"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Another Pretty Dog
Granddog: John Burchard's Tigger, now starting to show in coursing.
Are tazis salukis? (Or as I'd rather put it are salukis tazis?) You can get an argument, but there is no real break in the population, though the name changes somewhere in Turkey.
There are of course regional differences, even within "tazis". Lashyn, Tig's mother, is a "Semirichenski" type; her dad a blend of Almaty and Turkmeni strains. But she is all Asian.
Brindles are more common in Eastern strains though not unknown in Arab lines. A friend has one from Iranian Kurdistan.

That dog's got legs like a super model. Gorgeous
Steve- Is the brindle dog a saluki, a tazi or a cross? Her markings are similiar to those on my lurcher.
