Falkor was rehomed with 2 female sighthounds but unfortunately one of them was displaying worrying resource guarding behaviour with him we have seen a video and witnessed it.

 

Toys were taken directly to him whilst snarling and also inviting him to play when he went to reciprocate she heightened her behaviour. Falkor told her off then left the room to avoid more conflict showing absolutely fabulous manners and restraint. The same behaviour was shown around food and other high value items by her.

 

It was said that he did play rough when they played together with head and neck biting. This though is typical sighthound play.

Falkor needs a home with a kind and gentle female lurcher or Saluki. His own breed who understands the usual play styles and will have fun but also teach him boundaries. We will not home him alongside a resident male dogs. As a young hound he does need a home with someone around all or most of the time.

 

He is fine to be left alone for short periods with the company of a female companion but as with all puppies he is an opportunist chewer at times.

 

Falkor is not cat friendly but can be rehomed with dog savvy children 8 plus.

 

Out on walks you literally in the main do not know you have him on the lead. However, typically young male Saluki Falkor can be a little vocal and pushy when first meeting dogs on lead. Off lead in an enclosed area he is good with dogs and actually a little subservient to them.

 

Falkor travels like a dream. In fact he travels so well when we collected him from the stray kennels we had to question twice that we had actually loaded him.

 

Falkor is vaccinated, kc vaccinated, de flead, de wormed, microchipped and has been castrated. Normally we’d allow a little more time to mature but his testicles were retained.

 

As stunning as Salukis are often they are not a novice owners dog. They need a sensible owner who understands that they tend to be quite aloof at times with those outside of their family and also willing to ensure he is kept safe.

 

Falkor is currently located at our kennels in Stoke on Trent. Anyone wishing to offer Falkor a home would need to be willing to travel to meet him with all immediate members of the family and any current resident dogs.
