About The Breed

The Saluki, also known as the Persian Greyhound, is an ancient and graceful sighthound breed renowned for its speed, agility, and elegance. With a slender, aerodynamic build and a silky, flowing coat, the Saluki is one of the oldest domesticated dog breeds, originally bred by nomadic tribes in the Middle East for hunting large game like gazelles and hares. This breed is intelligent, independent, and reserved, often forming a strong bond with its family but remaining aloof or cautious around strangers. Salukis are known for their gentle and calm temperament indoors, but they are highly energetic and require ample exercise, such as long runs in safe, enclosed areas. Their keen eyesight and instinct to chase make them ideal for activities like lure coursing or open-field running. Salukis are quiet, low-maintenance dogs in terms of grooming, requiring only periodic brushing to maintain their coat. Due to their high prey drive and independent nature, they are best suited for experienced dog owners who can provide both physical and mental stimulation.
