WILLOWMIST

Our breeding philosophy at Willowmist is simple. It is to produce happy salukis that meet the Australian standard physically and mentally. We strive to produce good pets, show dogs and lure coursers. Salukis are an ancient breed and we aim to preserve all aspects of the breed while producing sound, strong, healthy dogs that will enjoy the modern lifestyle. We test for Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis NCL (Saluki Type) a rare neurological disorder occasionally found in the breed. We were the breeders of Grand Ch Willowmist The Hijacker (owned by Ian Rasmussen & Robyn Slade) one of Australia’s top winning salukis of the past. His name appears in the pedigree of winning salukis across Australia, Europe, America and Asia. Post COVID 19 we are revitalising our breeding program with many thanks to our saluki friends across Australia, especially Chantal Parratt (Grantulla Salukis) & Stephen & Janelle Uebel. We have an exciting litter born on June 10, 2024. The father is Quanmarra Chirich LCX and the dam is Grantulla Inan. The puppies combine lure coursing and show bloodlines blending Australian, European and American lines. We are keen to debut these puppies in the show ring and later on the coursing field.
