Ulmarah Salukis - Saluki Breeder - Stanthorpe, Qld
Saluki, Azawakh Dog Breeder - Stanthorpe, QLD
Ulmarra salukis started in Ireland in 2003 with the Australian import Multi Ch Padtheway Notorious (imp Aus), with the first litter being bred in 2006. Over the next few years, Ulmarra Salukis were successful in the show ring in Ireland, Bermuda, UK, and on the continent. In 2017 I returned to Australia and now have ULMARAH Salukis based in Stanthorpe Qld.
There was a successful dual sired frozen semen litter born late November 2020. No further litters are planned for the foreseeable future.
My dogs have always lived with families and enjoy being shown, lure coursing, and lying on the sofa.

Our standards & practices
Health testing & screening
Question. Do you health test appropriately (eg hip and elbow X-ray scoring, DNA testing), and understand the genetic issues that may affect your breed? If your breed is prone to health issues, what are they, and what testing practices do you have in place?
Answer. Yes.Primary issues for salukis are heart issues and my bitch will be tested about 1 month prior to mating.
Preparation & socialisation
Question. Do you ensure that your puppies are properly socialised?
Answer. Yes.In Ireland my son was great with this, bringing friends around. Back here I have grandchildren who will help but additionally I walk my dogs into Stanthorpe town and to markets to ensure socialisation.
Placement & matching
Question. Is making sure your puppies go to the right homes a priority? How do you ensure they are placed in loving, responsible homes?
Answer. Yes.I ask for referees and also if they have a pet i ask for vets number and ring the vet. I also ring referees to check on how they look after animals.
Question. Do you have any of the following: conditions of sale, health guarantee or warranty, de-sexing agreement, a buyer questionnaire, verbal or personal interview?
Answer. Yes.Puppies are vet checked prior to leaving. I think desexing is up to the owners and would advise to wait till the pups are at least 12 months old. I usually question purchasers over the phone and get them to visit at least once prior to purchase.
Ongoing support
Question. Do you offer ongoing support?
Answer. Yes.Yes, I am still in contact with owners from my first litter in 2006 and of course the later owners.
Question. Do you assist the buyer with re-homing an animal that was purchased from you if they are unable to keep it?
Answer. Yes.This has happened twice to me and both dogs are in new fantastic homes
