I live with my fiancé, Lucas, and our 11  years old daughter, Linda, in the country, about 10 minutes from the city of Eskilstuna which is about 10 swedish miles West of our capital, Stockholm.

I bought my first borzoi in 1981 and her name was Ermolaij's Fanya Feron. When she was 2 years old I acquired my second borzoi; Ermolaij's Kyra Tamara. When the ladies got old, I got my third borzoi; a male named Ivegill's Lord Moonwalk, called Gorby. 

I had to put Fanya to sleep at the age of 12, due to cancer, and Tamara the year after that (she became 11) and so I had only one borzoi.

In the summer of 1995 I fell in love with a Norwegian bitch that I met at Skokloster. I talked to the owner, and fortunately they had recently talked about selling her because they planned to have a litter from her sister. What luck! In the fall we went to Norway to bring home my 4^th borzoi, Ch Nor-Castle's Nadesjda. In the pedigree I could see that she had the same bloodlines that my first borzoi, Fanya. Maybe that's why I felt in love with Nadja at the first sight!

Nadesjda, “Nadja”,  became our foundation bitch. She whelped our first litter in July 1997. Unfortunately, I was only able to have one litter from her since we, at that time, did not have kennel facilities. We have one bitch at home from that litter, Barowiak's Anna Pavlova (Fanny). She is the mother to my B-litter and from that litter we have two puppies at home.
Nadja I had to put to sleep 2002 (10 years old)

I have trained obedience (more or less) with all my dogs. Fanya, my first dog, I trained to the highest class. Fanya did only compete in Class I (at that time it was Class I, II and III) at official competitions. She received an obedience-diploma (LP title for three first prizes). Tamara I trained to Class II, but never entered into any official competitions. When I bought Gorby I started to train him at once. He gained his LP quite easily. My goal with him was that he should compete in Class III, maybe higher and become obedience champion, but we only came to class II because of Linda’s birth and the puppies. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to train him as much as I needed. He was trained up to Class III.

Gorby crossed the Rainbow Bridge in the summer of 2005. He became 12 years, 2 months and 1 day old. He's the one that I'm going to miss most of them all - he was my Favourite of Favourites.

Nadja was not interested in obedience but she was marvellous at tracking (which I have found, all borzois are).

Because of my interest in obedience I trained to become an instructor, which I have been since 1989.

With Betty, Buzan and Woody we do some game tracking.
