Salukis are special dogs for responsible owners. Buy a puppy from a responsible breeder. A responsible breeder will encourage you to visit his or her Salukis in order to get to know the temperaments and personalities of their dogs. A prospective purchaser should see the conditions in which the breeding stock is living, and the facilities. An ethical breeder will be willing to offer references. Most reputable breeders require a contract with owners. Such a contract includes a provision for the return of the dog, if the buyer is unable to keep it.
A responsible breeder should show you the dam and sire of the puppies. A complete three generations pedigree is essential, if you are buying a purebred Saluki. Before buying a Saluki puppy, you should be well informed about possible health concerns in the breed. Occasional health problems can crop up in any line. What is important is what the breeder has done to screen his dogs for potential problems and to genetically improve the breed with every litter produced.
Reputable breeders stay in touch with the owners of their Salukis. They feel responsible to help if any problem occurs and to answer your questions throughout the dog's life.
