Introduction

Graceful and dignified, the Saluki carries an air of aristocracy unmatched by other breeds. This svelte hound is known for its incredible speed and endurance, originally bred for hunting in the Middle East. Standing up to 28 inches at the shoulder, Salukis boast a silky coat and deep, soulful eyes. While reserved with strangers, they show a gentle affection towards their owners. Their tranquil demeanor makes them amenable housemates, but they require regular exercise to satisfy their chase instincts.
