Freddie was the beloved pet of my good friend, Rick Merle. He spent many years running in the desert after blacktails and even got a few kills on rock chucks. Fred was the epitome of the perfect Borzoi, temperament wise. He was a confident, non pushy dog who accepted all with grace and aplomb. He was Rick's gentle alpha dog.
Conformation wise, Fred had everything the other pups in the ltiter had: big, sound gait; tight tuck up; lovely topline with long fallaway; long, well carried tail; large soft eyes. He also had more: a big coat and a narrow skull. He was gorgeous. His only problem is that he, so far, is the only monorchid I've produced.
Fred was special. |
