Salukis are considered holy and often revered as "a sacred gift of Allah". The Bedouin’s believe that the "Saluki is the hound of Allah; and must therefore be perfect." Because the Saluki was considered holy, they were allowed to live among the tribe in the tents. No other dog or creature was even allowed this privilege.
At Basop, our Salukis live among us. It is important that they first be a part of the family. Beyond this, we strive for excellence in the show ring and on the coursing field.
