borzoimom 24 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 but here it goes. To put this in prespective that is like 15 percent of the Borzoi breed registry is why the numbers are so shocking.. None of the pictures are gross but they are sickening that someone would keep dogs like this. http://www.nbrf.info/index.php?p=9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xr4man 7 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 so, borzoi are a very rare breed? i don't know much about them, never heard of em until i got on here. those are horrible pictures. they are so thin, their faces remind me of the rats of nimh. somebody needs an attitude adjustment with a Louisville slugger for keeping them like that.

borzoimom 24 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Not considered " rare" but only about 600 to 700 are registered a year with the AKC total Nation wide. Just low in numbers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wicket's mom 1 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 What a sin! I'm glad to see those poor dogs are now in better hands and hopefully they'll all have loving homes real soon. Do you know what those big round "bubbles" hanging off of a couple of those girls' skin were? I've never seen anything like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xr4man 7 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 i'm guessing they are the tumors the article spoke of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tzuhouse 4 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 So terribly sad. They have a long way to go, but you can see how appreciative they are in the "after bath" pics. Poor babies, you are right Michelle, it sickening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janemin 5 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 .The only possitive thing about those pics are the after pictures.My God,you would hardly recognise those majestic looking creatures.I hope they throw the book at the disgusting creature who was responsible for this cruelty.I would love to know how these Borzois look in a few months.

NickyPhyl 1 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 God bless the rescue people! I always pray for them, because they are doing God's work to help His creatures. Poor babies... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad to see those poor dogs are now in better hands and hopefully they'll all have loving homes real soon. Do you know what those big round "bubbles" hanging off of a couple of those girls' skin were? I've never seen anything like that. Those are mammory tumors. They occur when teat care after having a litter- like suddenly taking the pups away, or not watching the teats for infection, and eventually the infection turns into a tumor. ( hopefully- because bad mastitus can also cause death due to infection.) If anyone is interested I was told last night due to the massive undertaking, with so many that will require extensive surgeries or treatment, they were putting a donation link on the website.

FairyTail Josette 14 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 So devastating. I'm glad they were able to get them out of there. So saddened the one had advanced stages of cancer and was put down, at least, his last moments were in comfort with love. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyTzuLady 16 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 OMG that is just horrible. I just don't get how people can be so cruel to such loving and devoted animals. It makes me sick. I do hope they all are fortunate enough to find a loving forever home where they can live out their lives in peace and happiness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borzoimom 24 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 One thing about our breed is that there is a waiting list of people that want to adopt. And since its a national club, people know all over the country when dogs are available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I am sure there are already people lined up to take these beauties home with them. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borzoimom 24 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Including us, but I doubt one will fit our situation- but who knows. They match the dog to your situation so it just depends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pookiebear01 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 That is just horrible! I really don't understand some people!
