• Feeling grateful

    24th February 2019 /

    I can’t stop feeling grateful for all of you nice people that are showing your interest in Oonah and Chili’s future puppies. All of you that I talked with and that are seriously interested in a puppy from us are so kind, engaged and offer perfect homes. That makes me feel blessed. Thank you very much for your interest and patience! I can’t be 100 % sure when Oonah will get in heat but I so hope that it will be very soon.

  • Colour test results

This leaves me with not knowing anything at all about Chili’s colour code. As so the only thing I can…

Lucky for her I am not as pedantic as my parents as she would never be alowed into their home looking like this. UC Davis Veterinary genetics laboratory finally received the sample I sent them 8 days ago. Now it will only take 3-6 working days for them to…

    31st January 2019 /

    I know that it is not only me that is waiting for Oonah to get in heat, we are several that are waiting for that to happen. I don’t know what you are doing to get your time to go faster but for me there were some pleasant tasks I could do. One of them was to check which possible colours could Oonah’s and Chili’s puppies get. I will share my findings with you below, but first let me write a link to >>an article<< written by Caroline Coile that explains the basic genetics of saluki colours. It will help…

  • A beautiful morning

    14th January 2019 /

    This morning when we woke up a white suprise waited for us in the garden. It made some of us happy. The youngest ones love to run in the snow and I simply love that there is so much light.
