Recent updates:

Double Take Ranch is proud to announce that we are now home to the

BRASS.....CLASS and a little SASS!

In 2003, we added two very elegant Borzoi puppies to our canine family and their pictures and pictures of their Sires and Dams are featured below.

While we do not breed our own Borzoi .... we would be happy to refer you to our friends in Finland:

 Staraja Russa Borzoi, 

or ....

Mechta's Borzoi, in Northern, CA.

They are wonderful people and we feel blessed that they have each shared with us, one of their treasured girls.

We have also included some basic and historical information and photos on this very "classy" breed. Borzoi are sight hounds. The males should grow to be at least 28" at the withers and will weigh in at 75 to 105 lbs. The females are at least 26" high and will typically weigh 15 to 20 lbs. less.

The Borzoi was known, prior to 1936, as the Russian Wolfhound. They are sight hounds and were originally bred by the Russian aristocracy for hunting expeditions and the coursing of wild game, most notably wolves. Today these classy and intelligent dogs are just as comfortable on our couches as they are out in the fields.
