ABOUT THE IAASC
Guardians Of The Saluki Breed
The International Aseel Arabian Saluki Center is a cultural heritage NGO dedicated to protecting the Aseel Arabian Saluki from the threat of extinction due to crossbreeding. The IAASC was founded in 1926 as a social group for Saluki owners, we then evolved into a Facebook group for 25 years, before becoming officially licensed in 2013, by Order of the Royal Court of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The IAASC is world's first Arabic purebred Saluki registry and serves as the governing body for Saluki sports in the Kingdom. The center's activities include dog shows and racing, with plans to introduce other exciting sports like agility, obedience, rally, tracking, earthdog, and herding trials. Through a comprehensive program of services and support, the IAASC aims to enrich the lives of Salukis.
We work to preserve the history, heritage and breeding lines of the Arabian Saluki for future generations.
