Flyte's Pedigree

Breeder: Susan Weinkein

DOB: July 7, 2000

I loved Flyte the very first time I saw Susan Weinkein walking her at a lure course. She was only a puppy at the time, but I thought she was a gorgeous bitch. It never occurred to me that I would ever have the chance to own her.

Now that I have lived with this wonderful borzoi I have found her to be a great companion. From the moment she walked into my home, Flyte adopted my cat as her own and got along well with my other three dogs. She was so kind to Zodi during the time he was suffering with his bone cancer and did much to comfort both him and me during that difficult time.

Flyte is an excellent athlete. She had a successful ASFA coursing career through Susan Weinkein's efforts. Flyte has many excellent attributes. Her rear assembly is well put together creating one of the best rears I have ever seen on a dog. Her movement is not extreme but well balanced. I just love her. It looks like she has passed on her best qualities to her puppies.

I bred Flyte to Mir (DC Meilikki A Kind Of Magic, SC, LCM, SGRC, ORC) and on April 15, 2006 she presented me with 8 puppies clothed in brindle, brindle and white, and red and white. You can see the litter here.

I managed to catch a nice photo of Flyte's pretty face as she rested in the leaves on an early December day in 2007.

Around here squirrel watching is a favored past time. On April 18, 2008, I came home to find the dogs enthusiastically watching a squirrel perched up in a tree. Obviously, Flyte is doing this from a comfortable vantage point.

Anna Midgarden was kind enough to send me this photo of Susan Weinkein with Flyte. This is such a beautiful photo. They look so good together. After all, Flyte will always belong to Susan, she is just hanging out with me until they can be together again, forever. I am grateful to John Weinkein for entrusting Flyte with me until that time.
