He will also be my demo dog for my training classes; company at my annual vendor booth at our county fair; my service-dog-in-training; and my constant companion.

Silken Windhounds will be eligible for AKC recognition in 2010. Back in 2004 that seemed like soooo far into the future, but I've researched lots of alternatives to AKC events to keep us busy 'til then....
WOW! I am impressed- my two younger ones get too creative- Zubin goes and sees the stewards in a run-- both pose at for applause on the dog walk, and in obedience Zubin refuses to sit and stops and stands for the judge verses a sit.. loll
I show in confirmation, lure course and the two younger ones are therapy dogs as well. Femka is good in obedience, but she is worried about men- and the stand for exam- it worries her.
I did confirmation, sch/k-9, search and rescue, obedience for years with my shepherds.
I am so glad to get another fellow borzoi/silken windhound person here. I can see this breed doing well in what you want to do . Remember- with a borzoi, the regulation tunnel they have to crawl to go through it... lol.. and love to jump OVER the tires- not through them... lol..
