Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Hayat Salukis located in Cameron, NC. I am a hobby breeder of Salukis with a focus primarily on the conformation ring, but my dogs also lure course and do other fun sports. Please note that I do not place puppies by color preference and I do not breed temperaments that are typically suitable to service dog homes.
Lauren’s experience
About Lauren
I am a hobby/show breeder of high-quality Salukis. It is important to me to preserve diversity as well as type, function, good temperament, and health in the breed. I do not produce a litter unless each of my parent dogs are fully healthy and excellent representations of the standard.
What makes Lauren’s program special
I am purposeful in everything that I do regarding my dogs, which includes careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments that are exemplary representations of the breed.

I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Scent introduction, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, Various sounds, gun shots, Outdoors (when Weather permits), Various Surfaces , Strangers, Toys, e.g. Ball, Household Desensitization, Grooming Desensitization, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Grooming and Nail Care, Early socialization, Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) , surface and tactile stimulation, Potty pads,, and Basic manners.
