My Tyapa, a female borzoi born in WA state accomplished 2 AKC Champion titles in the show ring. She was a joy to everyone her entire life. She competed in a large hound show just a month before the suddenly passed, winning a beautiful award from the Veteran class. I love my Tyapa and miss her beyond words. She was my kitchen hound too-never refused a meal!! Godspeed you Tyapa.
