About salukis
This Egyptian breed has been traced back to millennia ago, where it was considered a noble breed, owned only by royalty and often mummified alongside Egyptian pharaohs. After spreading to England in the 1800s, the Saluki was nicknamed “Persian Greyhound.” The Saluki has two varieties (smooth and feathered) and has incredible running ability and endurance. These tall, slender dogs are reserved and sensitive in nature, but can do well with families and children. Salukis excel with plenty of room to run.
