Getting a Puppy from Us
The first consideration is an understanding of space . Salukis require space, the more the better. Space to run, space to dig, space to chase. The Saluki is hardwired to run, his joy as he stretches out, is something that should never be denied to him. In his early years, a Saluki will ALWAYS choose the chase over the couch. His space MUST be fenced as he will not heed traffic in his desire to run.
Ishtahaba Djin Photo copyright Big Paw Prints 2007 Time, The Salukis is a social hound. While not a demanding breed, although the pressing of the head on your arm while staring at you intently is very demanding, his nature is not to fawn. He will greet you with great enthusiasm or he may turn his back on you in disdain, depending on his mood, but he will seek out your company. The Saluki wants to be with you; either a quiet companion or enthusiastic friend, he thrives as an active member of the family.
Sarban and Monika Dahncke The hunting instinct Our hounds are never more than three generations from County of Origin, most often we will have Salukis available that are either one or two generations from the desert. This means that temperaments are still those of the hound in the Middle East. He is a hound honed by millennias of selection to be the perfect hunting companion in these areas. He is highly intelligent, discriminating and independent. Because of his ability to hunt effectively on his own, the Saluki does not need you, he wants to be with you. Failure to understand this key component of the Saluki will result in an unhappy hound and an unhappy person.

To deny this truth is to deny the Saluki. If you have the space, the time , the understanding of who the Saluki is please contact us. We breed every one to two years, occasionally have young adults and always know where the Kurdish litters are. UPCOMING LITTERS
We are currently accepting a limited number of reservations for the litter out of Nazee, due in mid-February. This will be a Generation 1 litter sired by the Gen 1 Iranian male, Melik I'saar .
