The kennel name El A'dini was founded by my parents (Guri & Nils Juel Blix) in 1988,

and together with Venke and Joar Schei they have breed many great Salukis under this prefix.

From 2011, we have been fortunate to take over the El-A'dini Kennel name. The first El-A'dini Azawakh litter is planned for July 2011.

The first Azawakh in Norway -Ecki- and the Saluki puppies

We (Emi, Bani, Ines & Emilio) live in Oslo, Norway. I (Ines) grew up with my parents breeding Salukis (El-A'dini). They also introduced the first Azawakh to Norway in 1995 when importing the bitch Eckimendi n'shat-ehad. Later Namji n'shat-ehad was added to our family. From the time I got to know Ecki I was certain that Azawakh is definitely the companion for me. I was truly fascinated by the intelligence, loyalty and the very special personality of this dog.

Emilio and I imported Bani-Bangou from Kennel Kel Tamaschek in Germany in 2008. From the first moment we have been absolute in love with our little Bani-Bangou. As her family we think that she has a lovely personality and temperament. She's very family oriented, but she also forms close bonds with our friends and family. She is also very curious and easygoing making it easy to introduce her to new people, new places and new situations.  Nevertheless, she is Azawakh. Meaning that she's very serious about protecting the house, the car, and us.

Bani & Ines

Bani is a fast learner, we have attended conformation classes in which she has done very well. Also in summer time we like to practise agility sometimes, just for fun. Bani has been very attached to us from day one and also she's very obedient by nature. This makes it very easy to trust her off leash. Every day she enjoys to run and play off leash with Emi the Cairn and other canine friends.

The 2th of July 2011 our first Azawakh litter was born, and we have a new Azawakh member in our family, El-A'dini Adiza. El-A'dini Akiki also stays in the family, he will live with my parents.
