Noodles
was our first Borzoi. He was acquired from LaMac Kennels in
Atlanta, GA. His father was a National Specialty BOB winner
(We did not know the meaning of that at the time!) All we
knew was he was DARLING. Noodles was an anniversary gift to
me from Dick on our 1st wedding anniversary. PO Dusham
in Russian means "Heart to Heart" or more literally
"soul to soul". His name became our kennel name
for its meaning. He was bought as a pet, as we knew nothing
of showing....
When
friends encouraged us to show, he taught us more than we ever
taught him and we learned together. He became an American
and a Canadian Champion with a Group Placement along the way!
Needless to say we were HOOKED!
"Annie" Ch.
