About us
Russ & Chris Buhrdorf
We have three special silken boys and are located in
Colorado Springs, CO.
We were introduced to sight hounds by Tom and KC
at the ZoiBoyz Ranch. They had us handling their
Borzoi at performance events from the first
performance event we went to. We loved being
around sight hounds and the people and events
associated with them. Unfortunately our house is
not large enough for Borzoi. Melessa from Attaway
Borzoi & Silken Windhounds, introduced us to her
Silken Candy. We decided that this was the breed for
us, and the search was on. We searched the web
and found a puppy named Firebird’s Lone Ranger
(Scout). We fell in love with him on the first meeting,
and convinced Bobbie that we would take good care
of him. After seeing him running in the pasture, and
how he blended in with the colors, he was renamed
Apache.
After the passing of our older dog Whiskey, Apache
need someone to play with. We asked Melessa if we
could see if Kristull Chase the Wind (Chase) and
Apache would get along. Chase has been a member
of our household from then on.After talking with
Cathi Wester of Clayborn Silken Windhounds, and a
year of planning, we decided to breed Apache and
Clayborn’s Prairie Warbler (Noella). We expect
performance puppies from this litter. Both parents
are accomplished performance dogs in addition to
Champion conformation dogs. We had the first
choice of the male puppies. There was only one
male Clayborn’s Apache Firedance (Chochise), and
he makes our third boy. We belong to the Rocky
Mountain Borzoi Club. Chris is the club Secretary,
and Russ is on the Performance committee. We
believe in keeping our hounds active in both
confirmation and performance.
