Kouros aka Cosaque du Pré du Château was my first borzoi and came to me at 26 months of age from his breeder Valérie Sauveur on 11th Feb 2006.

He was a lovely boy, a real showman even though he was not show qualtity, in retrospect sadly.

He featured in calenders in the Czech Republic for my friend and semi-proffessional photographer Mirka Rueda.

Kouros passed away on 1st April 2014 of Degenerative Lumbar Stenosis. He is sadly missed

I Loved You Best

 

So this is where we part, My Friend,

and you'll run on, around the bend,

gone from sight, but not from mind,

new pleasures there you'll surely find.

 

I  will go on, I'll find the strength,

life measures quality, not its length.

 

One long embrace before you leave,

share one last look, before I grieve.

 

There are others, that much is true,

but they be they, and they aren't you.

 

And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,

will remember well all you've taught.

 

Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,

the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.

 

And as you journey to your final rest,

take with you this..I loved you best
