Tovaritch Trip to - St. Petersberg International Borzoi Conference - Page 2

Back HOME

Visit to the dog show.  Well I think most of our show commitee would have a bird here.  There were loose borzoi, whippets, IGs all over the place.  The terrain was gravel and had broken glass in it. The grounds had summer palaces on it - beautiful and all under construction.  They also had a great performance with horse and dancers.

The International Borzoi Conference - lots of good speakers and thank god that Chrintina Terra from Zabava Borzoi who is a professional interpreter stepped in to help out.

The Gang out for dinner: Bruce & Pat Ingram, Jennifer & Wendy - from NZ, Jennifer was our token afghan person, Linda & James Faulkner.  And there is a picture of Greg & I with the oldest Borzoi Breeder in Russia - she is 90 and she has had Borzoi for over 48 years, even back when it wasn't allowed.  She did lots to perserve the breed.

Our trip to the Ballet - Swan Lake. then a visit to the chapel that housed the Romanoffs at the Peter & Paul fortress. and then a wonderful photo of more magnificent buildings on our water boat tour.
