Autumn

"Oh, what a bitch!...," began the critique of the judge who awarded Autumn BOW at the '99 Saluki Club of America National Specialty. Autumn earned half of her conformation title from the puppy class, finished at the National SCOA Specialty in an entry of 460+ Salukis, has numerous BOB wins, 2 Best in Specialties (one from the Veteran class) and two Group I’s as a Special. She earned all four field titles in the same year and has qualified for the Grand Course all 3 years run in open field competition. She finished her CD with 6 qualifying scores, including 2 Specialty High in Trials and was the ‘03 recipient of ASA’s Rancho Gabriel and Chamois trophies for excellence in obedience performance. Noted for her outstanding movement, overall balance and classic type, we could not ask for a more loving companion. 


English Ch. Timaru Valkyrie of Jazirat

Kyrie

"I wish all Salukis were like this. As an import he must be an acqisition for the breed in this country. Graceful in appearance, perfectly balanced, with a soft silky textured coat he looked a picture and his smooth easy gait was flawless."
Leonard Pagliero, Hound Show 2000
 English breeders Joanne and Paul Mahon and Ken and Diana Allan (Jazirat) reserved a puppy from Espirit's first litter a year before they were born. Exported to England at the age of 18 months, Kyrie is only the third American-bred Saluki ever to achieve an English championship. He won his first CC under hound specialist Carla Molinari at the Hound Ass. of Scotland. His second CC and BOB in an entry of 110 Salukis, was awarded by Nick Bryce-Smith at Houndshow 2000. He went on to win Reserve Best in Show from an entry of over 2650 hounds under judge Leonard Pagliero. His progeny are making their mark in England, Scandanavia, Holland, Canada and the U.S.  In 2004, Kyrie's son won the C.C. at the world famous Crufts show and in 2006, another son repeated the achievement. Kyrie has been awarded Top Sire in England by the Saluki or Gazelle Hound Club for the excellence of his offspring for 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, an unprecedented achievement.
 Owned by Joanne Mahon, Holland.


Am/Can Ch. Timaru Vaya Lorrequer

Vaya
Vaya followed her sister's example by taking Winner's Bitch at the SCOA National Speciality in an entry of 480 Salukis in 2001 and then finished her title at the 2001 SCOA Western Regional Specialty. Her Canadian title was earned with a BOS (over Specials) at the Saluki Club of Canada Specialty. She followed this win by taking Best of Breed at the SCOC Specialty the following year. Vaya was #1 Saluki in both the Canadian Amateur Racing Association's Straight and Oval Races in 1999. She was bred to Ch. Baklava's Rafi Rasil of Khiva in 2001 and has several champion offspring to her credit from this litter. Owned by Lin Jenkins Hawkyard, Beeton, Ontario, Canada.


Ch. Timaru Vin Blanc

Plum
Plum has more than exceeded every expectation we had for her. She acquired her first two points her first show weekend when she was 7 months old. She followed that with back-to-back 5 point majors at the Detroit KC TSE her second weekend out when she was 10 months. She took a year off to grow up and on her first outing of 1999, placed 2nd in a large and very competitive class at the Nationals.  She then finished in style at her very next show with a 4 point major. Owned by Jaqi Terhaar, Chicago, Ill.


Ch. Timaru Vivia Resounding

Vivia
Vivia finished her championship at 16 months of age and began her Specials career at the age of 2½  years. Her light, floating gait complements her sound and balanced conformation and she is a joy to behold whether in the ring or in the backyard. The year 2000 brought her 17 BOB's and a Group II. In 2002, Vivia was bred to her sire, Ch. Timaru Zephyrus, CD, SC, which produced a litter of 1, Ch. Legend's Winged Messenger, owned and bred by Debbie Sanford. In 2003, Vivia produced a litter of four sired by Int'l Ch. Baghdad's Globetrotter. Owned by Debbie Sanford, Susan Salladay and Lesley Brabyn.



Ch. Timaru Velocity

Jasper
Jasper finished his championship by winning back-to-back 4 point majors at TSE supported events. Not a dog to rest on his laurels, he was the subject of a book celebrating the Saluki called Putting on the Dog; Digital Photographs and Canine Wisdom, published by Wave Publishing in December, 2000. Sound, elegant and glamorous, Jasper's joie d'vivre  makes him a shining star whether on the beach, in the show ring or on our couch. Owned by Carol Doumani, Venice, CA.
