You do have your hands full, Jennifer!!! JJ -- and possibly now his cousins -- will find excellent homes that will appreciate them, I am sure. I would take more of them too, but my husband would make me sleep with them in the kennel!
Do you mind if I ask who you purchased your 1st 'luki from? And, I would love to hear the problems the Borzois have had in terms of "purity" breeding.

Sadly, yes, many breeds nowdays are bred just for the showring. I sadly see it in the Borzoi (mostly from one kennel in the East). All breeds of dogs have suffered from this (Great Danes especially in my opinion). I've seen many AKC Greyhounds and the ones I have personally seen in person I would not put on any coursing field- too big, body not built for tight turns. No, there are not as many active coursing (LGRA/ASFA/AKC) coursing Saluki as there are of other breeds. There are not as many breeders of them either, nor do they breed often. There are breeders who breed just to one standard, but there are also breeders (like who I got my first Saluki from and who I'm getting my second one from) who breed to original "standards" of the breed (would a Beduin own THIS? could THIS course over miles of desert land and not tire? etc...). I've even heard arguments over the smooth's VS feather's and how some people want the smooth to become a seperate breed (think long/short/wire haired Dashunds).
