  The Arabian Bedouins |
| The Arabian Bedouins still hunt with the Salukis in packs of between two and six hounds, and they train their Salukis to hunt with falcons as part of a team. Their intelligence and independence enables them to successfully operate in the hunt without direct supervision of their masters. The Saluki is more affectionate towards his master than a father is towards his son, and truly can be regarded as man’s best friend. Hamad explained that the Salukis ate what their masters ate, sharing their tents and their food. Milk headed the diet list, followed by rice, dates olives chicken and meat. Today although prepared foods are used in Hamad’s breeding kennels, he has not abandoned some of the traditional ways of feeding. Water is always kept in a clay pot, which ensures that it stays fresh and cold in the heat. A few drops of rose water or leqah –(water flavoured with palm tree blossoms), will be added for taste. A Saluki will never drink dirty water and will refuse.
