The Future of AMALA is here!
Anticipation filled the air with the announcement that Zahrah
was bred to Boss: Ch. Shalom's Burst of Speed LCM. Due to a severe injury incurred by Zahrah on Labor Day, the breeding
was postponed until May 2002. We expect wonderful things for
the Z litter, the legacy of fine open field and lure
coursing stock from illustrious old American lines. We're very excited for the youngsters from our two sound,
moderate, curvaceous, athletic salukis! These beauties were born Sunday, July 21, 2002.
"Hounds sometimes live up to their names, they say. Boss would
seem to certify that, as a burst of speed is his forte. On the lure coursing field, while he earned his LCM in relatively
limited coursing, he has never shown much interest in turning. We began to think he couldn't. But in the open field on a jackrabbit,
he turns like a jack and shows lots of "air" for the long chase. His annual appearances in NM often find him in the ribbons
among awesome and experienced competition. Despite living in Michigan, he and his sister Toutsie have both qualified for the
Grand Course. A densepack Saluki made of muscle from head to toe, Boss is also a softy at heart and one of the easiest keepers
we've ever enjoyed."
Boss is bred, owned and loved by Jack and MaryJane Helder.

Boss' father, the puppies' grandfather: Logan. It's easy
to see how Boss comes by his lovely outline and easy athleticism... Logan will live forever in the hearts of Lynn and Vicky
Clarke, and will be part of AMALA forever more.

Mali: Jack's heart, MaryJane's delight, the first saluki to try to steal my heart.
All of the Z litter girls carry Mali close to their hearts and countenances. It thrills me to see Mali when I look at her
granddaughter, Zahli. Mali loved to run and lived to run. May her grandchildren forever have that same passion.

Jett: Boss' litterbrother, uncle to the puppies... Jett enjoys
being Jett. Jett enjoys life. Jett has tremendous heart, and had embarked on a tremendous coursing career when he incurred
a severe injury to a front leg. He and Zahrah are kindred spirits. They are also in-laws... I adore Jett. So do Lynn and Vicky.
