Hello,
my name is Minna Pikkarainen and salukis have taken my heart.
I got my first saluki in 2004. And I think I have found my breed.
Saluki is a fine breed with whom you can go to dogshows and train lure
coursing and track racing.

It is not difficult to imagine why salukis can be so fascinating and charming. Like it is said in the breed standard -  general appearance: The whole appearance of this breed should give an impression of grace and symmetry and of great speed and endurance coupled with strength and activity.

I am a saluki godparent in the area Varkaus - Mikkeli.  Finnish Saluki Club 
So, if you want to get more information about salukis, you can even visit us and see how the saluki is at its best when it is allowed to be part of the family.
Please, contact me if you are interested.
