Dutch’s show career came to a close at the 2015 National Specialty.  We would have liked to be the triumph of Lacey’s final show, when she won the 2006 National Specialty, but sadly he didn’t even make a cut.  As the picture shows, his gait is as smooth and flawless as ever.

Madame said he was the hardest dog she ever handled, so it’s a tribute to her skills that he ended 2014 as the #1 Borzoi in Breed, Owner-Handled competition and Grand Champion points.  Dutch’s last all-breed show was the Baytown KC show, where he got a Group 4 under Judy Webb.
