New Title Holders and Other Updates
The first half of 2019 brings many updates for Satara borzoi: In January, 2 puppies from the Felixx x Georgia litter went open field coursing for the first time. JR and Havana BOTH showed that they have got what it takes to hunt against the top OFC borzoi in the country. Both puppies picked up a first place, and both earned enough points to earn invitations to The Grand Course (JR in 2019 and Havana in 2020). I am very proud that these 13 month old puppies had an incredible debut.

Brexit also added another title in May after attending his first dock diving trial. After working hard last summer, I wasn't sure he would remember how to jump being off all winter, but I am proud to say he did NOT forget. His official personal best jump is 15'9''. He obtained his Dock Junior title and one leg towards his Dock Senior.
CH Satara's The Desired Effect JC DJ In June, "Rio" Satara's Tidal Wave JC BCAT RATI DJ finished his first dock diving title one week after his brother. Rio also has legs towards his novice and senior titles. Go Rio!
