The words " pet centres " were used.

Also QAWS doesn't only have salukis, but also some pure breeds, and lots of mixed breeds.

QAWS does have a strict criteria to adoptions, but nationality doesn't come into it. In our experience, Indians make good pet owners - we have adopted a number of our animals out to Indian families.

I do not however like your justification for buying a "better breed" and cannot support your decision for buying from the souq.

Souq animals die! That is the normal situation and the more people that support the place, put more animals at risk of dying.

The more they sell the more they import - They do not care that 3 days later the animal dies - they made their money back from you... and them some.
