The Brightster has made us proud
by being the second of our dogs to win the NACA Borzoi Fall Classic
2-day open field coursing event
in 2001!!! :-) Brighty, ya go gal!!
Brighty finished her NOFCA titles
in 7 hunts with 2 UK's.
Title date 1-12-2002.
She was the #1 NOFCA borzoi for
2001-2002.
She was also the BCOA Top Open
Field Coursing Borzoi in 2001.
The #2 and BOS NOFCA borzoi for
that season was her housemate, Falco.

Brighty was the breed winner and
High Scoring Borzoi in the 2002 Grand Course,
and finished 11th out of 63 total
entrants.
Her 2002--2003 season was equally
successful; she had another UK, again
finished the season as the #1 NOFCA
borzoi, again won the breed hunt and
High Scoring Borzoi at the 2003
Grand Course, and made it to
#10 in the Grand Course, an honor
few borzoi have achieved.
She finished the season the #4
NOFCA hound, all breeds;
and was the BCOA Top Open Field
Coursing Borzoi again in 2002.
She was RWB to a 5 point major at
the spring 2002 BCNC Specialty
and also 4th place open bitch at
the 2003 BCOA National Specialty.
Brighty finished her third season
as the 2003-2004 #1 NOFCA Borzoi
and the 2003 #1 BCOA Open Field
Coursing Borzoi for the third consecutive year.
She attained her 500 point and
500 breed point NOFCA awards.
She again finished the season as
the #4 NOFCA hound all breeds,
and was High Scoring Borzoi at
the 2004 Grand Course.
Brighty continued to be in the NOFCA
Top 10 borzoi for her fourth and fifth seasons,
2004-2005 and 2005-2006. In Feb
2005 she was 1st on one of the two days of the large Borzoi Blast-Off.
In May 2006, Brighty took 3 majors
with 2 BOB over a male special,
finishing under judge George Bell.
She joins the ranks of the very few borzoi
who have achieved both the Ch and
CC and CM titles.
In Feb 2007, at 7 years of age,
Brighty was 2nd in the borzoi breed hunt at the invitational
Grand Course. She also won her
prelims both days and placed at the Borzoi Blast-Off.
Many thanks go to Linda for giving Miss Brighty opportunity to shine.

"This evening, while Anna
was taking
a swim and KD trailing behind
me, Bubba and the Brightster were up ahead
looking for "Peter Cottontail".
I could see Bubba get up a chase with
Brighty right beside him. They
took the cottontail down into the
creekbed then I heard a cry. Not
a puppy cry. A bunny cry. Up comes
Bubba and no bunny. Up comes Brighty
with the bunny in her mouth. She
was sooooooo proud. She held on
to that bunny the rest of the way back
to the truck
while KD and Anna worked on her to drop the dead bunny. She
never did. Only until we scared
up another bunny did she drop her catch".
