The Arabian Saluki Center – Preserving the Pure Breed

 Hamad Al Ghanem, Director, Registrar General and Breeder of the Arabian Saluki Center in Abu Dhabi, UAE, is well known for his outstanding expertise in the Saluki breed on the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. Being a fifth generation breeder, Mr. Al Ghanem continues the tradition of his family, which has been breeding the Asil Saluki, the purest breed of Arabian Salukis, for more than seven decades. His advice and continued efforts to preserve the pure breed is recognized by the Emirates’ Falconers Club, and Saluki lovers from all over the world seek his advice. Furthermore, Mr. Al Ghanem is a consultant of the Abu Dhabi Environmental Agency.
