corinna, Maine)

Jade is our show girl.  She is truly happiest in the show ring;
outgoing, always active and ready to go!  I have had so much
joy showing her.  Due to circumstances on my part, Jade
was never bred.  Nonethless, she lives happily at
Cool Run and is now 10 years young.

In Fall of 1998, Jade was one of the Borzoi used
in the Production of 'Giselle' by the Pennsylvania Ballet in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
