About the Saluki:
Saluki information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

The Saluki is a low-key, low maintenance dog. They require minimal grooming, a brisk rub down once a week will suffice. They should have plenty of exercise, either by access to a large fenced area or daily walks. The outline of the last few pairs of ribs should be clearly visible, otherwise the animal is overweight.

Sensitive and intelligent, the Saluki should never be trained using force or hard-handed methods. They are usually quiet and don't bark unless there is a reason. They are extremely athletic and can easily clear a 6 foot fence. Because of their speed and jumping ability they should not be allowed off-lead except in a fully fenced area. They become very attached to their family and may become protective of their people and property. They should be carefully introduce to small furry animals as they may view them as prey.
