aluki is
a Arabian-Persian sighthound with historical background and is considered
to be the worlds oldest now living breed. He is friendly, personal
and intelligent. Put in some time and effort and You end up with a
fantastic companion. As an adult the Saluki is calm and peaceful indoors
but loves to get a good run once or twice a day, i.e. he is "off"
indoors and "on" outdoors. The Saluki is very friendly,
but he might not love Your acquaintances as he loves Your family.
He can sometimes be conceived as being vain. He has no need to be
loved by all, but chooses instead his friends carefully.
ll important
in our breeding is the dogs temperament, soundness and construction.
These three ingredients has also resulted in that many the dogs of
our breeding has gone well in the showrings. We feel a good temperament
to be the most important. After all, it is in Your home that the dog
must function and spend the majority of his time. The Saluki is perfect
with children, but as with all other breeds it take mutual respect.
Dogs are not toys.
et it be
said that obedience is not what one associates with the Saluki, it
is not really a working dog. In our breeding we have however had several
dogs which have been good obedience dogs. We also have a bitch who
has in team with her mistress, been contracted by the Swedish army
as a guard/patrol dog.
ndoubtedly
it is not a easy thing to breed dogs. Have You once put dogs to the
world, is it once obligation to find good homes for them. That is
something we have as a motto and that we accomplished well.

Nord & Fin Uch Beduin.
