Our Salukis

We are a childless couple, both born in the late 70s, and we daily enjoy living together with our Salukis. Thanks to their balanced and calm nature, our daily life together is carefree. Our Salukis are our family members, and you could say we’ve tailored our lives to each other. In 2019, we traded our beautiful house in Cologne for our current home here in Overath so that we and our pack can fully flourish. Thus, we’ve created the best possible conditions for our furry companions to have plenty of options to play on our spacious property or enjoy wonderful walks.

But let’s start from the beginning. Before the first Saluki joined us in 2012, English Pointers were our companions. So, we were accustomed to the hunting and energetic temperament of a sighthound. After the Pointers, there was a brief period without a dog in the house, a terribly loveless and boring time. Therefore, in 2010, we turned to the DWZRV (German Sighthound Breed Association) to find the right Saluki breeding facility, and we found it.

We now have Salukis from various breeding facilities, but we also fulfilled a big dream and imported a female from Iran. Now, we enjoy the sight of these graceful beings daily as they gaze at us with their gentle eyes or simply stand there, noses in the wind. But above all, their fascinating movement, whether in play mode or when indulging in their passion for racing or coursing, is something we can never get enough of.

With this fascination for the breed and the knowledge we’ve acquired, it was not surprising that the decision to breed came naturally over time. We want to accompany this wonderful breed in its continuation and be a part of it.

In 2019, we gained our first breeding experience with our wonderful bitch Shiva. At the time, we didn’t want to be active breeders, and friends offered to support us in this wish. We are grateful to them to this day because otherwise, our precious Gooya would not exist.

The year 2023 is the year of our A-litter. We are overjoyed by the positive development, from getting to know the sire, the entire pregnancy, to raising the puppies, and also by all the dear families who are now part of the Del’Neshin family.

For us, it is natural that the mother dog gives birth to her puppies in our living space. She is always in her familiar environment, in the lap of her loved ones, but above all, under our supervision. Thus, our puppies grow up in the house, never in kennels or crates. They naturally experience the everyday things of life from a young age, whether it’s the noise, creative toys, or different surfaces. Socialization is very important to us, along with health and functionality.

Before the sweet puppies reach their new homes, they have already experienced leash training, car rides, and, especially, positive encounters with their environment during short walks. Depending on their development, our puppies can move into their new homes at around 10-12 weeks old, dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped, and with papers (FCI.VDH.DWZRV). Whether near or far, we are happy to accompany you and your beloved new addition and want to be there for you, even before they move in. This is a part of our breeding philosophy.

Above all, it is important to us that our puppy becomes a member of your family. A Del’Neshin puppy deserves your unconditional love and attention. That’s what we wish for our little „Schnittchen“ (LITTLE CUTIES)! Why “Schnittchen”? Because they are little pieces of the whole!


Yours sincerely,

Eva, Peter & the Schnittchen

About our Start

in the Saluki World


I wish our loved ones could accompany us forever!

In December 2012, I drove to a Saluki breeding facility to pick up our first Saluki puppy. Luck would strike me doubly that day because as I conversed with the breeder on-site, one particular female dog caught my attention and captivated my heart. The breeder introduced her to me as Sadaf von Iransamin, the foundation bitch of her breeding facility. During our conversation and while holding our puppy Lennox in my arms, Sadaf (his grandmother), an open and friendly dog, nestled into my lap and deep into my heart. The breeder chuckled and denied my request when I said I would take Sadaf and the puppy Lennox home that day! I looked at Sadaf and promised: we will be together someday! So, I left with our sweet puppy in my arms and the dog named Sadaf in my heart…

Exactly one year later (2013), the breeder called us to inform us that her J-litter had been born, the litter I had expressed interest in. I visited the tiny, four-week-old puppies and decided on our little sweetheart Jale (now Shiva), whom we were allowed to pick up a few weeks later. However, fate was sealed on that day: I drove back home with Sadaf in tow.
Dreams come true, the universe listens to us!
Sadaf and I had an incredible bond with each other until her departure. She was a dog with a special character, and I miss her greatly, along with her mischievous grin…

Thus, what started as the purchase of a puppy turned into a story, perfectly fitting for the oriental theme!

“gone but still in our heart”
