Elena (Еле́на, pronounced Yelyena), kennel name Georwitch Just Sayin, is
a Borzoi born on 13 March 2021. We got her on 23 July 2021. She's our seventh Borzoi since returning to Australia (the others
being Zhivago, Nikolai, Tanya, Leonid, Sasha and her litter sister Larissa).
Here's her pedigree.
We've had trouble with her name. Initially we “officially” called her Elena, but that
seemed too complicated, so we dropped it. But then we discovered that her name was too
similar to Larissa's, so we changed
back again. And Yvonne doesn't like the “ye”, so she
pronounces it Yelena, which happens to be the Ukrainian pronunciation (Єлена). But as a
result, I have decided not to change the name of this page.
