Born: February 16, 2007 Breeder: Ariane Failer, Mamnouna Salukis This is Wally....we imported him from one of the most successful top racing kennels in Germany. I had visited with Ariane Failer while working in Germany and was quite impressed with her consistent type. Her breeding program has been using old German salukis lines and blending them with some proven COO. COO=Country Of Origin. Wally's pedigree contains 3 COO that were imported into Germany and all three COO produced lovely consistent litters. I was somewhat hesitate to introduce COO into my pedigree as I'm suspect of what is behind COO salukis. The salukis in Wally's pedigree were used by many and each litter produced excellent get. Therefore, I was happy to bring these COO lines into my breeding program for health and vigor. The old German lines behind him are beautiful old type which were the foundation dogs behind several English kennels, namely Burydown and Daxlore. Wally is a small desert type saluki without a lot of feathering. He is extremely intelligent and high spirited. He possesses great speed and we are looking forward to pursuing his Field Titles. In his very first ASFA field trial, Dec 31, 2009, he easily won both days and took BOB. Wally sired the S'Wa litter, consisting of 8 beautiful pups with our Ch. Haalah Sans Souci. Many thanks to Ariane Failer for allowing this lovely boy to come live with us and be a part of our breeding program.
