Meet the breeder

I'm Laurie Y., the breeder behind Emerald City Borzoi located in Canandaigua, NY.

Q. & A. with Laurie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had a female dog that I had imported and a professional handler saw her and knew of a client that was looking for the perfect match to her boy. So far out of that litter, 5 of the 5 pups have gotten points towards their championships with one finishing his AKC championship at one year of age.
  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs live in my home with us, the pups have plenty of outdoor space to run in fenced in area, I focus on quality, breeding for betterment of the breed. I am not a volume breeder nor would I ever want to be. I produce sound pups with joyful dispositions that are up for adventure whether in competition or out on a trail walk.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
