Meet the breeder
I'm Kelley K., the breeder behind Luxor Borzoi located in Des Moines, IA. We breed to the standard set forth by the Borzoi Club of America. Our goal is to include elegance & athleticism with a dog that can both succeed in the show ring and on the coursing field. More importantly we strive to produce healthy, long-lived, and temperamentally sound borzois.
Q. & A. with Kelley
Why did you start breeding?
I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; that today’s breeders are the guardians of the future Borzoi. I wanted to do my part to better the breed. My breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the Borzoi while placing an emphasis on producing dogs of superior health, temperament, and conformation.What makes your program special?
All of my Borzoi puppies are produced from health tested and successful coursing/show lines. My breeding program works with a trusted mentor to ensure we are utilizing responsible breeding policies. I truly love the breed and am dedicated to learning from the present and improving for the future. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to have a borzoi in their home and become part of the Luxor family.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Borzoi
About Zen
Zen is a gentle giant who knows no personal space! He finished his championship at 8 months old going over multiple male specials. He finished his grand championship at 14 months. He's won multiple best in specialties under established breeder judges. He is one of only a few dogs who has attained his Best in Field, along with multiple best in specialty wins. Zen is a big goof and mostly a lazy couch potato most days.

Borzoi
About Evie
Evie has one of the best Borzoi temperaments I've ever met. She's clever, goofy, gorgeous and fit very easily into our house. She's confident in the situations she's put in and has passed that down to her puppy, Freebie. She's been a fantastic show dog winning at many specialties and has been a great lure coursing prospect as well!
