"Thunder"

Thunder is coming home!

Thunder was placed with a lady that left Iowa with him and was not returning calls. Thanks to National Borzoi Rescue and its wonderful network of Borzoi enthusiasts, Thunder will be home again with us soon!   What a wonderful ending to what could have been a tragic story.

Co-bred by Marcella Zobel (GoLightly Borzoi) and Deborah Butler (Valinor Borzoi).

The Kelcrest influence is very evident in Thunder's beautiful head and body type.  His striking markings and personality will help him be a winner in the conformation ring.  Brandi and Ivor's wonderful temperaments came through with this boy.
