Happy News from Denmark!
Happy news from Danish Sighthound dog show in Strøby, DK where we went with Sommarvindens Wish Upon A Star *Lo* and Sommarvindens Star Of Milky Way *Dottie* for the first dog show of this year. I had huge expectations on Dottie but she was very tired, so intestead of her, it was Lo who managed to get BB-1 and BOS. Huge thank you to the judge, Mr. Martin Baskaran, ES. We also met this beautiful and very kind afghan junior that charmed both David and me a lot. And as if that wasn’t enough we also met a lovely Danish…

That moment…
That moment when you run so fast and then stop in a second just to discover that your ear didn’t follow what you were doing…

Who turned the heat on? :)
Finally, after long waiting, Oonah gave us the best ever Easter surprise by starting her heat today. We are all so looking forward to this litter to be. If things go well I believe she will be mated around 26th of April and give birth around 28th of June. This means that the puppies will be ready to move to their new families around 24th of August. If you are seriously interested in one of the puppies from this lovely combination, please send us an email via contact form or give us a call at +46 736 00 00 98.

Two more in heat
Earlier today Lo got in heat and in the evening we noticed that even our youngest, Bianca, is in heat. Of entire pack now only Tesla and Oonah have not started. Tesla is not so precise in her heats as she is an azawakh and they often get in heat just once a year but I am so sad that Oonah is being several weeks late with her heat. Now we hope that the other two will drag her into heat so to say.

Still waiting…
Still waiting for Oonah’s heat to start. But when one have a queen like her then one need to accept that she is the one deciding – always. 🙂

The queen of my heart
Oonah, the queen. The one and only is still keeping us waiting for her heat. For sure it can’t be so far away now. The rest of the pack is often sniffing her under her tail with a great interest and during our walks we can’t get more than a couple of meters before she needs to leave a pee for other dogs to find. From time to time I ask her if she is not interested in getting puppies again soon. She looks at me curiously but never answers. Maybe that is what is scaring her from getting in…

A dream
Apparently I am so longing for this lady to get in heat that I am now dreaming of it…. We were visiting parents of a friend. In the real life, these people have the cleanest house I have ever seen. We were enjoying some coffee in the sun on their veranda when I for some reason wanted to find Oonah. I went inside the house and saw that she was sleeping on their white sofa. She woke up when I entered the room and came to me leaving a huge spot of blood on their expensive sofa. I got so…

Still waiting for that heat
I am not really sure which is worse. Waiting for heat to start, waiting for the first signs of pregnancy or waiting for birth to start. There is only one thing that it sure and that is that there is a lot of waiting in the process of making a litter. Oonah is still not showing any signs of heat being there but she is very interested in leaving the trace after herself almost everywhere on our walks. This makes me hopeful as it usually is the first sign of the approaching heat.

Colour DNA of Lo and Dottie
As you most likely know by now both David and me are very interested in colour genetics of salukis. For this reason we colour test all our salukis. We already knew what Oonah’s colour code is so three weeks ago we ordered a test of her daughters Lo and Dottie and now we got the results. I would like to also mention that we always order colour tests from The Veterinary Genetics Laboratory (VGL). The VGL is a non-profit, self-supporting unit of the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis, US. Dottie’s colour code is: Eg/e – one…

New saluki litter plans
We are so excited to share with all of you our plans for the new saluki litter that we hope will happen late spring 2022. The mother will be our beutiful Oonah (C.I.B., DK CH, SE CH, ESH 2018, KBH W 2017, ST W 2017, CPH JW 2016 Amal Hayati Oonah Nadira Al Jameelah). We hope that she will get into heat in March. And the father to be is beautiful Milan (SE CH, DK CH Lags Latifha Laurian). Oonah is already health tested but we will do a new heart test as the old one is almost one year…
