Sahar Paz Salukis

I'm Sahar G., the breeder behind Sahar Paz Salukis located in Grass Valley, CA. Our Desert-bred Salukis are first and foremost family dogs. They are sporty, classy and come from healthy working lines. About Us — Sahar Paz Salukis Sahar Paz Salukis was established in 2022 in Grass Valley, born from a deep respect for the Saluki’s ancient heritage and a modern commitment to life as a beloved companion. Our lines are directly descended from the Neshama Tova lines in Israel and are first-generation desert-bred imports. As of 2026, our dogs carry no American genetics, preserving authentic type, temperament, and athleticism. While our Salukis honor their history, they are bred first and foremost as pets and family members—dogs meant to live in the home, bond deeply with their people, and share everyday life. Our dogs have already proven themselves in the show ring. One of our own, Hornet, recently became the first Sahar Paz Saluki to earn a Championship title, a milestone we are incredibly proud of. Athletically, our lines shine in simulated hunting sports, excelling in Lure Coursing and Fast CAT, where their natural speed, drive, and grace truly come alive. So far, we have welcomed two litters: The Kittyhawk Litter (December 2023), consisting of 3 males and 4 females—4 smooth-coated and 3 feathered. The Lockheed Litter (January 2026) consisting of 1 male and 3 females - 3 feathered, 1 smooth. Genetically, our lines are equally likely to produce smooth or feathered Salukis, reflecting the natural balance seen in traditional desert-bred stock. At Sahar Paz Salukis, we are honored to steward this extraordinary breed—preserving its heritage, celebrating its versatility, and raising Salukis who are as cherished at home as they are impressive in the field.
