Sisters
Dottie and Lo, sisters we kept from our first saluki litter. They are always together and if one of them is not in the house, which happens when we deliberately take only one out for training for example, the other one is crying after her sister most of the time. They are sisters and very beautiful but still quite different in their look and how they move. I love them both equally as they remind me about the type diversity of saluki breed.

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.

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…

These two…
Almost weekend and I am spending my evening with these two lovely girls by my side planning for this year’s dog shows. With COVID restrictions gone in Denmark and here in Sweden we hope that there will be larger number to participate in this year compared with what was there the last two.

Heat
As you all know by now we are waiting for Oonah to start with her heat. So as soon as I see a drop of blood on the floor I get excited. Is it her? Are we there now? So when I saw the first drop of blood, two weeks ago, I already saw Oonah’s and Milan’s puppies being born. Unfortunately it was not her blood, it was Heidi’s. A couple of days went by and then new blood drops and my hopes woke up again just to disappear in a puff of smoke minutes later. It was not Oonah,…

Evening play
One evening, maybe a week ago, we happen to meet our neighbours’ lovely young dog Milou. It was fun to watch him play with our young girls.
