There is a tremendous amount of information
available online with regard to dog breeding and choosing a puppy, but no
amount of online searching can compare to the insight gained from a one-on-one
conversation with a highly regarded breeder. One such person is Bob Wimberg, an
Ohio breeder of Russian Wolfhounds or Borzoi.The Happy Pooch offers excellent info on this. Bob has owned Borzoi for 28 years
and he breeds them about every four to five years. The first thing of note
about this high quality breeder is that his focus is upon rearing animals naturally,
breeding them only when it is healthy to do so, and giving them as high a
quality of life as possible without the use of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Bob believes in using a dog diet made up of
whole, natural foods, and treating his Borzoi with natural remedies as much as
possible. He uses herbs and garlic, bio-active natural dog supplements with
omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and of course no growth hormones. He explains that
one of the most common problems in a dog is dry itchy skin and a dry coat, and
these problems are entirely due to inadequate nutrition. Bob uses natural
supplements containing the missing link between what dogs would eat in the wild
and processed food or even the home-prepared food. The result is complete dog
health and no parasites.
Bob stated that his main goal is the
improvement of the breed following standards that have been set down for
hundreds of years. The Borzoi is an animal used to hunt ground game and so his
breeding has to focus on the functionality of the dog. Bob explained,
"There is sometimes a gap between show dogs and functional dogs, and even
though I show my dogs, I work to close that gap by choosing animals that can do
what they were originally bred to do. That means they need functional running
gear, strong and healthy legs, a functional top line and double suspension gait
when at full speed." Bob takes the traits that are predominant in the show
ring and combines them with traits that make the dog a functional hunter. The
result is puppies that are both beautiful and functional. Bob continued,
"When proper breeding is combined with natural rearing, the result is an
exceptionally healthy puppy, able to fulfil its natural purpose. Even if my
dogs don't actually hunt anymore, it's important that the aspects that are in
the hunting dog not be bred out."
Bob went on to offer some recommendationsin looking for and choosing a puppy. He suggests that looking at your
lifestyle, and choosing a breed that fits your lifestyle should be the primary
consideration. This is where buying a book on breeds, or going online to study
breeds will be important.
