Description

Sarban is one of our Kurdish Salukis. It is standard practice for the villagers to crop their ears while very young. While not a practice that I care for, it does make for a very distinctive look! For anyone not familiar with the breed, they are found throughout the Middle East and have been bred over the past few thousand years to excel in running down game. While typically not as fast as greyhounds, they tend to have greater endurance. It does really take your breath away to see one running flat out! Taken with a Nikon D70 that I'm starting to experiment with. Cheers, Parthius

Awesome dog! I have a Nikon D70 I bought when they first came out and I love it because it takes my Nikon lenses from my film cameras! Nikon for me!

Great looking dog and he really makes a fine Avatar (about time...George!) I wonder, does he try to chase your new plane during take-off's and landing's or is he confined to the barracks ? ~Cheers~ :o)

What a remarkable looking animal. I can tell it must have some incredible agility. Excellent shot! My sincere apologies for my lack of commenting, I have been exceptionally busy. Steve :o)
