2005 SCOA National Best of Breed winner:


Salukis bred by Dadaelis were:
Best of Breed and Best of Opposite Sex
Saluki Club of America National Specialty 2005 "The Egyptian Event"
Lexington, Kentucky (Entry 455 Salukis)
People in photo (l to r) Ron Bigford with Ch. Ruwach Joppa al Monab (BOB),
Sue Ann Pietros (co-breeder) and Don Powell with Ch. Monab American Idol ("Simon") (BOS)
Dadaelis co-bred both Joppa and Simon.

This was the first time in the history of the Club (since 1927)
that the same breeders won both Best of Breed and Best of Opposite.

Dadaelis has been breeding quality sighthounds since the early 1970s.
Our first champion Saluki was born in 1967 (Ch. Billa de Esta Kismet).

In 1973 we bred the dam of the top-winning Whippet in the history of the breed, Dadaelis Cerulea.
Ch. Sporting Fields Clansman's ("Buoy", shown below) record of 59 All-Breed Best in Shows and Specialty wins remains unbroken today.

In 1974 we bred our first Saluki litter.
We still maintain a continuous line from that first litter.

We are located near Seattle, Washington.
