I'm Marie A., the breeder behind Agust Borzoi located in Washougal, WA. Agust Borzoi started one day many, many years ago, when I was 11. My sister enrolled in a local 4-H dog club with our family pet. On a fateful day of dog training, the club leader had a visitor. In the back of the visitor’s van were two amazing, magnificent dogs. I was awestruck and started dreaming that maybe someday I could have such an aristocratic beauty in my life. I now breed for performance, conformation, loving pet prospects, with health checks in pedigree. Good temperaments are extremely important.
Q. & A. with Marie
Why did you start breeding?
I met a lot of well-bred dogs, and saw opportunities to produce quality and to share the love of the breed!
What makes your program special?
I try to be what any breeder should be. I study pedigrees, I study health records. I do health tests. I give puppies the best opportunity for success that I can. I do a lot of various things, exposing the pups to a wide diversity of experiences, so when they go to their new homes, they will be confident, and ready for whatever the new owners might ask of them!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
