In the Nursery/

After much thought we decided to mate Jaida’s daughter Rekhmarah, sister to Ranee to Mumtaz Khamsin of Timellie, a very successful youngster by Ch Nefisa Bushrah of Saruk ex Ch Mumtaz Desdemona. Bushrah is currently the top winning Saluki in the UK.
‘ Amber’ surprised us with a beautiful litter of 9, creams, black fringed fawns and a black fringed red and some male puppies may be available to approved homes. Our last litter was born nearly 7 years ago and this will probably be our final Saluki litter.

For more news and photos of this litter please look at the Latest Litter under the Litters link above

The mating which produced Hannah was repeated by Anne McIntosh and the puppies will be shown in England Europe and America, we wish them success.

A Sad Farewell

In September we had to make the decision to say farewell to our dearly loved Ch Altaya Jaida Maria who was 12 years old. Jaida had bounced back from two multiple mastectomies and was in great form and we really thought that we would have her for a few years more sadly cancer proved us wrong.
Jaida had a fantastic temperament and was a joy to live with and show, her type and movement took her to the top and highlights of her show career were BOB at Crufts and RBIS Hound Association Ch Show.

We have enjoyed showing our Papillon, Zinnia, Alwenil Skips Butterfly for Altaya, who is very affectionate and great fun to live with, next year we hope that she might have a companion of her own size. In the meantime she has fun with her best friend Hannah
