Kennel
Z Tripu
A prestigious Czech breeding kennel devoted to the beauty, elegance, and grace of Salukis and Whippets. Three decades of passion, champions, and timeless excellence.
A Legacy of Elegance
Kennel Z Tripu was founded in 1996 by Jitka Matelova with a singular vision: to breed Salukis and Whippets that embody the timeless grace, athletic prowess, and noble character these ancient sighthound breeds are revered for.
Over three decades, our kennel has produced multiple international champions, excelling in both show rings and performance events across Europe. From FCI international exhibitions to coursing and racing competitions, Z Tripu dogs consistently demonstrate the perfect harmony of beauty and function.
Today, together with Alexandra Matelova, we continue our commitment to responsible breeding, health testing, and preserving the extraordinary heritage of these magnificent breeds.
Salukis
The royal dog of Egypt — one of the oldest known breeds of domesticated dog. Our Salukis represent the finest bloodlines, combining timeless elegance with athletic excellence.

Whippets
The Whippet — a medium-sized sighthound that combines incredible speed with gentle temperament. Our Whippets are bred for both show excellence and loving companionship.
With six litters (A through F), our Whippet program has produced outstanding dogs that excel in conformation shows and bring joy to families across Europe.
