Kay’s experience
About Kay
I am an Animal Scientist educated at Washington State University (BS), UC Davis (MS, PhD), and Cornell Veterinary School (Post-Doc). I have owned Borzoi since 1970 and Greyhounds since 2001.
What makes Kay’s program special
I breed for sound minds and sound bodies. My dogs are beautiful, intelligent, and easy to live with. I try to raise them to be bomb proof.

Bringing your puppy home
Kay offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
Pick up your puppy in Alpine, CA or nearby
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“I will work with you to get your puppy transported to you, but it is your responsibilty to arrange transportation. You can arrange for a fight nanny, or ground. My preference is that you come to San Diego to get your puppy.”
More about Kay
Why Kay started breeding
I bred my first litter of Borzoi in 1976 and my second in 1992. I breed to have something to show and course. I bred my first Greyhound litter in 2005. I usually only breed my bitches once, since litters are a lot of work.
