This little book not only gives a striking picture of the wonderfully beautiful Borzoi with more accurate historical data of his Russian environment than has probably appeared elsewhere, but it contains an enlightening description of his use, capabilities, and limitations. The author has studiously avoided the suggestions and pitfalls of some of the earlier importers and fanciers who claimed an impossible combination of speed, endurance, and courage for theB orzoi. He has expended more time and energy in fixing a correct type of this picturesque hound than any A merican, and probably more than any one in Europe, barring a very few in Russia.
