It's Z-lightful!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Amala Z litter! "The Puppies" turned
6 on July 21. Zafirah and Zayn (here at Amala ), Zahli (my "other puppy"), Daizy, Nick, Zelia, Kai and ZiZi delight
us and fill our world. Forever in our hearts is our beloved Claire.
IN OTHER NEWS
In one of his rare all-breed show appearances, Zayn was awarded Winners Dog and is now
just two points from his AKC conformation championship. Maybe this showing thing isn't so bad after all, eh wot?
Zahrah was awarded 3rd place, Veteran Bitch 12 Years and Older, SCOA National Specialty, by judge Karen
Fisher (Ruweis Salukis, England). Miss Fabulous pranced and skipped her way around the ring (to ensure she wouldn't have to compete
in the Best of Breed ring) before gracefully gaiting (like a lady half her age) back to her cool-off spot once judging was
completed.
Zahli was awarded 3rd place in a strong Bred By Exhibitor
Bitch class. We congratulate her kennelmate Memphis, who won the class and went on to be crowned Best of Winners
and receive an Award of Merit.
While Zayn was not in the ribbons this year, he turned
in a spirited performance and turned on a number of fanciers and others ringside.

2008: The Zs are going on 6. Zahrah is 13. We're sad for Zafirah's pups who will never be, but are
beyond grateful that she is alive to share her life and love with us. While we aren't in the ring very often, we rejoice in
the successes and lives of the Z pups and grandpups.
The Saluki Club of America National Specialty
has come and gone in what always seems to be the fastest week of the year. Now, we look forward to the Huron Valley specialties
over Labor Day weekend.
Runners, lure coursers, OFC buffs, show
dogs, show-offs and dear hearts fill our Z family. We love them all! Thank you for visiting AMALA Salukis. We hope you enjoy your stay!
