pave

Pavẽ was born November 25, 2001. In March of 2002 I had the opportunity to travel to England with my dad and his wife. Along the way we met my brother Louie who lived in Italy at the time. We vacationed together before heading to my final destination to pick up our puppy from Lorraine Marchant, Starborough. She called her "Pru". It was love at first sight. The Marchants graciously, let me stay with them for a week. It was my first trip to England and it was indeed a time I will cherish forever, not only because I got to know Lorraine and George who have become very special friends, but I was also able to bring back two lovely borzoi, our Pavẽ and her brother, Legend (Starborough Dimitri) owned by Kristi Arnquist.

Thanks to Vicky Bloemer for restoring Pave's and Ioury's puppy pictures.

Pavẽ began her show career by taking BOS in sweepstakes at the Greater Twin Cities Borzoi Club, her first show in June of 2002. Her first show as an adult in January 2003, she took WB and BOW for 2 points. In January 2004 at that very same show she took her first 3 pt major. Pavẽ is a tall, very elegant bitch who needed maturity. I had made the decision to show her outside in summer of 2004 and she did not disappoint me. At the Michana Kennel Club show June of 2004 she took WB, BOW, BOB for her second major. From that day forward we never looked back. Pavẽ took WB at 5 consecutive shows to acquire her championship. She is the third Starborough champion borzoi in this country, along with Ch Starborough Simeon & Ch Starborough Tansy.

Thanks to Sherry Galante for providing many of Pave's photos.
