»Faridaat Salukis

shown at 5 years

Kenya is a lovely red sable with an outgoing, quirky personality. She is living up to her name (see below). She has a lovely outgoing temperament and she is a very proficient watchdog! She has a lovely topline and a sweeping underline. Kenya has the long legs of a supermodel but don't let that elegance fool you ... this girl has lots of substance. She is solid through and through. She gives the impression of elegance and athleticism and does not look like she would blow over in the wind. She is well balanced front to rear. She also has a keen eye. Kenya is always a people dog and hates to be separated from her family. We think she will do well in the field if we can convince her that chasing plastic bunnies is 'the thing' to do! She is a very special girl and we co-bred 2 litters in order to get her. Kenya is our second homebred Faridaat puppy from our April Fool's Litter sired by Iroki Oberon out of Iroki Pelageya.

Kinyago: Swahili for Joker/Clown or Masquerade

How did Kenya get her name? Kenya's mom had 6 puppies in the April Fool's Litter, but sadly puppy #5 was stillborn. He was stuck in the birth canal and after a lengthy time birthing him with help from me, it appeared as though Jenny was still in labour. I feared the last puppy would also be stillborn as quite a bit of time had lapsed. As I sat there watching and waiting I found myself muttering "oh Jenny, can you please let this one be born alive ... can ya, cen ya, ken ya .... when my little girl finally arrived, she certainly was alive and squacking at the top of her lungs! After all that I decided her call name would be Kenya (can ya?) therefore she received a Swahili reference to the April Fool's theme - Kinyago!

Accomplishments:
Kenya has been shown sparingly because of our lack of proximity to events and due to her dislike of the show ring. This girl prefers the field over the ring.
