An article written by Lillian Moeran for Outing Magazine in 1902 is posted for your reading enjoyment:

Mrs. Moeran was a successful dog breeder and handler and associated with the Ladies Kennel Association of American. She wrote magazine articles about various dog breeds. Her writing style, although colloquial, displayed a knowledge about dog breeds, breeding, and handling/exhibiting in the United States. A photo of Mrs. Moeran and her toy spaniels is found in the article.
A few days ago, I contacted the Ladies Kennel Club of Long Island via email. I sent them the photo of the Borzoi, Michael Strogoff, from one of their early dog shows. My question to them was whether they had any information about his lineage/pedigree and whether there were any Borzoi remaining from Michael Strogoff's lineage? I have not heard from them.....
