Celebrating heritage through contest
Organised annually by the Arabian Saluki Center, the beauty contest is more than a competition. It is a celebration of heritage. Judges assessed the dogs on gait, head structure, eyes, coat, and behaviour, ensuring that the breed’s traditional traits and exceptional qualities are preserved.
Visitors to ADIHEX also experienced demonstrations of traditional hunting practices, while breeders shared insights into the dedication required to raise and train these prized dogs. Through such events, the Saluki continues to bridge the gap between the past and present, highlighting its enduring role in UAE culture.
