merikaez Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 We need a regular handler for our two Salukis. Some judges will ignore them because the dog is black & brindle and the bitch is smooth, but they are both quality dogs and were both placed at the Sydney Speciality at Easter and received good critiques from judge Saija Juutilainen of Wallaby Salukis, Finland as shown below. Ch Baghdad Ace of Spades - 2 years black & brindle male with nice proportions and body shape. Correct bones and angulations and feet. Beautiful masculine head and correct expression. Moves quite well. Ch Baghdad Black Diamond - three years lovely black & tan smooth in excelent condition. Nicely balanced overall and a super mover. Feminine head, a bit light eyes but still correct for her colour. Nice angulations and feet. Reserve Challenge Bitch + Opposite Aust Bred in Show - Lovely smooth - so nice size and type and nicely handled! Any offers or suggestions in the Brisbane/SE Queensland and Northern New South Wales areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakbelgian Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Good luck in finding a handler. You may have put some folks off from mentioning that they may be ignored due to color. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise+Hudson Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Sorry I live too far out in the middle of nowhere! Haha I also am only new to showing, I hope you find someone to help you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB Better that than having some junior thinking that they have done something wrong. His colour is perfectly acceptable in Australia, but cream is the popular colour in Brisbane. He is a Best in Group winner and I managed to handle him to Intermediate in Group on the weekend, but I am 70 and can't run fast enough or far enough to do them justice.

becks Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 As someone who shows the non fashion colours, while you may not be winning every weekend and you will get some judges who blatently colour judge, it all just makes the wins you do have that much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
