Puppy #1

"Merinda" - aborigine meaning:
Pretty Woman

Owned and loved by one and all, as this little angel passed into God's Hands on August 21st.  The hole in her heart at birth never did close up, so our hearts are broken, but her's is now healed...

We are... Borzoi of Dendy Farm - Dendy is the name of my great, great, great grandfather who founded an area of Melbourne, Australia and Joe and I like the history of it all...also thought this litter came about because of our trip to Australia and an Aborginal theme might be different...so this is the theme :-)   Maggie

Dendy Borzoi proudly welcomes our very first litter - three beautiful little girls - look black and white but believe they are tris. Mom, Libby (Ch. Virshina Elizabeth II) is doing a great job. And poor Dad, Maxwell's Silver Hammer is relegated to the kennel at present. 
A huge thank you toToby Brandtman who co-bred this litter with me, for her advice and to Cricket Murray who's sage advice to get to the Vet probably saved Libby and the puppies. The first puppy was stuck and with the help of a wonderful vet came out healthy and beautiful as did her sisters. Libby is presently relaxing while I am still astonished at thewonders of birth.

Dearest Maggie and Joe,

We do not know God's plans and when you accept that it is His will then all works out for the best.  We are so honored to be apart of your growing zoifamily and we cannot thank you & Toby enough for sharing this gem of gems.  We made a promise to Chris Bradley that we would carry on the "Virshina" name and when Liberty lost her puppies and her sister Libby was having puppies...well, you have no idea what you have done for us... what a true blessing indeed.  We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts and we pray that Jilli grows to be strong, healthy and first and foremost, live a full happy life.
