My left us this Thursday the 30th November, she had 12 years of age.
Our queen is no longer with us 💔 I always used to sing for her “You are my sunshine”, now my sweet sunshine is gone.
Our beloved My - may you run free and be with your best friend Odysseia. There will never be such kindness and grace ever again. You were royal and one of a kind. I will always love you. Thank you for giving us the privilege to have you in our life. We miss you deeply and in complete agony.

Thank you Anders and Liz-Mari for letting us be with her for so many years❤️

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You’ll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
💔

Sadly our dear Ivy is not pregnant this time.
We are very sad about this since we had such big hopes and plans. But we hope we will have better luck next time.

Thanks to everyone that showed interest in our litter plans. Hopefully, we will give you good news later on.

This Tuesday was the day we went to do the ultrasound on the advice of our vet. It was day 20 from the insemination and 21 from the day we took that progesterone test that resulted in us packing the car a few hours after for a long trip.

Ivy has been showing all typical signs of pregnancy but still we are not sure if we will have puppies in April or not. Anyway, the screen showed us an empty uterus and of course we all got sad.

Our vet recommended us to come back next week to be fully sure.

Of course this news hit us hard but that is how the life of a breeder is; ups and downs.

BUT according to saluki breeders - they can be little tricky! Our breeder have got a negative result on day 21, 24 and even day 28 but still got little puppies 😳

So Saluki breeders does the ultrasound on day 30 and not a day before.

Could it be we are lucky or not?

We will now next Friday!

When we got home from the vet, Ivy went directly to rest. When it was time for her to eat - she didn't want to eat... also a sign of pregnancy.

But as I said before, it can also be a false pregnancy.

Not easy!

So let's keep our fingers crossed a little bit longer!

22/02/2023

Soon soon!

Most dogs start to show signs of pregnancy when they only want to cuddle and are not so fond of big activities. With a Saluki, it is not so easy because most of the time they are calm indoors and just want to cuddle. It is mostly when they are outside you can see the difference. Ivy doesn't want to....

10/02/2023

It is now time to keep our fingers crossed 🤞 and hope we will have little saluki puppies in April 2023!

Last weekend we were at Santarem show and we showed our girls and boy. It was a very special weekend since the Sighthound club also had the Speciality Club show "Monografica".
I couldn't be more happy with all our results and winnings. We got 4 new winner titles and 1 Portugue Champion.
We haven't showed our girl Luna that much since we have focused on Ivy for a while. So on the speciality club we only entered Luna and the judge was very stricted. Therefore just winning the Excellent was a big winning for us. Later winning the QC and also the Breed - well, it was a special feeling. I'm very happy that Lunas Portuguese Championship was on that show!

Later on we also tried a Beatrice Lure Coursing machine and our Draco loved it! What a natural talent!
We want to get the lure coursing sport in Portugal and therefore made a group to start with, you are all welcome to support us! https://www.facebook.com/groups/3511780925721162
Thank you Beatrice and Augusto for this amazing teamwork and I'm looking very much forward to what the future will bring!

Thanks to all friends for the 4 wonderful days filled with love, joy and lots of laughter. In especially to Inês Rato, Rui Alves Monteiro - Mont'Alves and Björn Fritz.

When the kids want to watch TV and our furbabies are sleeping on the couch

- How are Salukis with children? - Well, the answer is simple - how is the children with dogs? It is actually as simple as that, a lot depends on how the child is towards animals. Have they been taught that a dog is not a toy? What about knowing the different signals a dog makes when feeling happy o...

We are so happy to announce a once in a lifetime combination! Our sweet Ivy will be mated with the legendary Jidu.
We have always admired him and wanted to meet him for many years. Since he lives in Colombia, this was not an easy task. Luckily he came to the World Winner show in Madrid and we were able to see him. A magnificent male with many qualities and a wonderful character. He won two days in Madrid and became World Winner 2020.
Jidu and Ivy is a perfect match in pedigree, looks and temperament. We hope that they will pass on their qualities and give us many little ones.
The combination is possible thanks to good friends and breeders we respect. Thank you all for making this combination possible.

Yesterday we had a lovely day at Alto Alentejo in Portugal! It was lovely to meet all friends again after such long time. The show was well organized by a super teamwork, thank you 🥰
We showed Draco for the first time and it went great! He was so happy to meet so many peoole and wanted to play with all dogs 😂 I must really say I'm impressed he took his first show so well, considering he is over a year old and haven't attended any dog show before. Simon, you've done a great job in training him as puppy ❤
All our furbabies got super critic and both judges and visitors complimented for their lovely mentality 🥰 We are so proud ❤
Thanks to our dear breeders Liz-Mari, Anders and Simon for doing the best for the breeds and combine both beauty with good mentality ❤

So, the results! I can only say; AAAAAAA OH MY GOD 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😂😂😂😂😂

And to think that Bob was terrified of our dogs before. No wonder, it took me months to teach the salukis not to chase him. They saw our old cat as a member of the pack. When Bob came into the family they only saw him as a rabbit with short ears.
After 6 months of DAILY training, they accepted him as a friend inside the house. It took me another 6 months more to be able to have them outside together. To teach a cat not to run as soon as the dogs came to see who he was, was really not easy. And anyone that has a saluki knows that when a cat starts to run - it is game over since the dogs become hunters directly. So yeah, I get super proud when I see my little babies together like this! ❤ They have now been best friends 15 months 🤩
