SALUKI
History - The saluki was used to hunt gazelles in ancient Egypt over 5,000 years ago and may be the oldest breed known to humans.
Temperament - Salukis, superb sight hounds, are quiet, gentle dogs that exhibit a catlike aloofness. They are not demonstrative or playful, but if they are left alone for long periods without human companionship, they will become destructive. Often reserved and timid with strangers, they are usually tolerant of gentle children over eight years old, but they should not be left unsupervised with younger children. Their great speed and endurance can get them into trouble if allowed off their leash in unsecured areas, as they may not be able to resist chasing cats or other small animals. They do get along with other dogs. Salukis do best in suburban or country settings. City noise and activity may make these sensitive dogs nervous.
Upkeep - There are two varieties of salukis, one has slight feathering on the legs, back of the thights, and ears; the other has no feathering. The coat on both is smooth, soft, and silky and comes in white, cream, fawn, golden, red, grizzle, tan, tricolor. They should be brushed once a week. They require a lot of daily exercise or become destructive. They should be kept on a leash when walking.
Size - height 21-28 inches, weight 40-60 pounds.
