A BIG NEWS weekend for the ZoiBoyz

I'll keep it short for now and will follow with more at another time.
This weekend KC & I took Jazz, Indy (Nitro/Carmen summertime litter) and Monte Carlo (Kazan/Laika European cities) to Wellington, CO to attempt to get their AKC JCs. All three succeeded both days and were entered in Sunday's AKC LC trial afterwards. With 8 nice running borzoi in open class Carlo and Jazz tied for 1st place. We flipped a coin and forfeited Carlo to Jazz. Jazz got a 4 point major and Carlo 3 pts. Dagny (Kazan/Scandal rhcp) finished Sunday in 3rd obtaining 1 point and on Saturday won Open class for a point. Comet and Challenger ran both days as the only Specials and Challenger won breed both Saturday and Sunday. Challenger got 1 point on Saturday and a 5 point major on Sunday. 
We also found out that Serrano (Kazan/Scandal rhcp litter) earned his LCM on Sunday to go along with his FCh, LCX and MC. And if that wasn't enough good news for the weekend.......Drumroll please..............................................................................................
Zoiboyz Perfect Storm v. Rosehill (Kazan/Phoenix rodeo legends) , who earlier this year won the German Short Track Oval Racing Championship, won the German Coursing Championship in Tuttleben, Germany. AND - I'm not done yet........................................................... Zoiboyz Chevelle (Kazan/Sara muscle cars) placed second in the same event. This is Germany's premiere coursing event. We know several folks who are very pleased this weekend. 
We cannot say enough good things about the wonderful people who have liked our hounds enough to breed to and/or to own hounds that have come from our kennel. That is an ultimate pleasure and we thank you.

We are back but ~

We are back from our 10 day Germany visit and had a great time. Too much on the plate right now to write a report for the blog. Off to TX for a judging assignment while KC and the hounds play at the Grand National here in Falcon.
I'll write more next week.

Off to Germany

There won't be any blogging by me until we return from our trip to Germany.
First we'll get to watch "Stormy", Zoiboyz Perfect Storm v. Rosehill, (Phoenix & Ambassador Rodeo Legends litter) represent Germany in the FCI European Oval Racing Championship. This will take place in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on 5 & 6 September.

Then we visit and meet with friends through out Germany while we work our way south to Stuttgart where we will attend the wedding of some very close friends.
We will return to the ZoiBoyz Ranch soon after. While gone the ranch and hounds will be in good hands by Melissa's watchful eye.
We wish our friends the happiness of a lifetime and may Stormy find that turbo and luck he'll need to be successful in his runs against the best running hounds in Europe.

Fun Run & ASFA Certs August 29

Saturday, August 29 RMBC sponsored a Fun Run hosted here at the ZoiBoyz Ranch. We started off with some ASFA Certifications judged by Deann B. Immediately following the ASFA Certs we started the Fun Run. I am including some sample photos from the day. We got to see some really nice runs by the certing hounds and got to see some first time puppies learn about the lure. I believe everyone had a good time.
Our next Fun Run is scheduled for October 11.
