Zoiboyz
Meet the breeder
I'm KC T., the breeder behind Zoiboyz located in Peyton, CO. At Zoiboyz, we place great emphasis on athleticism, character, soundness, and beauty. We have reached AKC Breeder of Merit Silver status. We use BetterBred and UC Davis' genetic diversity program to test all of our dogs. It is an important goal of ours to maintain a healthy and diverse population in the Borzoi Fancy. Puppies are matched to potential owners based on the personalities we see as they go through Puppy Culture training. We also begin with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) from birth to help each puppy gain confidence in the world around them. We work on basic training commands and expose puppies to lots of different people. Our puppies' health and well-being are our top priority and we do everything we can to ensure each puppy is healthy, happy, and ready for their new home.
Q. & A. with KC
Why did you start breeding?
We want to do our part to better the breed. Our breeding program focuses on maintaining the unique characteristics specific to Borzoi while striving to produce puppies of superior strength, speed, and intelligence. We take great pride in our dogs and their excellent character, health, and performance achievements. We aim to produce incredible dogs who will excel in any venue. Our dogs are very special and dearly loved and we are excited to share them with you!What makes your program special?
We have over 20 years of experience and with that, we bring exceptional knowledge and skills to our program. At Zoiboyz, we are committed to only producing a litter when our breeding dogs meet or exceed the guidelines for quality that are essential to improving this incredible breed. We hold ourselves to the highest standards and aim to achieve excellence in every aspect of our program.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
