Possessor of one of the greatest records in dog show history is a sleek, snow-white Borzoi (Russian wolfhound) named Vigow of Romanoff, owned by Louis J. Murr of Spring Valley, N. Y. In his first appearance, at the 1934 Washington show, Vigow took best in his breed's novice class, went straight up through best of breed and best in the hound group to be chosen best in show. Since then he has been entered in 56 shows, been judged best of breed 56 times, best hound 50 times, best in show 14 times. A cocker spaniel, Torohill...
