Salukis are an ancient breed dating back to Ancient Egypt. They were documented to hunt among the ancient kings (American Kennel Club, n.d.). Courtney has an interest in Ancient Egypt and was looking for a fitting prefix.
Sopdet is an ancient goddess known for the dog star. She had many roles, including the goddess of fertility, motherhood, and being a nurse. Sopdet helped with guiding the pharaohs, bringing on the New Year (Hill, 2016).
This seemed fitting as Courtney is a mother and registered nurse. The mission of Sopdet is to guide others through the love of purebred dogs and helping their dogs strive to their fullest potential.
