Renamed Vigow von Moritzburg.

One of the last imports before World War I was Vigow von der Moritzburg from Kiev, father and mother unknown. The whole appearance of this male was proof that he was a 100% well bred borzoi. The specialist Losslin described him as follows: “Vigow von der Moritzburg. A silver-grey male, tall, short coupled, deep in chest with faultless front and hindquarters, coat thick and curly. His head was most attractive, it appeared out of a curly neck like an eagle’s head, it was dry without any flesh or unevenness in the bone structure; seen from the side it was high, and at the spot where our borzoi have a hollow spot in the nose, his was arched.”

It was unbelievable that this borzoi Vigow was not used for more breeding. One person seemed to have had an eye for his value --- Richard Dix, Weimar, owner of the kennel Bielaja. He bred his bitch Marza [Steinach] DWZ638 to Vigow. This resulted in two males and two bitches; from these the all black Chack Bielaja was destined to bcome a world famous and sought after stud dog.
