Any experiences with these little dogs ? Real bonny things and have chance of a pup

Just a fancy name to add £££ to a crossbreed isn't it.

Looked into these a while ago. Check out youtube, there's a fair few clips of them running on lures. None of them looked remotely switched on! Guess it might be different behind some game? I believe their mainly bred for showing not hunting. It a shame as it would of been a nice dog if it took on the borzoi's game Ness...

The lad whos brede em has a borzoi bitch that can catch its fair bit of game, im in 2 minds to try one or not though

bonny looking dogs, but if you want to gamble, buy a lottery ticket. If you plan on a successful working dog, I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole

Il leave it then

there pretty little dogs if you like that sort of thing, but as the man said they are not working dogs, just a novelty breed, an attempt to breed mini borzois. i would steer clear.

I breed them but am the only person in England with puppies at the moment and none are going to Yorkshire

I will try to put up a photo of one of my Silkens running, they are not hoop backed as someone said earlier, I would love to race and course them, I live neat Boston Lincs so if anyone know on anything near I would love to hear from them.can't work out how to put in photos. I have added it at the bottom

They are certainly not bred to be mini Borzoi. They can and do work.

No they don't

This litter between borzoi x whippet lurcher was bred not far from me.

There are only 55 in England, I brought in the first. They are not Whippet Borzoi crosses, they have some of both breeds in them but that is not all, I bed and showed

Borzoi for approx 36years and although I do see some Borzoi traits they are not much like them at all.
