Morgandell Borzoi and Silken Windhounds
Morgandell Borzoi was founded in the seventies as a small hobby kennel dedicated to Borzoi. Bill and
Cyndi met at the 1986 Nationals in Olympia Washington and so 20 years later when we both found
ourselves single, it was decided to pool our resources. Cyndi joined Bill and his Auburn Borzoi in the
Sierra foothills in 2004. We are just a hop over the hill from Reno.
The last Morgandell Borzoi litter was whelped in Washington before the move to California. Three of
those, CJ and Kennedy amd Harmony came to California. The two girls have now traveled back to the
state where they were whelped.
Silken Windhounds had already captured Cyndi's attention in 2003 after meeting a few of Chris
Swilley's youngsters in Minnesota. While they will not replace our love of Borzoi, they are here to stay.
