Unique ZoitiquesBy Cindy Michalak
Continued on page 30
With no rhyme nor reason for my column this month, I chose to write about Goldscheider figurines. While I normally write about seven items per issue, I happened to have nine different
Goldscheiders, so please bear with me as I add two additional stat-ues to this issue.
In 1885, Friedrich Goldscheider founded the Goldscheider and Majolica Factories in Vienna. In 1938 the Goldscheider fam-ily emigrated to the UK and USA where two brothers, Walter and Marcel, each opened a ceramic factory. Several of the Goldscheider artists eventually worked at places such as Augarten, Keramos, Rosenthal and Meissen. The company used a large G with Goldscheider circled beneath that for their mark. Later on Goldscheider added the name Everlast or Goldcrest. The
Goldscheider broth-ers passed away
in the early 1960s.
This is the smallest Borzoi
figurine (that I am aware of) produced by Goldscheider
and has the Goldcrest m a r k . Measuring 5½″ the
ceramic mate- rial is very easily bro-ken. I have three of these figurines and I believe two are broken at an ankle
and one i s mint. These are one of the easi- est to find out of
all of the Goldscheiders, although not truly common. Value on these is around $50-$75.
Mexico and USA both produced a copy of this next Goldscheider piece. However, if you look at them side by side, you can tell that the Goldscheider is more refined in looks, but the piece itself weighs a lot. Measuring 13″ x 6½″, this has the newer Everlast mark. Lying with mouth open panting, this is probably one of the least desired of all. I believe this is due to the copies which are readily available. However, the Goldscheider is much more collectable and should fetch at least $75.
The next two statues I believe to be the earliest Goldscheiders. The
ceramic is lightweight
and the figures them-selves are much more
refined. It is very rare to see a Goldscheider placed
upon a base but the base itself is marked with the Goldscheider stamp as well as Made in Austria
etched into the ceramic, which indicates the base is original to the statue. This measures 14″ long x 7½″ tall. As one of the rarer earliest pieces, the value on this is approximately $175.
This next one has the same mark and engravings as the prior one. My thinking is that it was made as a mate to the
standing-on-base Borzoi. Measuring 12½″ long x 5″ tall, it is also a hard to find figure and should be valued around $150.
While not a real exciting piece, this is probably one of the rarest ones. I have never come across another Goldscheider like this. It stands 7½″ tall x 8″ long and has only the “G” on the bot-tom of a foot, so it’s hard to tell if it was made in Vienna, the UK or USA. Value is higher on this than one may think due to the availability or lack thereof, and I would guess $150 would be a reasonable price.
Maybe it’s just me, but the figurine here is one I refer
to as the boa con-strictor Borzoi. I say
that because the neck ruff is accentuated at
the sides making it look like a boa ready to strike. One
of the older Goldscheider’s it has the Made in Austria mark. Measuring 10″ x 13″,

2015 Open Field Coursing Annual ReportBCOA member-owned Borzoi
Submitted by Karen Ackerman
For 2015, the Top Open Field Courser was Zagaday owned by Yvonne McGehee and Olga Zilberman. Zagaday defeated 53 hounds to earn this honor. Due to lack of subscription, the Borzoi Blast Off was not held this spring. The Borzoi Fall Classic was held in November in Shirley Basin, Wyoming. Entries closed with a limit of twelve. The winner of the Fall Classic is owned by a non-BCOA member and a BCOA member. The Borzoi resides with the non-BCOA member, though bred by Sandra Moore. During 2015 approxi-mately fifty Borzoi competed in the open field. The points and placements listed below are only indicative of BCOA member-owned Borzoi and therefore, not indicative of all open field Borzoi.

The Importance of Good Sportsmanshipby Ron Williams
When I was first introduced to the world of show-ing dogs, I had no idea of the complexity of this sport. I was in my mid-twenties and very active participating in other sports. Therefore, success in this “so-called-sport” should be automatic...NOT!
I quickly found out that being an athlete wasn’t the key to success! Whether the dog is of high or medium quality, you still need to know what to do with it. You need to know how to show off their attributes and hide their faults. You need to know what to do when your dog sur-prises you and doesn’t behave as they do every time at home.
I strongly believe most people entering the world of dog showing find out very quickly, as I did, how complex handling a dog can be. Many of these folks don’t have access to classes, or knowledgeable and good-hearted friends who are ring savvy. In some breeds, a profes-sional handler friend told me, if you’re not in the clubs, or in some-one’s camp, you’re rarely spoken to. He proceeded to say the Borzoi ring is a joy, because there’s a general love for the breed and respect for each other. I agreed.
I was lucky to have access to advantages that many do not. I was introduced to dog shows by Dr. Alfred Edlin, a breeder/judge. We went to handling classes during the winter. In the warmer months we rotated classes at the homes of people like Barbara Skinner, Carol Kubiak Zamora, Angela and Peter San Palo, Jim Heard and the late Barry Ellison. At these classes we evaluated the dogs and handlers and went through actual ring situations. We even video taped some of the classes and studied them afterwards over coffee and pastries. For a rookie like me, this was such a valuable and wonderful experience.
Still, the best experience is the ring! In my early days, Fred had told me to watch certain handlers in the ring. Notice how they handle tem-porary misbehaving dogs and how they get the most out of their dogs. You’ll also notice, they’ll do a fair amount of winning or placements. I
always had someone at ringside to answer any questions I might have. I took all this experience and knowledge into the ring with me and felt fairly comfortable until one day, Fred says “I entered two shows on the same day. You’re going south and I’m going north.” SOLO??? PANIC!!!!!
Without my security blanket, I nervously arrived at ringside. While waiting for judging, I suddenly started to question everything I thought I knew. Are bitches judged before dogs, what’s the order of the classes, what’s the name of this dog at the end of the lead? Seeing a familiar face (Karen Staudt Cartabona) eased some of my nervous-ness. She asked, “Where’s Fred?” I told her, “I’m going solo today!” She smiled.
Once judging started, Karen made sure I knew when to go in, which I soon was to discover, was the same class as she. Then she wished me good luck! She really made me feel at ease. I took the points that day! The last thing Karen said to me was “make sure you bring a catalog back to Fred. He’d want to know the results of the show today.”
I thought my experience that day was just wonderful. A fellow com-petitor making sure I presented my dog the best I could. To this day I try to be a friendly and helpful competitor to all my co-exhibitors.
So you see, I’ve been lucky to be surrounded by people who wanted me to do the best I can do! They are all lovers of Borzoi and appreci-ate when a dog is presented well.
There are many new faces each year in the show ring. We as lovers of the breed need to embrace them and make them feel at home. Should we approach someone when show after show they obviously have no clue on how to present their dog? If nothing else we should at least suggest handling classes and match shows. A tactful, goodhearted approach with a smile goes a long way.

Open Preferred FAST 20”The FAST class is scored a bit differently. Instead of starting with 100 points (clean run) and and having points deducted along with time faults, each team runs to accumulate as many points (each obstacle is worth a certain number of points) along with completing a bonus. The team is awarded a qualifying score with a score equivalent to the points earned minus any time faults.

it is one of the harder to find statues and valued at about $130.
When I look at this piece closely, it surely looks like a small version of my next two huge pieces. Another harder to find figure, it mea-
sures 7″ tall and 9″ long. While I don’t recall see-
ing these as separate figures, it doesn’t mean they’re not out there. Beautifully
done, with the Made in Austria mark, I value this double
Goldscheider at $200.
A huge and very heavy ceramic figurine, this Goldscheider resem-bles the second one in this column but the mouth is closed and the head is better proportioned. This is actually one of the newer (but
still old) statues since the mark is Goldscheider USA Everlast Corp. It measures a mag-nificent 17” long x 8” tall. With it being so large, it is difficult to fit it in even the largest cabinet you may
have. However, for me – where there’s a will, there’s a way. Very difficult to find due to the size and I value this at $400.
Best for last is this stunning Borzoi by Goldscheider that has a lit-tle more animation to it by looking backwards. The tail is tremen-dously long the way you’d hope your real Borzoi would have. It measures 14” tall x 12” long. This also has the Goldscheider USA Everlast Corp mark, but on another foot, there is the word “Great” in the same coloring as the other marks; however I cannot

make out what is after that. Maybe it said Great Britain, but I have no way of confirming that as I’ve never
seen that before. Huge and very desirable, I value this at $500.
Some may think of the Goldscheiders as drab and boring due to the lack of extreme hair sculpt-
ing, but I give them credit for producing so many different Borzoi figurines. They do seem to favor the black and white Borzoi . Maybe that’s the only color t h e y ever saw. Collecting is a personal preference; what one person admires in a sculpture, another may not agree with. Whatever you choose to collect is up to you. The main thing is to have fun collecting and enjoy the breed that you love so much.
