Before you make the decision to buy a slaver hound you probably considered buying another animal. I mean there are all kinds of animals for sale on the market. For example we have a wide variety of cats and dogs as popular pets. While there are small cats and big cats such as lions they all have one disadvantage in common. It is next to impossible to tame them and to teach them some useful tricks. With dogs it's different. Here we got big dogs and small dogs, too but compared to cats all dogs are much better suited to learn some tricks. Unfortunately even the biggest dogs don't have the strength of a lion if you are looking for an animal you can teach some tricks and an animal with some strength at the same time. With such interests the obvious choice is a slaver hound.
So now you know you definitely want a slaver hound but you don't know what to do next? A good idea is to check the papers of the animal. Here you can see the heritage of the bargain. A young slaver hound with good papers has the highest chance to become a proper and valueable animal once it's grown to full size. As better the papers, as longer the list of ancestors with good names, as higher the prize for a good reason. Even a gallentean cattleman will agree with this statement. There are millions of offers but the real quality offers with really good papers become rare and expensive. A gallentean cattleman for example pays the price of hundreds if not thousends of cows for a really good breeding bull.
All this work can be done at your desktop at home without looking at a single slaver hound in natura. Assuming you got the isk to pay for a high quality slaver hound with good papers and you've found an offer on the market, the final step should be a personal checkup. Best thing you can do is to take a trustworthy person with you who really knows how to check a slaver hound. Of course there are breeders from whom you can buy blindly because they have a reputation to loose. On the other hand there are many black sheeps in this business. Even a slaver hound with good papers can be a bad choice. Sometimes a caprice of nature or the simple but avoidable (and extremely rare) mistake of inbreeding can be a reason for bad quality even with good papers. Another problem might occur if you buy a grown up animal which grew up under circumstances not appropriate to the species. You should only buy a grown up slaver hound from a person you really know and trust. Almost in all cases it's the better choice to buy your slaver hound at a very young age, though. The genes, the heritage matters but the environment in which a yound slaver hound grows up will mold the character of the animal, too.

Also while they might look a bit thin, with the right sauce and spices Slave hounds are really delicious, and can be a highlight of any diner party.

I must admit I was disappointed to see my thread go to page two without a single reply. With this in mind I should be glad this Minmatar bumped it back to the top although his answer lacks quality. It's hillarious to see how his answer verifies the statement I made. A little hint: while I was indeed talking about slaver hounds I was addressing something different. Something that recently happened in the Amarr Empire.
