Dogs and All about Them

The
foregoing
description
embodies
the
standard
of
points
as
laid
down
and
adopted
by
the
Borzoi
Club,
interpolated
with
some
remarks
for
the
further
guidance
of
the
novice.
The
Borzoi
Club
was
founded
in
1892,
and
now
consists
of
about
fifty
members,
with
the
Duke
and
Duchess
of
Newcastle
as
joint-presidents.
It
does
much
good
work
for
the
breed,
guaranteeing
classes
at
shows,
where
otherwise
few
or
none
would
be
given,
encouraging
the
breeding
of
high-class
Borzois
by
offering
its
valuable
challenge
cups
and
other
special
prizes,
and
generally
looking
after
the
interests
of
the
breed.
Although
the
Club
standard
of
height
has
been
raised
from
27
and
26
inches
to
29
and
27
inches
for
dogs
and
bitches
respectively,
it
must
be
borne
in
mind
that
the
best
dogs
of
to-day
far
exceed
these
measurements,
and,
unless
exceptionally
good
in
other
points,
a
dog
of
29
inches
at
shoulder
would
stand
little
or
no
chance
in
the
showing
under
the
majority
of
English
judges;
indeed,
bitches
of
29
to
30
inches
are
by
no
means
uncommon.
