Rey and Yvonne McGehee
| Introduction | Yvonne was born in 1953, and grew up in NJ. She started learning about and training dogs in the 1960's. She and her collie Highground Tom Jones CD earned their first obedience title together in Feb of 1969. She acquired her first borzoi, Gervaise, of Twin Elms and Majenkir breeding, from Majenkir kennel in 1975. She was a student of the breed for 12 years before having her first litter, born in November of 1987. Since then, she has successfully coursed borzoi of her own breeding in several states. A dog of Valeska breeding, Valeska Unbridled Sea CC CM, has taken top breed honors for three consecutive years; 2001, 2002, and 2003. Yvonne is still a student of the breed, continuing to learn every day of her life spent with borzoi. Rey was born in 1956,and grew up in various states across the US. While Rey owned a horse boarding stable, he was discovered by Yvonne while hugging his Arab filly Pixie in the spring of 1992. He married into borzoi on July 17, 1993, and has been researching the history of the borzoi breed ever since, as well as actively coursing and writing about breed history and development. Rey and Yvonne now live with their borzoi on a small acreage. |
