Sadka (behind, light coloured)
Arbi Benti (in front, darker coloured)
We also present the picture of a pair of
Sloeqi bitches, both owned by the secretary
of the club, Mr. Cammann of Amsterdam.
The last one on the photo is Sadka born
October 11, 1913, whose breeder is Mr. E.
Hamerlink of Terneuzen. Sadka is a very
fine, elegant, and beautifully built bitch,
which unfortunately is very shy and
nervous, so that in the company of many
people she does not feel at ease: that is
why she does not show herself very well at
exhibitions. Although she was born in this
country, she obviously has the memories of
the loneliness of the wide desert plains
inherited from her ancestors. Only once
did she appear at a tent show, namely at
the Nimrod-Cynophylia show in The Hague
in 1918, where under the judge Anema she
won 1st prize in the novelty class and the
qualification “very good”.
The sturdy bitch in the foreground of the
picture is Arbi Benti, born March 11, 1913,
owned by Mr. Cammann, who is also the
breeder.

Arbi Benti is a daughter of the Arabian
Oktaïa imported by Mr. Cammann, which
unfortunately is red in color, so that she
cannot be very successful at exhibitions,
despite her nice physique. As a brood bitch,
however, she has already rendered good
service to the breed, as most of her
offspring have the pure sand color. Arbi
Benti, however, is one of the exceptions
who have inherited their mother's red
color. Mr. Cammann saw her as a good
breeding bitch because of her nice body
shape, which looks very nice on the photo,
so he gladly overlooked the color defect
and kept her in his kennel. She is a well-
built bitch, who stands beautifully on her
legs and excels by a beautiful long head
with black mask. Her character is very
sweet. She is not at all shy or nervous, but
on the contrary very watchful and sharp for
strangers. Her pure Arabian blood may
have a very favorable influence on the
breed here in the country, especially since
her owner plans to have her mated to the
newly imported Arabian Senoessï.
