range rover classic ? great off road mate

how did your rate the saluki mate 

Impossible to rate, mate. Running a dog in Saudi was going out every weekend and hoping you got a run. The Royals and the rich used droppers, I just hoped to see a hare or a rabbit I could get a run on.

I had a couple of pures and they kept me happy. 

The dog in the pictures, I wish I could have brought him home, but he died at 17 and the prince that gifted me him replaced him with a Doberman ! 

I brought the Doberman home as it would have been disrespectful not to, but I'd rather it had been the saluki !

Cheers.

By the way, the Range Rover was a Wood & Pickett conversion with the full body kit and the long range desert kit, double radiator, long range fuel tank, updated suspension and brakes, Recaro seats, etc.

I bought it for SAR 10,000...... just under £2,000 at the time, an absolute bargain !

Cheers.

The friend imported two Doberman fro Holland as pets/guards. They had been trained by an ex Indian Army dog trainer. He gave me one to replace an old saluki he had gifted me.

Another Saudi friend was gifted two lurchers by Peter Stringfellow, which had come from the Queens kennels in Sandringham, he asked me to come and see them......I told him to give them to me, as they would never see the outside of their kennels with him. He refused.

The prince my wife and late daughter went to stay with for a few month actually keeps Jack Russell's ! He said he will send me a Saluki , but i said it would be wasted with me .

Sounds outrageous ? Possibly, but absolutely true, I swear on both my children's graves .

Cheers.

One was a smooth type, the other was a strong hairy type. The same guy gifted my daughter and her fiancé a border Collie which I wouldn't have give the cur kennel room !

Sheik Ghunaim of Abu Dhabi offered me one of these pups for free if I could get it home without quarantine, but sadly, even with my diplomat sons help, proved impossible;

Cheers.

That was before the quarantine was changed mate.

The Sheik told me I could have one of the pups but six month quarantine would ruin it, and I agreeded with him.

I brought the Doberman back and done six month quarantine and cost £1500 , the money didn't bother me but the quarantine was heartbreaking .

Hamed gets some shit off lads here, but I know the man and nobody has the saluki closer to his heart

Cheers.

The mans a multi millionaire, why on earth would he peddle pups ?

He was a freind of my daughters, he made me welcome and looked after me and her when we were in his company.

He is the Chairman of the World Saluki Society , yes, I saw him refuse to sell dogs and refuse to stud dogs out, but that's his perogative. 

I'd advise anyone who goes out to Dubai for a holiday to look him up......if they are interested in coursing dogs, they'll enjoy his company.

Cheers.

I had a kestrel, it would take the hood and come to the glove but it was just a pet,

I spent a bit of time at Hamed Ghunaims mews in Dubai, but didn't get to see any of his birds fly,

Cheers.
