Shamsi was Ingunn's first saluki. She was a
present from Gro B and Per Henriksen when Ingunn was 11 years old, since Ingunn
had taken care of their two salukis, African Paradise and El-Shebaras Dathina
for six months. She was a very independent girl and ran off as soon as she was
able to. She loved food and stole what she could, even though she liked it or
not.
Shamsi was shown, but never achieved her championship. 1984 was
the first time Ingunn visited Skokloster and she has been there almost every
year since. In
1995 Shamsi was among the ten best bitches at Skokloster, under Don Wieden.
With Shamsi, Ingunn learned to love salukis
and she was a start of a long journey in the salukiworld.
Shamsi crossed the rainbow bridge in 1996, at the age of
12,5. |
