Saluki dog breed guide and information

66

By peacemaker765

The graceful and beautiful Saluki is usually quiet indoors, but is active outdoors and needs serious exercise. This dog is fast. Because of his independent nature, training him takes patience and humor. He is devoted to his family but does not usually warm up to strangers.

Temperament: The Saluki is an outstanding companion with their family. The Saluki has not only been bred by the bedouin as a hunter for thousands of years, but as a beautiful, elegant, intelligent and loyal companion also. Salukis can be quite sensitive and become emotionally attached to their owners. The Saluki is very gentle with children and can be a friend with undying loyalty. Overall the Saluki is a loving, elegant, intelligent and loyal dog that may be right for you if you have the time and commitment that it takes to owning this wonderful breed of dog.
