Rainbow Bridge
Over the 30+ years that I have now been owned by Salukis, there are a few who made a special impact on my life, and who figure strongly in my Saluki family. For the length of time, there is hardly space to put them all here. So I have handpicked a few *very special* ones to show that where I am now in the breed has come from a solid start, and breeding choices made along the way.

Breezy & Blossom figure in all my pedigrees to this day. Blos most recently |

Rafire died at just over 3 years old from cancer. She was a very special girl to me. |
|
"Somerset" was Rafire's daughter from mating Rafire back to her granddad "Gibby" (Ch Yasbiq Malik) She was mother to "Gem" |
"Lance" Always had something to say! |

Gem / Aust Ch Farousi Moorish Jewel : Jamilly / Ch Kiabe Jamila [ai]
These girls are behind most of our most recent, greatest achieving youngsters in our 30+ years in Salukis. Gem was very petite standing barely 24" - Jamila was a huge favourite amongst Junior Handlers |
I am indebted to Mike ("Wolfie") Charlton for the inspiration, idea & encouragement for the format of this webpage section Thanks Wolfie ! |
