the Salukis

I posted an album of my Mom's Salukis. Jazz (Sonama's Rhythm and Blues) was born in 1993 and passed away in 2008. Jazz was our favorite but we don't tell the other salukies that. Jazz was a giraffe pup. He had no idea how to use his super long legs. But once he figured them out he could keep up with me as I rode my bike downhill as fast as I could go.

My mom wanted a second pup so in 2002 she got Quest. Quest (Z'bees Quest for the Cup) is named in reference to the NHL Stanley Cup. Quest always wanted to lay on top of Jazz but they got along together well. Quest isn't as smart as Jazz but has all the energy. He did learn from his older brother though.

Once Jazz passed away in 2008 when he was 14 my Mom got her third Saluki Ciara. Unlike Jazz and Quest, Ciara came from a shelter and her breeder is unknown. She was around 5 years old when we got her. She was very scared and skittish for the first few months. She wouldn't go up or down stairs. She is still timid but has gotten comfortable at her new home. Neither Quest or Ciara are feathered like Jazz had been. Ciara is quicker than Jazz was and has become quite the hunter.
