My own salukihistory
started 1969 when my parents bought their first Saluki, Aisha, to our
family. So I can say that I have grown up with Salukis since I was a
little girl. Aisha was most cherished as a familymember and my
parents never shown her so I didnīt really learn about the breed until I
was able to buy my own Saluki. I did look back in pedigrees, at the age of
twelve I think, and then found out that Aishas grand grandmother was the
famous Ch Burydown Freyha.
Freyha looked so gorgeous to me and I always admired the Burydowns since
then.Since then I have been taking active part of the dog world, taking my
Salukis, and a period of my life; my Whippets to shows, training obedience
and 1998 I judged Salukis for the first time and so far, the only time, at
the Khalils Day. Which is a unofficial saluki show held at home at the
Khalils Saluki kennel for their breedings mostly. I had a entry of 52
Salukis and I really enjoyed it. I myself have been active member in The
Swedish Kennel Club, and board member in The Swedish Sighthound Club and
from 2002 in The Swedish Saluki Club. 2005 I also become one of the
editors for our club magazine Salukibladet. 2006/2007 I went through the
Swedish Kennelclubs breeder education and got diplomas for all six courses.
In the end of 2007 I also went to a course and got certified as
showorganizer by the Swedish Kennelclub. In October 2009 I judged Salukis for the second time. This was at the unofficial Salukishow at Lekåsa arranged by The Swedish Salukiclub. I enjoyed every minute of the day and had a entry of 51 Salukis.
