PUPPIES & PLANS

H-LITTER · MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER 2026

We are very happy to announce that we are expecting our H-litter around November 10th, 2026!
The mother-to-be is our grey-grizzle girl Shahdad Catayoun Chahr Zad, whom we call Catie. She is bred by us from a litter sired by American frozen semen. Catie is the daughter of US GR CH Timaru Limited Edition and DE CH Shahdad Anissa Aina.
Catie is a medium-sized bitch with balanced, moderate angulation, good bone, a wide, deep and well-filled front, and smooth, flowing lines. She has a beautiful head with parallel planes and moves with an effortless, light-footed yet ground-covering gait.
But Catie is much more than her conformation. To be honest, she is our Labrador disguised as a Saluki! She loves everyone and everything, and when it comes to food, she seems to have absolutely no limits – from raw Brussels sprouts to liquorice, there is hardly anything she would turn down. 😉
As the father of this litter, we have chosen Corvin Sirius Giliath, called Sirius.
Sirius is a thoughtful dog.

He likes to observe and consider things rather than act on impulse. He is wonderfully pleasant, kind, friendly and open-minded, with a quiet, unobtrusive nature. To me, he represents the kind of Saluki I have always loved.
In type, Sirius combines elegance with substance and presents himself as a balanced, harmonious Saluki. His overall appearance, together with his calm and unassuming temperament, makes him a dog we are very happy to have chosen for Catie.
In many ways, Catie and Sirius complement each other beautifully. We hope that their combination will bring together their individual strengths and produce classic, functional and moderate Salukis, free from exaggeration, with balanced conformation and effortless movement.
For us, breeding Salukis has always been about more than appearance alone. We value dogs who can enjoy the show ring and the coursing field, but who are, first and foremost, wonderful companions and beloved family members in everyday life. Above all, we hope to preserve the temperament and character that make the Saluki so special to us.

Of course, the health of our dogs is equally important. Catie has a normal echocardiogram and is genetically clear of NCL, DM and SSADHD. Her coat colour, genetic diversity and haplotypes have also been tested. Sirius has a normal echocardiogram and thyroid test and is genetically clear of NCL.
You can find Catie’s health results on Feragen. The pedigree of our planned H-litter can be found here.
My heartfelt thanks go to Adriana Révay, Sirius’s breeder and co-owner, as well as Pavel Krejzar and Sidónia Žembery. From the very beginning, Adriana has wholeheartedly supported my plans for this litter, and I am truly grateful for her trust, encouragement and enthusiasm for this combination.
I would also like to thank Pavel and Sidónia for their support and for everything they have done to make this combination possible. We had a wonderful time with them and were touched by their incredible hospitality, kindness and willingness to help. They made us feel so welcome, and this is something we will remember fondly.
I am truly grateful to all three of them for standing behind this combination and helping to make our H-litter a reality.
Preserving beauty, functionality and the essence of the Saluki.
