Brody
Brody is my handsome Saluki; the boy I never had! I always intended to get a dog (because I think they are fantastic animals) - but it's happened a bit sooner than I thought it would. I got him from a Saluki breeder in Lincolnshire. I will be adding pictures of him here because I love him!
I named him after Chief Brody - the character played by the late great Roy Scheider in the film 'Jaws'.

8 Weeks Old (May 2013)
This was the first week I had Brody at home. He was eight weeks old and looked a bit like a Labrador pup!

Here, he's nearly 12 weeks old and definitely starting to look more like a Saluki now. The nose has elongated, the ears have grown...

5 Months Old
In the below two shots, Brody is five months old. The ears have fluffed up and he's becoming a bit more of a lump to carry.

2.5 Years Old
Since we had him neutered on his second birthday, he's developed a big hairy coat of downy hair! He also put on nearly 5kg in weight! The hair is handy in the Winter for keeping him warm but requires regular brushing to keep tangle free. What a beauty he is!
