Evelyn Kirsch, "Ischyma" Borzoi, Germany

My husband Frank, my 4 Borzois and I, live in Pattensen near Hannover.

It was in my childhood that my enthusiasm for the Borzoi began. But my first borzoi came into our family to live with us, shortly after my marriage 1991. At that time I also became a member of the DWZRV (German Sighthoundclub) and started enjoying shows at home and abroad.

It is really my passion to work for and with Sighthounds in order to preserve our breeds in its aristocratic form.

My first Borzoi litter in my kennel ‘Ischyma‘ was born in 1998. Our borzois are international successful, and have won different championships, groups and BIS. I am glad that Ischyma Borzois have influence in breeding internationally. In 1997 we started the quarterly magazine ‚‘European Borzoi – The Borzoi in Europe‘ that was published as a yearbook later. By working for this magazine I was able to make and establish many contacts and friendships at home and abroad. We travelled to different countries and took part in important sighthoundshows and then reported on them.

Since several years I’m also working in different responsibilities for the DWZRV (German Sighthoundclub) for all Sighthoundbreeds.

In 2016 I started as FCI-judge - first for Borzoi and Greyhound and later also for Afghan hounds, Saluki and Italian Greyhound.

I feel very honored to be invited to judge at the valuable and over the years famous „Skokloster Summershow“. Thank you very much!
