12/21/09 ~ Here is the critique on "Mario" and a couple others
that are known by the Ruwach family. These critiques are from the
Galveston Bay Saluki Club, judge was Stephen Wailes (Australia).
"Mario" ~ AOM - CH RUWACK’S
MASERATI BY & BYE-BYE.Black and silver smooth boy with clean flowing lines. Pleasing head
piece. Beautiful neck into well laid shoulder. Excellent angles to front
assembly, and excellent depth and length to rib cage. Very good curvy underline.
Strong croup, giving width to upper thigh. A tad too much behind for me, but he
had so many excellent qualities. Sound and graceful.
Out of a litter
bred by Starr White - Windstorm Salukis ~ WINDSTORM ANTARA PROMISE
UMUCH JC. A lightly shaded fawn girl with excellent proportions & size. Very
feminine. Crested neck which flowed smoothly into a strong topline. Curvy
underline with a most pleasing waist. Very pretty headpiece, with correct planes
and strength to the underjaw. Gentle expression. Sound flowing movement…nothing
overdone with this girl. Excellent clean moving front. Moderate. To be picky, I
would prefer her croup to be less angled.
WINNERS BITCH, BEST OF WINNERS
Out of a litter
bred by Kim Stewart - Uluru Salukis ~ ULURU LOCHLAN OF GAYANULU.
Self red dog with white trim. Much to like about this boy who is still only a
youngster. Moderate throughout. I liked his size, bladed bone, and correct
angulation. Very pleasing neck into shoulder, well ribbed back into a flowing
underline. Correct width to upper thigh which goes with a moderately angled
croup. Fit and muscular. Needing more fill in front, but strong going away.
Profile gait, light and easy.
Head planes were parallel. Would prefer a larger eye. High set, mobile ears.
WINNERS DOG
