07/09/10 MORE FARIDAAT PUPPIES?
Well, yes ... and no. Faridaat Eo Xena was accidentally bred by Karnak Reign's Barakah (both owned by Chris Collignon/Idaho). Even though this is an accidental breeding we are excited to see what these two will produce since this basically contains much of our western line and our desert line! Puppies began arriving today and we are just awaiting the final tally of pups and sexes.
We are taking inquiries for homes so if you are interested, please contact me at sbwork@telus.net. Pups are located in Idaho, but can be shipped or brought to Canada as well. These pups should be stellar courses and/or show prospects!
07/08/10 FLYING THE COOP
The first of our F litter has flown the coop. Faridaat Finnegan left with his new owner Mimi Shine yesterday on his long drive to Southern BC. Finn gets to spend his summer at their cabin before heading back to his new home in Vancouver with Mimi, Ed and Marcus, long time Saluki owners/enthusiasts! We are excited that Finn will get to do some coursing once he's old enough! Congratulations to the Shine family on their new baby boy! All but one of the pups will be leaving in July. It's going to be so quiet around here, but I'm sure Truffle will love having all the attention again!
06/10/10 TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN
I find it incredibly hard to believe that the pups are almost 5 weeks old already. I've been so busy that I haven't got an album up on my site yet, but anyone wishing to see their progress is welcome to visit my facebook albums!
The pups had their first outside excursion today and handled it with lots of confidence. We have a busy few weeks ahead of us too - collar/leash training, crate training, going out in the 'big' dog yard, car rides and exposure to all the various animals here at the 'RavenWood Acres Petting Zoo'!!!
The pups' new owners are anxiously awaiting the day their new babies get to come home. Thanks to all who expressed interest in this phenomenal litter and especially to those lucky folks who are now part of our Faridaat family! This litter is going to make it's mark and we are glad you'll be a part of it!
06/01/10 RAFIQ GOES COURSING!
Karon Lonero writes: "
Today was the day for Rafiq and Ori to grow up a bit in the field. They got to experience their first two courses, and in fine, perfect, training style!" Rafiq (Faridaat Eo Johnny Canuck) and his kennelmate Ori owned by Skip and Ricki Verne went out on 2 courses with his uncles Nova, Ringo and Zelia (Karon's pack). The first course was dominated by Nova and Ringo swapping leads and turns on the hare, but Zelia, Rafiq and Ori were right in the mix all along. The second hare was broken by Zelia but Karon wasn't sure who made the take since they were all right there. "I thought I saw Zelia packing at first, but then I saw Nova with it, then RAFIQ playing tug o' war with him!!! Boy's got a natural mouth on him and Nova let him have it. Rafiq packed it all the way back in! That guy is his dad's Mini Me all the way." Read Karon's full report!
