Aeolus Salukis are family members.
They live in the home with their people. The puppies are raised in our home. Time spent with baby puppies is essential. We sleep alongside the whelping pen for several weeks. We only breed when we have the time to immerse ourselves in the type of care we believe is crucial to the development of sound social skills and temperament. All puppies are raised equally. This means that the extensive socialization is given to ALL puppies regardless of potential for performance or show.
The more time you spend in the first year of your pup’s life teaching and training him how to be a good dog, the more fun you will have when he/she is an adult.
We like to see pups who are active with their owners regardless of intent to show or compete. We require puppy kindergarten classes that last at least 6 weeks and begin before the puppy turns 4 months old. *Proof of class enrollment is required to take your puppy home* We also provide a scavenger hunt in the puppy packet which a fun way to continue socialization. Taking your puppy to 3 new places and meet 3 new people each week is a great rule of thumb!
Aeolus Salukis are given the best start at life possible.
Aeolus puppies have been on car rides, play with puppy safe adult dogs of various breeds, have free-play to run in the grass, play small learning games, are cuddled and held, and they have spent time alone in a crate and with littermates. All of them react instantly to the various noises we use to call them for different things. We also desensitize them to various sounds such as fireworks, airplanes, trains, dog barking, sirens, baby cries, etc.
We believe a good breeder is available to answer questions.
It is important to be available to help those new to the breed and to direct new owners towards resources that will assist them towards having a healthy, happy companion. Facebook is often the best way to reach me, although the phone is a great tool as well!
If at any time, for any reason, a dog produced by us cannot stay with its original family, it must be returned to us!
