Looking for ancestry /history of my saluki /greyhound

[Forest Queen 9]

Help Required as to ancestry /history of my saluki /Greyhound. 

I have just lost my dog of a lifetime to cancer, she was 11/12 yrs old.I am truly heartbroken. 

I'm not a hunter,but have always loved sight hounds in particular salukis.

My dog Fern was a very distinguishable sighthound ,her colouring alone a mutated dilute. Was quite a show stopper. I'd have people literally stopping cars to ask what she was as she held herself well and looked awesome. 

She was Steel and tan with a white butterfly on chest. White tips on feet. 

Fur like velvet and shone.

A glamourous looking dog.

She passed through I believe 5 lurcher men before coming to me age around 4 yrs. 

I had her 8 yrs. 

I have  sketchy details of her young life and know she was initially used as a racing dog and then a lampers dog. Until she hurt her spine and broke a toe.  

Fern was born around 2009,lived in North East England (Northumberland).

I believe she had two litters of puppies (do you have one?)

Lived Winlaton, Mickley,Prudhoe , Ryton, Greenside, Horsley.

I believe her father (sire) may of being khan jihad. 

I believe her mother (dam) was a steel greyhound and was a Irish coursing champion.  

Does anyone know who that might be?

Who bred Fern?

Does her heritage fit time scale wise?

I would dearly love to know as I said, totally in bits at her loss. 

I just want to try and recreate her or seek out someone who might be able too from same lineage. 

Whilst I'm not a hunter, I turned Fern from huntress to helper in that I used her skills and abilities to bring deer out to me to photograph, as I'm a professional photographer. We were quite a team. 

I just loved everything about that girl.

Thanks for any help received.

problem is  re breeding  , unlss you know the breeder  and saw the sire and dam personally  you are going to really struggle , ,it might well be that khan is in thee somewere ,but my guess  and only a guess  is khan did go to alot of bitches  most probebly bieng salx,s  not full greys  , but i might be wrong  , its guessing game ,and as i said  its not uncommon for breeders to tell a few porkies re breeding ,

I remember seen Khan on countryman weekly for stud. Did he produce anything good on the field not a smart question so don't take it the wrong way just curious.

Think the lad who owned Khan an was in here at one point had access to a few greyhound bitches an bred a few first crosses off him, reared them in a big compound where they had run of place with the dam

yes mate i do remember that  ,but as we said khan covered alot of bitches  in his time  so it would be a lottery to know were that bitch came from

My cousin had a first x out of him sent here to Ireland I don't nó was our fields too small or what but the dog wasn't worth a wank tbh but all pups won't be great

Near nuneaton katchum ?

I remember the name of the dog but a few lads I know with Salukis never used him,so what does that tell you.

I'd say a Saluki lurcher, not a first cross. You'll get something similar just watching the dogs for sale, might not be blue mind. She landed on her feet after such a shitty start

Its a shame she had a bad start but you done her well bud ,anyone can see she was in fine fettle and looks like she had a good life and you done each other proud ,

If your looking for another sal x grey I'm sure you soon find a pup but why not get a sal x from rescue center as lots of young lurchers looking for good homes.
