t was great honour to use Bassam, he was a fantastic dog. His breeders , owners at that time had the choice between El Ubaid's Anastasia and Aphrodite, they chosen for Aphrodite, wwho extremly heavily feathered and elegant already at age 2. There two Dutch judges that known my interrest in Scandinavian lines, who had judged the very young Bassam. They were very impressed and adviced me to use that dog. Understandable but unfortunately the owner to El Ubaid's Aphrodite decided she had seen enough of the dogscene, to lose joy in the dog sport of showing.
Bassam in honest way and with eas achieved the following titles;
International, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Nordic, Netherlands, Luxemburg, German, German Club, Danish, Danish Club and European Champion. Bassam won titles in more countries than any Swedish Saluki.

Bellophor |
Bellophor was a striking beauty, not very often found such deep black grizles with pale markings, he was enormously heavily feathered. He was an eye catcher. Dutch Dk, jw.1995 winner 1996, top saluki number 1 in 1996. He was sold back to me late 1997, due to private circumstances of his owner. Midle 1998, his former owner got higher offers, he could buy the dog from me and re-sell him.I refused, it lead to a court case, which I won. Bellophor produced a beautifull litter at kennel Dálfabia in Belgium. They never bred with his off springs. Semen of him went to South Africa and disappeared. A litter was produced after him in the USA. We invested enormous money to have that litter going, advertisements in the USA, competing with a number of dogs of mine on Kentucky 2000.The agreement was not kept.Our pick puppy was refused, which lead to the diccission NOT to co-work on having that litter regristries.However, years later as I still tried to registrate that litter, Mrs.C.Kemple at AKC, explained it would have been impossible any way.According to AKC rules if a natural mating finds place in the USA both parents have to be AKC registries. Bellophor died in 2003 and his dead made us learn a lot about the virus canine infectious ( link to health issues)

Bizar and sired my N litter at age 11. Bizar was even used at stud age 12 at kennel van der kleiheuvel in Netherlands which lead to a singlethon puppy. Bizar reached age 13 almost 14 in full health. Bizar produced my N litter, many requested a stud from him. The owners of Bizar never cared about showing but they simply enjoyed the magnificent character and beauty of their beloved family member.
