Adel is my Saluki female. I imported her from Kazakhstan two years ago. She was raised without proper socialization and, when she arrived, I nearly lost her, so wild she was. Now, I am the only person in the world, who can touch her and take her on hte leash. She would not trust anyone else...

I feed my dogs all kind of raw meat products I can get cheap. Now, it is mainly what became "ripe" in the grocery and should be thrown out; actually it is still quite good, but smells a little. I have a friendly grocery owner, which sets things aside for my dogs. This includes ground beef, USDA...
