He picked me at 3 weeks of age.  He wasn’t the “pick of the litter” but he was my pick.  Some thought I was crazy when I decided that Mr. Blue was coming home with me.  I couldn’t say no to him ~ and that was the beginning of our journey together.

Zazu was my pick and as I watched him develop in my back yard I knew I had made the right decision.  His first trip to the SCOA National Speciality he was awarded 2nd in the 9-12 month Sweeps class.  His daddy Mambo was 1st in the Stud Dog class & his mommy Abby was 2nd in the Brood Bitch class.  His second trip he won the highly competitive Bred By Exhibitor class & was awarded Reserve Winners Dog! 

2009 has been a GREAT year for Zazu - in February he was awarded Best of Winners at the Empire Winter Specialty, in April he was Best of Winners at the ASA Mid Atlantic TSE, June took us to the National, August Zazu finished by going Best of Breed over specials and then in September he was Best of Opposite Sex at the Garden State Saluki Club’s Summer Specialty!

There is no doubt in my mind now that he has developed into the “pick of the litter”.  I look forward to success as we venture into the Specials ring  where I hope he’ll continue to impress!
