Our Borzoi Breeding Experience
 |  |  |  |
|---|
Jeff and I have been passionate and committed to Borzoi for 35 years, Borzoi Breeders for 22 of those years. We did not begin to breed Borzoi until we had been immersed in the breed for over 13 years.
We spent that 13 years showing, living and learning with our Borzoi kids before we
took the step to breed our first litter. During that time we studied borzoi structure, movement, temperament, health, pedigrees and the principles of responsible breeding.
We immersed ourselves in everything Borzoi so that our first litter was created using the best Borzoi breeding pair we could and the successful results of that litter were a testament to our efforts to take the time to learn before leaping into the breeding world.
The Storm Litter produced 7 AKC Champions, 2 AKC Grand Champions, 2 Hound Group winners, a Multiple Best In Specialty Show winner and 2 Top Ranking Borzoi in the Nation!

Our vast experience has served us well over the past 35 years in the breed. As of 2026, we have bred, co-bred and imported 39 Borzoi that have attained their AKC conformation Championships and we are very proud of their many accomplishments.
As long time Borzoi breeders, we have learned from each litter and have been told by our many Borzoi puppy parents that we have enriched their lives. Sharing this wonderful breed has been an honor and the lifelong friendships a precious gift.
About Jeff
My husband Jeff is the dog whisperer here at Sedona Borzoi. His connection and devotion to our Borzoi kids is unparalleled. He is the backbone of Sedona Borzoi and our success is a result of his caring, hard work and love for the breed. A man of high integrity, fabulous sense of humor and gentle spirit deeply connected with the earth and all that live here. He is my rock and my partner in life. I am truly blessed.
About Tamara
Tamara is the visionary and planner at Sedona Borzoi. The one who can close her eyes and see the perfect Borzoi in her mind. She never stops dreaming, researching or planning for the next magical Borzoi breeding. She is highly competitive and has worked hard to build a strong breeding program with great success. She loves her Borzoi deeply with a bond so strong the loss of every Zoi child takes its toll.
Tamara is also very creative and opened Borzoi Gifts and Art Deco Gifts where she puts her graphic design talent to work, creating wonderful gifts you will not find online anywhere else!
She also creates websites. You can view her Portfolio at BISWebsiteDesign.
Our Borzoi kids are our beloved companions first and foremost. We never had children, so I always say "Our kids have fur" whenever asked. Together my husband Jeff and I have created a wonderful life near Seattle Washington that revolves around our beautiful Borzoi, enjoying the nature around us, showing in AKC dog shows and breeding quality Borzoi puppies!
For fun we show them in AKC dog shows. Jeff and I both show our own Borzoi.
We campaigned two of our Borzoi to top ranking in the United States, solely Owner Handled all the way. At that time, there was NO Owner Handled Group, so we were competing against the top West Coast Professional Handers in the regular Hound Group.
In 2007, our Cooper was ranked the #4 Breed and #5 All Breed competition in the Nation. He was a top ranked Borzoi in the Nation for 3 years in a row, garnering 130 Best Of Breed wins, multiple Best In Specialty Show wins as well as prestigious Award of Excellence and Best Bred by Exibhitor awards at the Eukanuba National Championship show in Long Beach California.
Cooper's son Zasha ranked #6 Borzoi Breed and #8 All Breed in 2016, shown sparingly by myself and Jeff. During his career, Zasha had two BEST IN HOUND SHOW wins defeating over 340 hounds at the Western Washington Hound Specialty and defeating over 250 hounds at the Cascade Hound Show.
