Welcome to Our Borzoi Blog!

We'll start with remembrance of things past: Here we are walking up the drive of Leigh's sister's house one Christmas in Stamford, Connecticut. The hills around Stamford are beautiful: grey rock, blackwater ponds, and rhododendrons everywhere.

Noel loves Christmas--of course, since she was born on Christmas Eve. We sing "The First Noel" for her every year. This Christmas she will be twelve years old. Hard to believe.  We plan to take her with us to the family Christmas celebration at Stamford again this year.  

Sadly, we lost our big blue-brindle dog Street, sire of our Howff Carbonel "B" and "C" Litters, and the Avalon "U" Litter a couple of years ago at the age of ten. There will be lots of pictures of his children and grandchildren's adventures on these pages eventually.
