Chester, Va., shoot Nikon D4 full frame and carry a Canon EOS m3 for travel. Good glass and these do a fair job. Just shot an indoor dog show of the Potomac Hound Club and the Borzoi ring which the borzoi owners and handlers seemed to enjoy. Tough shoot with no flash allowed and indoor lighting way up high but the isos on the D4 handled it just fine.

the full frame sensor versus my d7000 cropped nikon is so much better that you can let the iso run way up. Motion shots I panned to minimize it but overall they turned out very serviceable.

Thank you one and all. These are the elegant Borzois, most descended from the Majenkir kennel of nearly equal fame to the Perchino kennel both of which emerged after the 1917 purge which killed the rulers of Russia and slaughtered all the Borzoi who were symbols of the nobility. These dogs were all descendants of dogs which had been given to ambassadors or others outside of Russia previously. All the dogs in the photos shown are all American AKC Grand Champions which is as good as it gets so you won't see a whole lot better in Borzoi.
I happen to own two myself. One, Rom, has impeccable breeding, nothing but champions and grand champions all the way back as far as it goes. A big boy at 88" long from tail tip to nose. Far Field Remoulade by formal name. The other is a girl bred to a Russian Sire and a rescue, Princess Liliana, both 4 years old starting in their prime. Great company, highly intelligent and independent dogs and perhaps the best overall athletes of the big dog breeds. Hit 45 mph, jump an 8' fence and have reflexes like you would not believe. They corner like sports cars and love to play. My two are the sweetest company a widower can have! Rom is an extremely special boy from Louisiana who loves to sing along with the old New Orleans blues song: The house of the rising sun! Liliana is my sweet little princess.
