What are your experiences of prey drive in hounds? Do young dogs always show it or can it develop in time? My youngest silken windhound Spice (15 months) has no prey drive whatsoever, not that I really mind but it does mean he doesn't take racing seriously. At the weekend his big sister and my...

It was wonderful to watch this parade yesterday with some of the rarer hound breeds, 2 that I'd never even seen before. Basset Bleu de Gascogne (I'd only met the bigger ones before) and these rather gorgeous Bavarian Mountain Hounds

I've always liked cats but haven't had one since my last cat died almost 18 years ago, it seemed to risky to bring a tiny kitten into a house with rabbit eating borzois! I finally 'bit the bullet' last year and got two little kittens, the dogs absolutely adore them and they all get on so well...

The UK Silken Windhound Club are holding their first show next month, anyone interested in the breed this would be the place to see them. There are now 29 silkens in the country and 7 are coming over from the Netherlands so there should be a good turnout. The club are also producing a directory...

Next week I am collecting a new running pal for Milly, making 3 silkens in Scotland :)) This is Spice (Endevor Prince Valiant) at 5 months and then 6 months when both his legs and his coat have grown :D

I was lucky enough to attend the 2 day Silkenfest in Germany last weekend. It was fabulous fun, gorgeous dogs, really nice people and a great venue (Dog City, Bremen). The highlight of the day for me was the BBQ on Saturday night when everyone let their dogs off lead to play - some 30 plus...

Reading about the new Scottish Thistle PWRC made me go and find this old pic taken at the SPWRC, not sure of the date - I think 1992. Do you recognise anyone? I think that's Flora behind the loud speaker? I'm on the far right with the borzoi, Marjory McKinnon 2nd from left. The lady on the left...

The silken windhound thread seems to have disappeared from the sighthound bit, and I can't even see my posts in my list of posts under profile anymore? Does anyone know why, little Milly is really quite a sweet little hound and didn't mean to offend anyone!

Went to the Caledonian thistle racing club fun day today - and it was great fun :thumbsup: The weather was kind to us, the judges did a great job, the steward was brilliant and lots and lots of gorgeous dogs to admire :) I'm sure there will be an official list of winners, I don't know...

Hi, a few years ago I took my borzois along to the whippet racing at Kincardine, we all enjoyed our days out there. I only have one elderly borzoi man now but I think my silken would love a shot of racing. Does anyone know if this still runs? I wondered if the season had started yet and if they...

There doesn't seem to be a borzoi thread? A forum without borzoi piccies is surely just not right :p Here is my current boy Tchi and some of my oldies now at the bridge...

Hi :) I'm new here so I apologise in advance for any 'newbie' mistakes I make! I'm a hound lover from West Lothian. I've owned 15 borzois over the last 20 years but just have one elderly gentleman left. At home with the borzoi are an elderly lurcher I rescued last year, 2 border collies and...
