A life of a breeder…
A life of a breeder is a long list of searching, planning and waiting…. Searching for the best match for your bitch – I have no clue how many hours I spent searching through data bases, reading pedigrees, staring at pictures, watching videos to see movements, talking with fellow breeders, all in a search for that perfect match that feels right in the heart. What usually happens is that when I find a boy that I like he is too close relative to my bitch. This is nothing strange as we all have types we love and are looking for.…

Happy weekend dear readers!
On Sunday it will be six months since Dottie’s last heat. So now we are really close to it. Or not. It was seven months between her two last heats so she really knows how to keep me on my toes. I just hope that she can wait until we visit Växjö International dog show where I hope that she will get her last CACIB. It would be so nice if she could add International Beauty Champion (C.I.B) to her titles before she becomes a mother.

Beautiful Oman
I received this picture of beautiful Oman – father to be of our planned litter, from his owner Barbara. I find him very beautiful and I am so longing to meet him. And as I know how all of you that are waiting for these puppies must feel, as I have been there myself several times, I would also like to share an update of where Dottie is when it comes to her heat. For now we are still waiting for her to get in heat. She usually gets in heat a week or so after her mother Oonah. And…

Family bonds that grew stronger
One day short of seven years ago David and I met the most loving saluki puppy in the world together with her breeder Sven for the very first time. This puppy was Amal Hayati Oonah Nadira Al Jameelah “Oonah”. Since the first time our eyes met I knew that she would be special to me as I already then felt the unconditional love towards her. Her breeder was lovely too and we were very glad to become a part of Amal Hayati’s extended family. And what an adventurous seven years it has been! SBIS winner, C.I.B, SE CH, DK CH and…

Vet check done!
Vet check done! Time to go home. The little ones were as relaxed at the vet clinic as they are on this picture taken just prior to us driving home. Or almost as relaxed. They were not sleeping when getting their first check and vaccines as well as the ID chip but they did behave very well.
