This special re-print edition of the First Edition of Joseph Thomas' book "Observations on Borzoi, Called in America Russian Wolfhounds" has not been available to fans of this breed since it first appeared on the scene back in 1912. This famous work on this breed offers a unique look at the early history of the Borzoi and how they were handled in his day, taking the form of a series of letters between Joseph Thomas and an unidentified party. Mr. Thomas explains, in great details, the history of the Borzoi breed, its sub-breeds, how they were bred in Russia and how this legendary dog breed came to be in the United States, England and elsewhere.

These became part of the founding of the Borzoi breed in the United States. The demand for this rare book by this famous breeder and importer has brought forth the much needed reprint of this famous classic work on Borzoi or Russian Wolfhounds.
