According to the puppy ultrasound the 22nd of December Sara was going to have at least five puppies in the end of January 2015. The actual amount of puppies was eight.
Sara is a vary calm and easy going saluki and has a big respect on the people taking care of her. Sara approaches her favourite people with full of joy, otherwise Sara is ignorant in front of strangers.
Sara's height is 62-63 cm on the shoulders and the weight is about 19 kg, which means that Sara is smaller than an average contemporary saluki bitch, and about a medium size saluki bitch a couple of decades ago.
Sara's inbreeding-% of 5 generations is 0% and for 10 generations 3,15%, number of foundation salukis in the pedigree is 48.
The father of the Zarabis R-litter is Khronos min al Asife
Khronos is the father of the Zarabis Q-litter of Sara's sister Zarabis Odezia the 20th of November 2013.
Khronos was imported from Belgium in Spring 2011 and is owned by family Lehmusto in Turku.
Khronos is coming from well-known beauty & performance saluki lines. Behind Khronos there are some of the most well-respected contemporary salukis from the countries of origin, especially from Iran and Turkey. The siblings of Khronos' father have been many times winners and among TOP-3 of European and World racing championships and also lure coursing championships, as also Khronos' grandfather from mother's side.

Khronos has racing licence and Khronos has been able to run 480 meters in 33,90 seconds. Khronos attended lure coursing trials only during the part of the season 2012, but Khronos became the best saluki lure coursing male according to the TOP list of the Finnish Sighthound Association. During the season 2013 Khronos was the second best male. Khronos is Finnish, Estonian and Latvian lure coursing champion.
Khronos' and Sara's fathers were running together at the European championships in Jubbega in Holland year 2006 when Sara's father Malcolm became European racing champion.

The inbreeding-% (PawPeds) of the litter is for 5 generations is 0 % and the complete inbreeding-% for the whole ancestry is as low as 6,3 %, The number of foundation salukis in the pedigree is as many as 58. The closest joint ancestor of Odessa and Khronos is on the level of 6th generation. This saluki bitch is the legendary Boncuk from Turkey born year 1981, behind many successful show, racing and lure couring salukis all around the Europe.

Sara and Khronos have attended heart scanning without signs of inherited heart diseases. The set of autoimmune (DLA haplotype) genes of Sara and Khronos are different, Sara is homozygous. Sara and Khronos have given their samples for their MyDogDNA passports. Sara's Genetic Health Index (GHI) is 100 and Khronos' 108. GHI for the puppies tested have been between 109-111. Sara's eyes haven been checked clear from inherited eye diseases. Khronos has one lacrimal duct missing. The DNA heterozygosity level of the puppies tested has been on a good level of 36,7-37,8%.
The summany below explains the colour genes of Khronos and Sara. Part of the colour genes are gene tested (MyDogDNA) and the rest are assumptions.The colour inheritance should be very simple, Khronos and Sara are most likely able to have black grizzle puppies and also black & fawn/silver puppies are possible. The puppies will have white Irish markings with dots on white of the colour of the main coat colour. We know that Khronos and Sara's father and sister carry piebald spotting, therefore there is a possibility for particolour puppies, or at least increased white markings. Golden colour as a dilution from black is not possible. And so it was, but grizzles became particolour grizzles.
Sara is carrying the recessive version of the dominant wild colour type of the wolf as a "mutation back", because black&tan/fawn/silver is originally a mutation of the wild type. The most common opinion of the order of dominance between the genes of the A locus is ay > aw=wild type > at > a. This means that the at+ aw Sara has a personal, not inherited, mutation from black&tan atto the resessive version of aw.
