Country of Origin:
Iran - The Saluki and Sloughi have parallel histories and most likely date back to the same stem in the ancient Middle East. A painting dated 3600 BC shows such dogs. Esteemed by sheiks, they coursed gazelles and other game. Recognized by BKC in 1923, AKC in 1927, and CKC in 1938. They were never sold but presented as gifts reaching Europe eventually this way. First imported to Britain in 1895 but of little interest until after WW1. Recognized by UKC three years later and the US in 1927.
Character:
Salukis have a mind of their own, but are graceful, peaceful, and need to be with their owner. This dog is cautious around strangers and has a very strong hunting instinct.
Temperment:
This breed gets along well with dogs that are similar in nature. The hunting instinct is too strong in it to allow it to live with other types of animals.
Coat:
Smooth and silky. The hair on the back of the legs, ears, and tail should be longer and feathery. Colors can be three-colored (white, black, and brown), black with brown, grey, red, golden, cream, sandy, white or various combinations of those colors.
Care
Regular grooming with a brush and comb is required. Ears must be checked periodically to make sure they are clean.
Colour:
White, cream, fawn, golden, red, grizzle/tan, tricolor, black/tan

Companionship, Hunting, Watch Dog
