With great sadness, we have said goodbye to our darling Nina. She was helped quietly from this world and is now sleeping peacefully among the willows. Our condolences go out to Cathie Hays who kept Nina for us in her later years.

Nina was Wizard's sister. She came to live with us several months after Wizard did. Distinctly having a mind of her own made Nina a challenge to live with for the first few months but she finally came around to see my point of view and was a charming houseguest. Often claiming the coveted title of "favourite" with many of our visitors, her gentle demeanor and adorable face won them over. She was very small and athletic and we often call her our "Saluppet" due to her size and speed in the field. She was a true athlete!

Nina had spent the last few years living with our friend, Cathie Hays, and her nephew Nico in Airdrie Alberta. A tribute to her breeder, breedline and her athleticism, Nina had only begun her coursing career at age 10 and acquired #10 Saluki in Canada in 2001! Our little perky girl! Age eventually took it's toll and slowed her down a bit in the last couple of years and she had undergone several operations to remove lumps. She had retired to hold the esteemed position of head couch warmer and companion at Cathie's home. We miss you Nina!

Accomplishments

Nina won the Lure Coursing Trial (Salukis only) at the SCOC National 2000. This win included winning the Tara Cup which is awarded yearly to the Best of Breed Saluki competing at a specialty trial or designated trial.

Nina's score of 303 was the high score of the day - Salukis, Afghans and Borzoi. She ran her little heart out and the judges actually came up and complimented her. They also thought she was a young dog! All this at the age of 10yrs!
