\nWith the recent passing of Rosie Lewis it was fitting that all present joined in with a celebratory round of applause and cheering in her memory. Chris had his own special tribute to Rosie, he wore a flower in his buttonhole from a rose bush in their garden which had been given to them by Saluki Welfare and named after Rosie.
\nFull details of the results can be found on the Northern Saluki Club website.<\/p>\n

An \u201cUnverified\u201d Saluki<\/strong><\/span>
\nEarlier this year we received a request from a gentleman to confirm that his dog was a pure bred saluki.
\nOn requesting further details, it turned out that this gentleman had always wanted a desert bred Saluki, so at great expense he had imported one from the Saluki Breeding Centre in the Middle East. On trying to register it with the KC, none of the salukis in its breed line were recognised by them, hence they needed the opinion of 2 KC Championship show Saluki Breed Judges.
\nSo it was one evening that we traipsed off to Services on the A1, met up with Denise Rogers, eventually meeting the gentleman with the imported saluki. He was able to produce some impressive paperwork from the Saluki Breeding Centre, including a pedigree on which, of course, all the dogs were unfamiliar to us. His bitch, which was unlike anything you would find in a UK show ring, was very narrow in front and not much wider at the rear, there were also dew claws on the hind legs. We were satisfied that there were sufficient \u2018Saluki\u2019 traits in the bitch for us to be able to
\nconfirm that in our opinion the specimen before us was a pure bred saluki.
\nIt was an interesting experience and brought home the fact of the incredible diversity within the saluki breed.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE<\/strong><\/span>
\nIt\u2019s very cold outside but I\u2019m curled up in front of a lovely warm fire, just as Salukis are entitled to be. Good gracious, whatever is this they are bringing in to my room? Well, I knew they thought a lot about me but how very kind of them to bring in a lovely tree planted in a tub of soil to save me going out in the cold whenever I want to \u2018spend a penny\u2019 It would be very churlish of me not to try it out – like throwing kindness in their face. Of course I will wait until they have gone out of the room, a dog must have some privacy! This tree smells a bit odd – must be the first to use it. Ah, here they come again, wonder if they will notice I have already made use of their gift. Ouch, now why did they do that? It really is difficult to understand some people -they give me a nice tree then suddenly push me out into the garden – quite illogical! Thank goodness I\u2019m back in the warm again, but what are they doing now? Putting all sorts of
\ncoloured things onto the branches, lots of baubles and some shiny stuff hanging down. Better investigate I suppose. These balls don\u2019t feel like the ones I throw around the garden – oh there\u2019s something inside – chocolate, yummy, and there are more near the top – oops! They didn\u2019t plant the tree very firmly did they all I did was put my front legs on a branch. They call this the season of good will then banish me to the kitchen \u2026.. Well it might not be so bad, with a bit of thought and my Saluki ingenuity I could have a little peek in the fridge and sample the turkey…..<\/p>\n
