Hunters

 

These three hunting borzois are believed to have been owned by C J Elliot from Colorado in America.

Information from Andrus Kozlow, Margaret Davis and Sue Vasick!

Orloff III bred by C F Hoeckel and owned by C J Elliott was from several generations of Hoeckel dogs going back to some of the Russian dogs imported by Paul Hacke about 30 years earlier. The sire Orloff II also had two UK imports in his pedigree. He was a grandson of Czar Nicholas (UK) by Ch Opromiot (Imp Russia) x Nagla II (Imp Russia) and great grandson of Endcliffe Duchess (UK) twice. She was by Lebith (Imp Russia) x Czarina Lubedka (Imp Russia). The dam of Orloff II was Hoeckel’s Sudarka Lady who was line bred to Hacke’s Odinor (Imp Russia) three times. Hacke’s Viewga and Prospeski were also in her pedigree along with Ch Marksman, Ch Leekhoi and Raskida all imported from Russia. The mother of Orloff III was Golubka OVF a daughter of Ch Nenagladni Perchino (Imp Russia) x a daughter of Ch Bistri Perchino x Atamanka Woronzova both imp Russia.

They were also rude to many people who then stopped exhibiting. By the time a new committee took over and apologized to them it was too late.

May be an image of text that says "Hounds Abcut 20 Russian Wolfhounds are going west on a hunting expedition with Mr. Bradley and friends. It will be remembered that Mr. Bradley furnished the money and stores that sent Dr. Cook on his journey to the North Pole. The Valley Farm Ken- nels are being drawn upcn for this supply of Borzoi, which will be used on timber welves. Thege are perfect devils, and it is likely that the younger dogs will be first run on coyotes or prairie wolves..""
