Overview: | The Saluki is a very well behaved dog indoors, but needs a lot of serious exercise outdoors. This is a very fast breed with an independent nature, very devoted to his owner and willing to learn with patient training. |
Breed Group: | Hound |
Weight (lbs): | 35-65 |
Height (in): | males: 23-28, females: 17-23 |
Colors: | White, cream, fawn, golden, red, grizzle, black and tan, tricolor, or any of these on a white background. |
Coat: | Hair is smooth and silky. The hair on the back of the legs, ears, and tail should be longer and feathery. The smooth variety has no long feathering. |
Character: | Salukis are very independent and seem to have a mind of their own. They've peaceful, however, always enjoying the company of their owner. These dogs are cautious around strangers and have a very strong hunting instinct. |
Temperament: | This breed gets along well with dogs that have a similar nature. They have a strong hunting instinct, however, so may not be suitable for living with other animals (especially cats). |
Care: | The smooth coat needs only occasional brushing to remove dead hair, but the longer feathering needs combing once or twice a week. |
Training: | This breed is very stubborn, never really becoming obedient. An owner needs patience and a consistent approach to training. |
Activity: | Salukis need a lot of exercise, but should be allowed to run free only when in a fenced area or when well trained to respond to the owner. Go bicycle riding with the Saluki trotting alongside. |
Health Issue: | No major or minor concerns; Cardiomyopathy is occasionally seen. Sensitive to anesthesia. |
Life Expectancy: | 12-14 |
