Vallti was bred by Minna & Milja Saarinen, Rajalinjan Borzoi, and I will be forever grateful to Minna for letting me having and enjoying such precious, wonderful friend. Vallti arrived in Italy as a seven months old pup, on 1994, April 24th. Exactly four years later, one the same day, he was awarded of the title of FCI European Winner 1998, under the well known borzoi specialist Mrs. Anita Gielisse.

There're not enough words to show how much Vallti has been important in my life, both as breeder and exhibitor and simply as borzoi owner; he has simply fullfilled all my dreams and of course I consider him my one in a life time.Vallti had the true champion marks in the ring, an effortless and wonderful mover, but he was also the sweetest borzoi I shared my life with. His precious legacy goes on through his son, his daughters and all Stepnykh Almazov Borzoi, since all of them descend from him, that's why he is always with us, maybe grinning as he was used to do, waiting for the day we will be together again.

Vallti sired our KB and NA litter; he also sired a litter at Wolkowo kennel on 1998
