I'm Justine S., the breeder behind Justart Borzoi located in Marysville, CA. Our dogs are bred with intention and care in every step of the process. We breed with a focus on temperament, health and structure. We are proud to produce top winning dogs for the sport of conformation, but are even prouder to be able to welcome such wonderful companions into your lives.
Q. & A. with Justine
Why did you start breeding?
We both enjoy showing and seriously studied Borzoi and later Silkens and English Setters. We moved to a 13 acre ranch with two kennels so as to provide our dogs enough space to enjoy their lives when at home. We so enjoy welcoming new babies and seeing how they grow-whether that is as an important part of your family or someone's special show dog.
What makes your program special?
Our facility is top notch, we have extensive experience, and spent years seeking out the best breeding stock before creating Justart in 2015. Our results speak for themselves. We always take our dogs back if your situation changes, but have rarely been asked to do so. We have bred, owned, or shown the Top Borzoi in the country 6 different times now. We have also bred lure coursing champions.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
