FIREBIRD BORZOI

Firebird Borzoi breeds on a very selective basis. Most of the litters here are co-bred. Sometimes pups/adults from the litters are available to a few choice homes... Proper temperament is paramount; breeding animals are selected first for suitable personalities. The Borzoi Standard calls for courage, and since the standard is the guideline, individuals are chosen for their adherence to this criterion. Keenness and intelligence are paramount when selecting Borzoi to be bred... Health is very important. Our dogs are always tested for eye problems. All dogs bred are DNA tested. We've recently incorporated heart and DM (Degenerative Myelopathy) testing as well as thyroid testing. Intensive studying of bloodlines goes into place before any breeding for any defects in health as per Dr Padgett.
