Before you choose

Not sure which breed yet?

In the UAE, five questions matter most: how the breed copes with a Gulf summer, whether they settle in a flat, how many hours they spend alone, how much grooming the dust adds, and who looks after them when you travel in summer.

Or let a rescue choose you.

Salukis, Arabian Maus and baladi crosses turn up in UAE shelters, each one hoping for a sofa of their own. While you're still deciding, it's worth meeting a few, in case one decides for you.
