The Salukis MCh. Diba al-safi (out of Tita's Mamnouna M.a.r. after Cesm Safid el Mashhur) and Ch. E'bolon Shabil el Riad (out of Smettanka M.a.r. after Dif's Abduhallah M.a.r.) are grandparents of my Saluki “Gorazan al-safi” on the dam's side.
The grandparents on the paternal side lived in Iran and are unknown to me. I dedicated a story to the import-dog “Shabgard az Piran” and his ancestors. This is a true story and a fairy tale at the same time. It is called: “A fairy tale from Kurdistan ...”.
I made some enquries on the maternal side of my Saluki (see Mumtachir-ar rih – an old German Saluki kennel). These are the grandparents of my Saluki “Gorazan al-safi” on the maternal side:
MCh. Diba al-safi achieved the high age of more than 17 years. We celebrated her birthday with a big party. It was simply marvellous to see, how this dog was still enjoying her life in a good health.
Ch. Shabgard az-PiranShabgard az Piran, the silver-grey import-saluki-dog from Kurdish Iran, got the title “German champion”. I think, this is worth to mention! This saluki impressed by his gentleness, dignity, calmness, silence and aristocracy - a Saluki with a great deal of special Charisma! “Shab gard” is Persian and means the “guard of the night”. This marvellous Saluki did not decease, he is living on in his children. |

Ch. Eljana al-safiEljana, a daughter out of MCh. Diba al-safi after Ch. E'bolon el Riad, was the breeder's Dr. Helga Renfordt-Voelkner favourite dog. Eljana was an elegant red grizzle bitch, which had a perfect movement and a special charisma. |
