About Masuda Kennel

 

Back in the 1980s, Happiness lived in Saudi Arabia for ten years.
There, she wrote articles as well as illustrated for educational programs on Saudi TV. She became facsinated with the new Museum being built at that time, in Rhiyad, which featured ancient trade routes and also routes and places still in use and traveled by the Bedouin of today. This was where she first became familiar with the Saluki.
She traveled the desert with her guide to such places from Diriyah to
Ghot- Ghot and to the empty places in between. In her travels, Happiness
met with Bedouin tribes to learn about their different customs and their
relationship with the noble Saluki.
Happiness visited one family who hunted to live. The family Saluki was quick and agile, easily catching up with gazelles and there by keeping the family well-fed - - - that is why the Saluki is called a "gazelle hound." The Gazelle, is a part of the food chain, and many times, a significant source of nourishment for the desert-dwelling nomads.
Happiness learned that, at night, the Salukis slept in the women's tent.
Often if the family had a falcon, the Saluki would hunt with the falcon. Since the Bedouin traveled from place-to-place, in the desert, the food source was not constant.
Salukis are highly regarded for their intelligence and also their ability to capture prey unharmed, for their Bedouin masters to properly prepare as food. Happiness said it was an amazing sight to watch the team of Bedouin, falcon, and Saluki work together. Happiness' travels and interviews with the Bedouin are as vivid today as they were many years ago, when she first visited Saudi Arabia and became captivated by the dog in the desert. 
Happiness feels that is it s great honor to have Salukis in her home and in her presence today.
