Ch. Monarch Sylvan Zorro

Ch. Oaklara's Shadow of the Moon x BIS Ch. Monarch Chrystal Chandelier

Zorro and his brother Boston came to us as puppies from a litter co-bred with Tammy and Shawn Smith

In his class career, Zorro won a 5 point major and a BOB from the classes in 2002, then at age two, he ate a foreign object, necessitating surgery. It took quite a while for his coat to recover from the emergency clinic's clippers. He came back to the ring in late Spring of 2003 and won at most of the shows he went to, finishing with another major in August.

In 2004, Zorro thrilled us by coming down to the final two competitors at the Centennial National Specialty in a an entry of 605 Borzoi. He was shown to the first Award of Merit by his co-breeder, Shawn Smith. This is only the second time Zorro had been in the ring as a Special.

In November 2004 and 2006, Zorro was Best of Breed at the BCOA supported entry in Ocala, and placed third in the Hound Group both times.

Zorro went to the National Specialty in Rhode Island in April 2007, and for the second time, he was among the final few Borzoi standing at the end of the Best of Breed judging, taking home an Award of Merit.

Zorro was a terrific driving dog; easy-going, with a great work ethic and long, smooth stride. Working as a team with his brother, Boston, he logged hundreds of miles in harness on our country roads. This was Zorro's favorite activity, though in Florida's heat, only possible for a few months each winter.
