riohog 5,701 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Had this old boy when I lived in the Middle East; got him given at 6 month and had him PTS at 17 years old. Pure bred Beduin Saluki; he would have added some decent blood to the UK stock, but unfortunately I never had the chance to import him; Still toying with the idea of bringing one in from Saudi, or the U.A.E. Cheers. good luck go ahead do it you only live once Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,033 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 When he died, I was given a replacement; unfourtunately it wasn't a Saluki !!! It was a Doberman !! I did import her, but that was before pets passports, and she had to do 6 month quarrantine, I wouldn't put a dog thru' that again, so I'm looking into the alternatives. Cheers. Quote Link to post

chartpolski 23,033 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Last time I was out to visit, Hamed offered me a pup, but insisted it didn't go in quarrantine, and preffered I had it from 3 month old, to socialise and train it. In Saudi there is the 2 month house quarrantine agreement with the UK now, so that may be the way to go. Cheers. Quote Link to post

It helps if you know the culture and the language when talking Salukis or Falcons to the Arabs. I lived there for 26 years and my son still lives there, so we have a slight advantage if I wanted to get the best. Cheers. Quote Link to post

mush 204 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 you missunderstood what i said .. instead of point and slip give them there head a bit more , they dont have a naturall instinct to hunt up they are pure sight hound ,,not scent hound ''by the way nice picture ive got of your nights lamping in the states !! Salukis have been bred for thousands of years as hunting dogs same way we hunt with our lurchers not just point and slip, because of this most salukis are very good at hunting up if you let them and even on the slip will if you know the signs let you know if there is any game around.
