The Borzoi in the West: The Beginning - by Andrus Kozlov and Irina Shlykova.

A new book on the history of borzoi (in Russian) "The Borzoi in the West: the beginning" by Andrus Kozlov and Irina Shlykova. Hardcover, 267 pages, format 210x260 mm
This fascinating work traces the formation of the Borzoi breeding stock outside of its native land back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  Many dogs exported to North America and Europe as well as their descendants are featured in this work.  The authors describe the exported dogs' ancestors, give accounts of their breeders, site their critiques from the shows in the Imperial Russia, as well as quote the critiques of their ancestors, litter mates and descendants that had remained in Russia.  Many historical documents referenced in this book had not been previously published, including some archival materials, exhibition reports, and stud books from the Imperial Russia, North America, and Europe.  The book includes more than 300 photographs and drawings of the dogs from the bygone days; many of the images had last been published over 100 years ago.  This book is bound to become an excellent reference volume for any Borzoi enthusiast interested in the breed's history and its development in Europe and North America.

This novel is mostly about Arab horses but the author owned the Carol Waldron bred Ch Mindean Arishnakov, and he and brother Chesnakov, are mentioned a number of times in the book. It’s a good read.
