Auroral Kennel is located on 10 acres in Michigan.
Having grown up with Poodles, a Springer Spaniel and a Newfoundland, Jon got his first Borzoi
in 1986 and soon after Jennifer became an integral part of Auroral.

Together, Jon & Jenni have produced multiple Best in Show, Multiple Best in Specialty,
and Multiple Group Winning, Multiple Top Ten Borzoi.

In 2009, BIS MBISS Am. Can. Ch. Auroral’s Across Time Sirius “Ace” retired
the Dr. Charles Conally Memorial Challenge Trophy. Jon & Jenni have re-donated the
trophy to the Midwest Borzoi Club, and remains the Dr. Charles Conally Memorial Challenge Trophy.
In 2004, BISS Am. Can. Ch. Auroral’s Avalanche retired the Insight Bred-By Exhibitor Trophy,
and in 2002 he retired the Carol Ann Stell Memorial Challenge Trophy.

We have been awarded the Hall of Fame "Breeder", and "Service" awards
from the Midwest Borzoi Club (MBC).

As members of MBC, and the Borzoi Club of America (BCOA), we abide by
their code of ethics in trying to produce a limited number of Borzoi that
exhibit the Auroral type, with emphasis on both sound movement and temperament.
We are also members of Michigan Hound Association.

Jon has served on both Boards of MBC & BCOA, and is an approved Breed Mentor.
He is currently the AKC Gazette Columnist for BCOA. You can read the
previously printed articles here on this website.
Jenni is currently MBC Vice President, and also Chairs a variety of other Committees,
including Specialty Show Chairman.

In 2007, Jon was nominated by "Dogs in Review" magazine,
as one of the 5 Top Owner Handlers in the U.S.

Jon is licensed to judge Borzoi, Papillons, Whippets, and Rhodesian Ridgebacks,
and shortly, Bassett Hounds, Dachshunds, Afghans, and Salukis.

We hope you enjoy a look at our present dogs and our cherished past friends.
