Dogs have been part of my life since my childhood. First we had a Cocker Spaniel and later lovely and kind female Rottweiler. After I moved from home, my parents bought a Miniature Pinscher.
With Salukis I have lived already almost 55 years. Many years our oldest daughters Jack Russell Terrier stayed wuith us and it thought it was a Saluki as well. I bred Salukis with preix Sfinksin during 1973 – 1983 and two males from my first litter can be found in pedigrees of many Nordic Salukis and some British Salukis. They can be found even in the pedigree of the Saluki female we have now at home. My first judging appointment was in 1987 and during years I have judged in many European countries, USA and Australia. Whne I was younger I was very active in many kennel associations and clubs. Nowadays I spend my time with my grandchildren and doing gardening.
