I travelled to Sweden in February 2001 to see a borzoi litter growing up with a White bengali tiger cub. That was a litter of 4 males and 8 females with an excellent pedigree, a combination of  Swedish (Leicro's), Central European (Orlow, v Triumfus Dyonisos, v Troybhiko), English (Colhugh, Rothesby) and American (Stillwater) lines. Typewise these lines from different parts of the world would combine each other very well, I thought.

A month later Vito moved to our family in March 2001.

I showed Vito only once in junior class and after a 1,5 years break he entered the ring again in 2003 and with a bang! He competed five times in open class with results CAC, res-CAC, res-CAC, CAC, CAC > Finnish Champion.

Vito's show career in short:

• 2003 Finnish Champion from five shows
• # 2 Show Borzoi Male in 2004 in Finnish Borzoi Club's list
  CACIB, BOB, GROUP-4, several BOS, BM-3 in Finnish Borzoi Club's Speciality Show out of 41 males, Estonian Champion
• # 2 Show Borzoi Male in 2005 in FBC's list
  3 x CACIB, BOB, several BM placements
• # 1 Show Borzoi Male in 2006 and BOS Show borzoi in FBC's list
  3 x CACIB, several BOB, Group placements, 2 x GROUP-1,
  Latvian Champion, Swedish Champion & International Champion
