Here are some of my favorite links and links to sites that I have found useful.

AKC    The American Kennel Club is dedicated to upholding the integrity of its Registry, promoting the sport of purebred dogs and breeding for type and function. Founded in 1884, the AKCŪ and its affiliated organizations advocate for the purebred dog as a family companion, advance canine health and well-being, work to protect the rights of all dog owners and promote responsible dog ownership.
ASFA    The American Sighthound Field Association is an organization of Sighthound fanciers dedicated to the common goal of preserving and further developing the natural beauty, grace, speed and coursing skill of the Sighthound. ASFA maintains rules, procedures, and records for lure field trials. They endeavor to promote lure field trials for sighthounds.
Borzoi Central   Borzoi Central is an internet portal for Borzoi fanciers.  They have a collection of links that relate to Borzoi, including health, breeding and genetics, a breeders' linkexchange, club listings, rescue listings, historical articles and more.  There are also several interactive areas including a message board, e-cards, event calendar, judge rating database and the popular online pedigree database.
Borzoi Club of America    Objectives of the Borzoi Club of America are to encourage and promote the preservation and welfare of the pure bred Borzoi and to do all possible to bring the Breed's natural qualities to perfection; to urge members, breeders and judges to accept the Standard of the Breed, as approved by the American Kennel Club, as the only Standard of excellence by which the Borzoi shall be bred and judged; to urge members and breeders to abide by the Code of Ethics and the Guidelines for Breeders of the Borzoi Club of America, Inc.; to do all in its power to protect and advance the interest of the Breed by encouraging sportsmanlike competition at dogs shows and Borzoi affairs; to conduct licensed and sanctioned specialty shows under the rules of the American Kennel Club and to perform required duties as Parent Club of the Breed; and to encourage the organization of independent local Borzoi specialty clubs in those localities where there are sufficient fanciers of the Breed to meet the requirements of the American Kennel Club.  All Borzoi enthusiasts should at least be familiar with this site, if not a member of this organization.
Breeding Better Dogs   Carmen L. Battaglia, Ph.D., takes a highly sophisticated, scientific, and technical subject like genetics and makes it not only easy to understand, but even fun!   He has been doing that for the past twenty five years to the amazement and delight of the dog-breeding world.  He calls it "Breeding Better Dogs" and it does.
Brolin's Borzoi   Kris Brolin is a long time Borzoi breeder, professional handler, and dear friend.
Doc's Blend  Want to keep that Borzoi coat thick and lustrous?  Try Doc Lord's Hair of the Dog.   It works!
Dog Bloom  I usually do not give my dogs supplements, figuring that it just makes expensive pee.  However, these folks guarantee the analysis of their products and the Dog Bloom VM Supreme cured my Puppy Love of her itchy coat and their Performance Bloom Gluco Plus gives my 11 year old Collie a spring in his step.
GoLightly Borzoi   Marcella Zobel is a long time Borzoi Breeder and my very valued mentor.
Greater Twin Cities Borzoi Club  This is my 'neighborhood' Borzoi Club.  GTCBC was founded in 1974, and serves Borzoi owners and fanciers in the greater Twin Cities area of Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota, with membership reaching surrounding states. The purpose of the Club is to promote education and support through bi-monthly meetings and other activities in the areas of canine health, conformation, obedience, lure and open field coursing and to encourage responsible breeding practices.  Their club activities include their Annual Independent Specialty Show each June, participation in local events such as the St Paul Winter Carnival Parade, the Renaissance Festival, Annual Picnic, Spring Garlic Festival, Lure Coursing Practice, Borzoi Walk and their Annual Holiday Party.
Leicro Borzoi  Visit this wonderful Swedish Borzoi Kennel. Many of my Borzoi have roots here.  Be sure to check out Int Ch, Am Ch, Dutch Ch Puer Ch V'Indra's Irek JC 's page.
LGRA    The Large Gazehound Racing Association's purposes are educational and recreational and not for profit. To encourage and promote the sighthounds in their historic role as hunters who capture their quarry through the chase; to test sprint speed and function; to evaluate breeding stock; and to encourage the development of well trained racers competing against other sighthounds in organized straight track racing events held on a flat, natural surface.
Pets Welcome.com    A very useful site to find lodging, restaurants, etc. that are pet friendly.
Sighthound Gear    OK, this is my business website.  But hey, since this is my kennel's website, I can list it.  We make and sell collars, jackets, and warm-ups.  We also sell muzzles, cool coats, BLOOM Dog Supplements, and other items as we find them.
Sighthound Imaging    This is my husband's website.  He is an awesome photographer.  Check out some of his lure coursing and racing photographs.
