Saara was a saluki to remember with all the intelligence and problem solving skills in the every day life. Climbing ladders, opening all kinds of doors, bags and boxes was a routine for Saara. Saara was also "talking" a lot especially with the good saluki friends, but also with people Saara accepted. Saara couldn't understand what fear was, but Saara was obedient, and understood well the rules of group behaviour.

It is evident that Saara's litter inherited their running abilities from their mother. Saara was once the winner of the inofficial Lure Coursing Championship of the Finnish Saluki Club and Saara could easily brake the track records during inofficial practising sessions. Saara had too hot temperament to gain any racing license to attend official races, but it was always a pleasure to see the power of her running.

Year 1998 Saara became the BOB at a major sighthound special show at the Helsinki Sighthound Club. Saara was too independent and intelligent for show occasions she couldn't fully control.

LURE COURSING

Saara was the winner of the unoffcial Saluki Club championships in Espoo in October 1999.

When the lure stopped in the end of the trial Saara jumped a long killing leap, turned around

her body and "killed" the lure striking it on the ground. Saara was very serious with everything.
