"It's like living with royalty." This is what I always thought of Salukis. There's just something so regal and graceful about their stance, movement, and general physical appearance. So monarch-level.
Hounds are more sensitive and more aware. I have a hound and she is the best company & always tells me when something isn't right. Not a Salukis of course-
saluki is common here in saudi arabia saluki is not for fighting or gaurding but excellent for hunting or being a family member also can talorate our hot climate very fast and the cleanest dogs you ever could have

We adopted one female saluki from Oman last year, beautiful and amazing creatures, and hilarious sometimes, we definitely will keep adopting Salukis in the future, brown tabbies and Salukis will be our forever family members.
The interview went so well and it was very informative with regard to the Salukis. I can definitely listen to the couple the whole day telling us just how great the Salukis are! You can tell that they really are hands-on parents to their dogs. Maybe you can do another interview for the Chihuahua? I'm sold!
I lived in the Dominican Republic in the late 90s. My dad agreed that we could get a dog. His vet for our cats had rescued a pregnant street dog and offered us one of her puppies. I was so excited when we were able to pick our puppy up. Adorable puppy as they all are, I had no idea that I would be getting THE most special being to come into my life. We named him Chico and couldn’t wait for him to grow and see what kind of dog he was. He grew into a lean, elegant, amazing looking dog that everyone would ask what kind of dog is that. We didn’t know, he was so unique looking and just as human like as he could be. So we swabbed his mouth and sent out for his DNA analysis. He was majority Saluki mixed with unknown hound. We had never heard of this dog and were so surprised to read up on their origins. We have always wondered how a Dominican street dog had a dog part Saluki 🤷♀️. I’m SO grateful she did! Best dog EVER. A once in a lifetime type dog. I will never forget him, he lived 18 years. He was fantastic! This video reminds me of him because the similarities are amazing. I would love to own another one day. Chico always behaved as if he were human 😄
Most of the dogs in Dominican Republic, the street dogs, are sight hounds. They were brought by Christopher Columbus to help them get food in these lands they knew nothing about. That is why a lot of them look so skinny, which is sad because people look down on them thinking they're sick because you can see their ribs and whatnot. I too hung out with these dogs, took me a while to discover their breed, but once you do realize they are hunting dogs everything makes sense. They are the most gentle and magestic dog I've met, a true companion and an asset to any person or family regardless of how active they are. I would never pay for a dog, only Saluki or another sight hound, only dog worth my money.
We adopted a rescue Saluki mix from Qatar, and I'm amazed at how well he corners and runs considering he only has three legs! They're amazing animals and I'd love to adopt more!
I had 2 Saluki's, we trained them not to chew things and not to beg or steal food, they learned very quickly and were the most respectful dogs. It is also possible to train so that they will not run after squirrels while off leash, but that does take quite a bit of time. Truly Incredible creatures.
😂👍 We live in the UK and used to have a saluki x greyhound he loved to sit on my lap like a cat. If we tried to keep him out of the bedroom at night he would howl to be with us. He once jumped straight over a 1.5 meter high gate from standing and chased the paper boy on his bike. Thankfully the paperboy wasn't hurt and had a sense of humor and was laughing as i prized the dogs jaws from his trousers leg. Somebody once put their hand into our daughter's pram he had hold of their wrist before i could blink. but he was so gentle he didnt even scratch them. He had a quirky personality and constantly made us laugh. R.I.P Barney..
Kaitlyn Jenkins shar pei dogs can be great apartment dogs and don't need much exercise only around 40 mins however are very stubborn and not a good first time dog has they need lots of training and lots of grooming to care for the wrinkles on them. Borzois need lots of space and a exercise and lots of training they also aren't the best in living in apartments but they are a loving affectionate breed to their owners. I would suggest doing more research as well so you can get all the info you need on these breeds!
We had a male borzoi who was unfortunately a bit agressive. They can be very nervous and agressive, I've heard from many other borzoi owners. But of course loved him to bits. It was very hard with him, but he was obedient as can be. Could walk off leash, once he even went after a rabbit in the woods, but came back with just one call back. The older he got, the harder it was with him (but we also blame the breeder for carrying on with breeding a nervous mom)
@@TheGardenOfMae Western-bred shar pei have a lot of health problems and low quality of life because of it. Inverted eyelashes rubbing against their eyes, stenotic nares (nostrils pinched shut), tons of skin problems. They are very loyal to one person although still aloof towards them and can be nice enough with tons and I mean tons of socialization as a pup, but still not exactly friendly or "doggy", same thing as with Akitas, Chows, etc. You need a professional puppy trainer involved from day 1. They are known for having a quiet, short fuse like those two as well - no growling, straight to the bite. Not a good choice for families. If you're still interested there are healthier "traditional"/"bone mouth" shar pei breeders out there but very expensive and hard to find. A somewhat similar breed to the traditional shar pei is the Thai Ridgeback. Borzoi are known to be more neurotic and wild-animal-like than the other sighthounds, they are a sight to behold but require a very specific lifestyle. Namely living in the secluded Russian wilderness as a hunting hound. Go for a greyhound, whippet or saluki instead if you think a sighthound is right for you.
The very moment this rare and extrem elegant dog enters your life, nothing will be the same!!! In no time will be the king of your heart & house. Very good interview.
Simply the world most beautiful dogs.. Ive had the pleasure of owning greyhounds and also a part saluki lurchers.. There is something about sight hounds apart from the occasional mischief are so relaxing to have around the movement of them is pure grace
My greyhound deerhound mix can jump a six foot fence without a running start. I love watching him run. Such a great and loving dog. He is a prince though, big time spoiled crybaby. Sight hounds are really special.
Totally amazing, we enjoyed our wonderful friend till his age took him, thank you Levi for educating us and the time we had together in Ruovesi, Finland …
I have a rescue saluki from the UAE and he is the loveliest doggo there could be. I agree that is a very clean smelling animal. I let him off leash outside once to see what would happen and he went walkabout for about 1.5 hours. Never doing that again. He is sweet tempered and neurotic about a handful of things but he trusts me and has learned to overcome so many fears.
From what organization did you adopt? I used to volunteer at 2 shelters a while ago and I kept recommending salukis to visitors in fact I have 2 salukis 😂
Wow, you're very fortunate he came back at all! When we adopted from STOLA we signed papers that we would never let them off leash unless in an enclosed area with a 6+ foot fence.
@@janet-Spirit_of_the_Living_God yeah I didn’t have an enclosed back yard for a few weeks when I moved and took a risk after three years of owning him. Never again.

Although I don't agree with most of your training methods, or lack thereof with certain behaviors, I still appreciate the spotlight you've given to this astounding and loving breed
Thank you so much for this video. I am finding myself completely falling in love with this breed and greatly considering purchasing one, and eventually two. They are magnificent in so many ways.
Love the work covered my favorite breeds so far Doberman Rhodesian ridgeback Belgian malinois Weimaraner German shorthaired pointer Saluki Now just need to see greyhound and standard poodle and I’ll be good lol
Very sensible one minute and daft as a brush the next. Loving dogs, who are good for everyone. Recently lost our boy, Osh, who was a rehome and aged about 15 when he went - such a great dog and really missed. We had ours with cats and no problem, happy around kids of all ages, love food and not fussy on what they eat. They will generally do whatever it is you want to do until they decide it's their turn and that's when the personality comes out. Osh would always stamp his front paws on the floor like some petulant child telling off their parents.... but always in a fun way. Quite vocal when they want/need to be. Not really a guard dog as such, but were great for telling me when the mobile phone/MS Teams was calling... the dog knew what a ring tone was and would always alert me to it. Seemed to naturally understand any and all commands related to sleeping/bed etc. Super dog breed and one I can highly recommend for anyone.
We have saluki cross greyhound pup and hes very sneaky and cheeky haha definitely manipulative and food motivated. Just like yours 2-3 zoomies and 2 daily walks/ runs will keep him happy. Hes very stubborn and loves my son. He just cant be left alone he howl and whines. Hes very talkative as well. Especially if he wants food or everyone to shut up and go to sleep hahaha love him to bits!
I’m getting a beautiful silver saluki and I’m going to call her Cleo after Cleopatra as the breed originated in Egypt and Salukis generally give off a regal vibe to me
My highschool mascot is a Saluki!! In the 70s our school combined with another school and decided on the name because the sports conference we were part of was the North Egypt Conference (I think southern Illinois is known as North Egypt, don't ask me why). It also had to do with SIU being the Salukis.
Salukis are so beautiful! What I don't get though is why you would punish (spray bottle) your dog for communicating (growling) When they growl they ask for more space and to be leaved alone, so just separate the dogs and problem solved. Punishing them can leading to dogs that bite first ask later
soup sandwich you should look into positive reinforcement training as well as the dominance theory being disproven over a decade ago. Scolding your dog or making them “submit” has been proven to have adverse reactions, whether it’s now or later with other behavioral issues. I would never set my dogs up for failure with toys, food or anything that one is possessive over. My dogs eat separately, chew on high value treats separately, but can play with toys together.
No it does not you really need to look into proper application of punishment separating them doesnt correct the problem it just manages it, dogs that arent correctly punished at an appropriate level may not respond to it. I suggest looking solidk-9training. Positive training doesnt correct problem behaviors, the lack of no is always yes when it comes to dogs. If you do not correct a dog it will not understand that it cant do something a dog will not understand no if you say no without a correction.
@@houseoftheshepherddogs7944 abuse and being killed = abusive, no shit. Letting a race hound chase a rabbit or rag or whatever they use isn't abuse tho, you can't force em to run, I'd they don't wanna run, they won't, I see nothing wrong with letting them race. Any breed can be abused, its not just sporting and working Dogs. Most toy breeds are inside a house all day and are overweight, that's abuse, letting a sighthound do what it's meant to do, run, is not
yes and the fact Florida voted to ban racing will have a massive impact, in a short time the 4000BC history of the greyhound could become extinct! people will stop breeding! the people of Florida should have voted against greyhounds being used by US forces as war dogs!
Totally correct about everything. Thank you. Having been married to a Saluki ( please laugh ) 35 years ago, he was a Prince. X x oo, my darling Pagan. Beautiful creature. Wish that I could post his picture.
Are we not going to talk about the amazing names of these dogs, they named their salukis after Game of Thrones characters. John, Aria, Khaleesi, and Missandei.
For Years, I've always been so fascinated by this breed, the Salukis. They just look so graceful and look like a great dog to have around the house. Hopefully in the near future, I get to own one of these one day. Can you please create a TOP TEN best Dog breeds to have in an Apartment setting ? that would be great!
I have a saluki mix in an apartment and when we’re not walking he’s just sleeping. When I take him to my partners with their big yard and dog, he’ll play a little and pass out under his favourite tree by the pond again.
Thanks so much for this video. I have always loved Salukis, but have never owned one or even been around one very much other than at Dog Shows. I would own one or ten in a heartbeat. Thanks again for the video.
Adored our Saluki, she was very nurturant and mothered two stray kittens and also a jack russel puppy. . Is her huge.y but I am now too old to consider taking on another.
I have a Lurcher, she is a Saluki cross whippet, But she's extremely Saluki dominant. Most don't even beleive me when I tell them she's a lurcher. She's the most Human dog in the world. If you smile at her, she squints her eyes and smiles back. She always steals food off the counter whenever possible and claims ownership of the couch whenever she can. She lives with a Bichon and Another Lurcher (Woolfhound cross Pointer) I love this breed
I got what I thought was a great Pyrenees but as she grew it was obvious she wasn't purebred. Did a DNA test on her and she's got Saluki in her. Not much but it explains her structure, her bark and whine sound, she's 75% pyrenees but she has almost all the characteristics of a Saluki. It's nice to finally understand why she's the way she is.
Correction; They are "the" oldest breed in history descended from the wolf. They are "the" fastest top speed dog faster than the greyhound, as well as have the most endurance, far more endurance than greyhounds, there bones are full of hollows like a birds, their lungs work differently. There spine is designed differently frim thousands of years of breeding to rotate & flex. Behaviourally they sleep all day, can be nippy, so not the best for having very young children, these guys have been lucky with the cat, I deffinatley don't recommend any animal in the house small enough to for them to kill. The most agressive guard dogs you could get. These guys have been lucky by training them from from puppies, but in general they can be VERY Agressive & try to kill other dogs, if you get a rescue that hasn't been trained or treated well then you will need to muzzle them any time you leave the house with them. As stated in the video you cannot let them off the lead unless they are in an enclosure, they will run off into traffic & depending on their upbringing may try to attack & kill any animal that moves. I have had lots of different breeds of dog & 2 full bred salukis & two saluki crosses, even the full bred puppy saluki could be incredibly aggressive to the older saluki & took over. They are the most beautiful breed of all dogs, very clever & have the most human personalities of all dogs but be warned of the aggression in some of these dogs, you can not train them out of something they have been bred do to for 10 thousand years, which is to run around the dessert killing gazelles & anything else that moves.
Afghans still hold that title but yes they are beautiful and very elegant but so are Afghans. I have a greyhound who I adore as he has such a quirky persona
Hi, I do have my second Saluki right now... 24/7 wiht here... again... I do have 3 child... yes Salukis like childreen... but it is possible to let childreen going out in freedome... I am also able to let Saluki going out in freedome without catching any deere or rabitte... it is working with strong force by my selfe... best dog in between cat I ever did... schöne Grüße Jürgen
My mother’s side of the family is into showing, like showing dogs and we own Salukis. Currently we own 5, we didn’t train them to not chase things or bark or chew things or anything else, but we did train them to sit, lay down, stay, etc. they are truly magnificent creatures, and a huge part to me is that they all have such unique personalities. They grow strong bonds and make social groups, it’s beautiful to own one. Truly like living with royalty. My siblings and I must have helped grow them to be used to kids, so I would say if they’ve been around kids their whole lives, they will be friendly towards them. My family used to own 6 Salukis and if we still had twilight we would’ve had 7. We own one smooth Saluki while the rest are all feathered, Salukis are also very good at turning fast. Our Salukis chase each other around the yard switching between who’s being chased. Sometimes, if it’s just two in the yard, Anthem and Cisco will chase each other flipping back and forth until they stumble away or have to go inside. Sense Salukis are sight hounds, they are very observant, but one of ours, JL, often stares at the tv watching it. It’s very true that Salukis are couch lovers, so to help them we made a rule that they can only be on the couch if they are on a blanket or someone’s lap. This rule is broken by Anthem and occasionally shimmer.
1:46 that's a big miss conception, in Islam no dog is clean even salukis, meaning if they drink from a bowl and you want to drink from it you have to clean it several times, and you can come with any type of dog to help with hunting not only salukis, maybe saluki is famous for that because it was the only breed back then in the arabo Muslim world that were great on hunting but that doesn't mean that specific breed, and no dog is allowed in homes nor" tents " except for guard dogs.
Him: "They are like big cats. They will play for like half an hour here and there, but for the most part they sleep alot during the day" Her: "I would eh ah say ishegsbsjjshshshshshshsgshshshshshsh twenty to thirty minutes. Hwyehshhxyxzzshsh. And the rest of the time they sleep!" She interrupted him just to repeat what he said 😂😂😂
I was in Estonia this year competing in the Lure Coursing Championships with my Saluki and when I was in the city people would frequently stop me and ask for pictures because ''she looked like a princess'' so yeah, like living with royalty :)
I had 3 greyhounds and fostered many. At the dog park, when there were little dogs running around, I would simply put basket muzzles on the greys. That way I knew no one would get hurt if they chased.
David Rosas you don't go a day without laughing at cute things they do, love to cuddle, attached to me, gassy lol. Mine in particular is very high energy. He never stops moving and can run with big dogs. Once you have a frenchie you're automatically obsessed with every kind of bulldog you see!
"It's like living with royalty."

Not a Salukis of course-
I mean it’s reasonable since salukis are royalty in Bedouin tribes.

saluki is not for fighting or gaurding but excellent for hunting or being a family member
also can talorate our hot climate
very fast and the cleanest dogs you ever could have

That’s awesome Qassem :) They look like awesome family dogs!
Bro try standard poodles. More cleaner than other breeds,unless they roll in mud.
@@samfryer8132
there many reasons ( btw i have other breeds, canario + two german shepherds)
main reasons , no dog smell ( odor ) and they dont drool + they dont attack humans ( maybe if you train them to attack) + they usually dont interact with human physically ( independent) they like to have their own space
+ to us here in saudi arabia these the best dog can live in our climate where it s easy to reach 50 c in summer
there is misinformation that musilms use these dogs because they are clean as she said in this video
the turth is that this dog breed is available and used every where in middle east especially in the past ( where it is population are mainly muslims) + plus in islam dogs should not be pets or business ( buying and selling them) only if you need them for a reason like hunting or gaurding and saluki are excellent for hunting
Unfortunately this breed becomes recently as rich people pets

Not really a guard dog as such, but were great for telling me when the mobile phone/MS Teams was calling... the dog knew what a ring tone was and would always alert me to it. Seemed to naturally understand any and all commands related to sleeping/bed etc. Super dog breed and one I can highly recommend for anyone.
It’s like you know exactly what the people want to know and see!
Love the Saluki when they run free ❤️
We have saluki cross greyhound pup and hes very sneaky and cheeky haha definitely manipulative and food motivated. Just like yours 2-3 zoomies and 2 daily walks/ runs will keep him happy. Hes very stubborn and loves my son. He just cant be left alone he howl and whines. Hes very talkative as well. Especially if he wants food or everyone to shut up and go to sleep hahaha love him to bits!
I’m getting a beautiful silver saluki and I’m going to call her Cleo after Cleopatra as the breed originated in Egypt and Salukis generally give off a regal vibe to me
My highschool mascot is a Saluki!! In the 70s our school combined with another school and decided on the name because the sports conference we were part of was the North Egypt Conference (I think southern Illinois is known as North Egypt, don't ask me why). It also had to do with SIU being the Salukis.
I live in Arizona and i can't wait to have me one of these beautiful creatures, one day!
Update?
Salukis are so beautiful!
What I don't get though is why you would punish (spray bottle) your dog for communicating (growling) When they growl they ask for more space and to be leaved alone, so just separate the dogs and problem solved. Punishing them can leading to dogs that bite first ask later
soup sandwich you should look into positive reinforcement training as well as the dominance theory being disproven over a decade ago. Scolding your dog or making them “submit” has been proven to have adverse reactions, whether it’s now or later with other behavioral issues. I would never set my dogs up for failure with toys, food or anything that one is possessive over. My dogs eat separately, chew on high value treats separately, but can play with toys together.
No it does not you really need to look into proper application of punishment separating them doesnt correct the problem it just manages it, dogs that arent correctly punished at an appropriate level may not respond to it. I suggest looking solidk-9training. Positive training doesnt correct problem behaviors, the lack of no is always yes when it comes to dogs. If you do not correct a dog it will not understand that it cant do something a dog will not understand no if you say no without a correction.
@@gwendolynnpruitt1128 every dog is different, cant use broad techniques youll always get different results
itz DRod Plenty of research states otherwise. I will not punish my dogs for behavior that could have been avoided 👍🏻 thank you tho
Gwendolynn Pruitt what behaviors are unavoidable? Destroying your furniture? Many behaviors are just not unavoidable.
Gorgeous dogs!
Really have that royal vibe and standing out from other breed.
Poetry in motion.
greyhound please. amazing creatures and here in florida we voted to ban racing. the cheetah of dogs.
I was so happy to vote against dog racing!
So you like greyhounds... But not racing.. wtf
@@spoderman5481 Greyhounds are abused and killed in the racing industry and it is considered abusive. They live in poor conditions. Do research.
@@houseoftheshepherddogs7944 abuse and being killed = abusive, no shit. Letting a race hound chase a rabbit or rag or whatever they use isn't abuse tho, you can't force em to run, I'd they don't wanna run, they won't, I see nothing wrong with letting them race. Any breed can be abused, its not just sporting and working Dogs. Most toy breeds are inside a house all day and are overweight, that's abuse, letting a sighthound do what it's meant to do, run, is not
yes and the fact Florida voted to ban racing will have a massive impact, in a short time the 4000BC history of the greyhound could become extinct!
people will stop breeding!
the people of Florida should have voted against greyhounds being used by US forces as war dogs!
Totally correct about everything. Thank you. Having been married to a Saluki ( please laugh ) 35 years ago, he was a Prince. X x oo, my darling Pagan. Beautiful creature. Wish that I could post his picture.
Awesome video, very elegant dogs!
thank you for introducing me to these beautiful dogs :)
annunciating: what a concept
Are we not going to talk about the amazing names of these dogs, they named their salukis after Game of Thrones characters. John, Aria, Khaleesi, and Missandei.
Came here to say that. Lol funny people
Omg
Pretty overrated imo
i guess u just want to talk about game of thrones xD
its not just the dogs its the cats
For Years, I've always been so fascinated by this breed, the Salukis. They just look so graceful and look like a great dog to have around the house. Hopefully in the near future, I get to own one of these one day. Can you please create a TOP TEN best Dog breeds to have in an Apartment setting ? that would be great!
I have a saluki mix in an apartment and when we’re not walking he’s just sleeping. When I take him to my partners with their big yard and dog, he’ll play a little and pass out under his favourite tree by the pond again.
Beautiful dogs. Thank you for sharing
Beautiful dogs.
Thank you for the information.
I wish you rainbows.
I love the saluki. Their ears are adorable
I an avowed terrier person BUT I'd certainly have one of these royal darlings !!! They are breath taking! Love them❤️❤️😘❤️
These dogs are lucky they have such a loving family
So fun to see how others live with their saluki. We love our 11 saluki and live with them all in our house in Sweden.
Stunning dogs
This video was very informative. Thank you.
Great video!!! Love every video you make! This is one of my faves!
Thanks so much for this video. I have always loved Salukis, but have never owned one or even been around one very much other than at Dog Shows. I would own one or ten in a heartbeat. Thanks again for the video.
Yay im so happy you did a Saluki video! Love it!!
Could you turn the music up, I'm not sure if it's loud enough...?
Agreed
Gorgeous dogs.
Thank you so much for this video. My favorite dog breed. I'm a sighthound fanatic. 😉😁😍
The Game of Thrones names are awesome! You're on a roll Z I can't wait for this channel to really blow up.
Adored our Saluki, she was very nurturant and mothered two stray kittens and also a jack russel puppy. . Is her huge.y but I am now too old to consider taking on another.
drinking game: take a shot every time she interrupts him.
me: *gets drunk*
She’s the alpha
@@CoachatCole she's just a wife
This is one of my favorite if not my favorite dog breeds. I hope to own one one day but it's hard to find one in georgia
Holy shit, this poor guy.
I have a Lurcher, she is a Saluki cross whippet, But she's extremely Saluki dominant. Most don't even beleive me when I tell them she's a lurcher. She's the most Human dog in the world. If you smile at her, she squints her eyes and smiles back. She always steals food off the counter whenever possible and claims ownership of the couch whenever she can. She lives with a Bichon and Another Lurcher (Woolfhound cross Pointer)
I love this breed
I got what I thought was a great Pyrenees but as she grew it was obvious she wasn't purebred. Did a DNA test on her and she's got Saluki in her. Not much but it explains her structure, her bark and whine sound, she's 75% pyrenees but she has almost all the characteristics of a Saluki. It's nice to finally understand why she's the way she is.
have three. Beautiful dog, good with kids not small pets though, need space to run as they are active.
Saluki is my favourite dog breed
Make one about Afghan Hounds!😍😭🐶
i loved this so much!!!!
Got 1 owned a few but from Mesopotamia, now iraq , beautiful dogs
Saluki is one of ancient dog species that stated in the book and showed on Egyptian hieroglyphs
Wow, this inspired me to get a saluki and borzoi! Thanks!
Correction; They are "the" oldest breed in history descended from the wolf. They are "the" fastest top speed dog faster than the greyhound, as well as have the most endurance, far more endurance than greyhounds, there bones are full of hollows like a birds, their lungs work differently. There spine is designed differently frim thousands of years of breeding to rotate & flex. Behaviourally they sleep all day, can be nippy, so not the best for having very young children, these guys have been lucky with the cat, I deffinatley don't recommend any animal in the house small enough to for them to kill. The most agressive guard dogs you could get. These guys have been lucky by training them from from puppies, but in general they can be VERY Agressive & try to kill other dogs, if you get a rescue that hasn't been trained or treated well then you will need to muzzle them any time you leave the house with them. As stated in the video you cannot let them off the lead unless they are in an enclosure, they will run off into traffic & depending on their upbringing may try to attack & kill any animal that moves. I have had lots of different breeds of dog & 2 full bred salukis & two saluki crosses, even the full bred puppy saluki could be incredibly aggressive to the older saluki & took over. They are the most beautiful breed of all dogs, very clever & have the most human personalities of all dogs but be warned of the aggression in some of these dogs, you can not train them out of something they have been bred do to for 10 thousand years, which is to run around the dessert killing gazelles & anything else that moves.
ive always thought of them sort of breeds as beautiful and as i may be getting one, i believe he'll make my mental health so much better.
They would be the super models of the dog world lol.. just beautiful for no good reason...
Afghans still hold that title but yes they are beautiful and very elegant but so are Afghans. I have a greyhound who I adore as he has such a quirky persona
From the poem "The Rhodora - If eyes were made for seeing, beauty is it's own excuse for being.
Hi, I do have my second Saluki right now... 24/7 wiht here... again... I do have 3 child... yes Salukis like childreen... but it is possible to let childreen going out in freedome... I am also able to let Saluki going out in freedome without catching any deere or rabitte... it is working with strong force by my selfe... best dog in between cat I ever did... schöne Grüße Jürgen
Where are you based? I have a 7 month saluki boy. I live in Palm Desert CA. Always good to here about other owners in CA.
Thanks for this video! We're on our way to a meet and greet to adopt a saluki mix. Fingers crossed that he's a good fit!
Was he?
5 Salukis!!! So mani frands! Eye am Whippet and eye aproof of dis video! 🐎
Aye have a Saluki cross coming over from Dubai this week , cant wait
2:34 you're absolutely right 👍
My mother’s side of the family is into showing, like showing dogs and we own Salukis. Currently we own 5, we didn’t train them to not chase things or bark or chew things or anything else, but we did train them to sit, lay down, stay, etc. they are truly magnificent creatures, and a huge part to me is that they all have such unique personalities. They grow strong bonds and make social groups, it’s beautiful to own one. Truly like living with royalty. My siblings and I must have helped grow them to be used to kids, so I would say if they’ve been around kids their whole lives, they will be friendly towards them. My family used to own 6 Salukis and if we still had twilight we would’ve had 7. We own one smooth Saluki while the rest are all feathered, Salukis are also very good at turning fast. Our Salukis chase each other around the yard switching between who’s being chased. Sometimes, if it’s just two in the yard, Anthem and Cisco will chase each other flipping back and forth until they stumble away or have to go inside. Sense Salukis are sight hounds, they are very observant, but one of ours, JL, often stares at the tv watching it. It’s very true that Salukis are couch lovers, so to help them we made a rule that they can only be on the couch if they are on a blanket or someone’s lap. This rule is broken by Anthem and occasionally shimmer.
1:46 that's a big miss conception, in Islam no dog is clean even salukis, meaning if they drink from a bowl and you want to drink from it you have to clean it several times, and you can come with any type of dog to help with hunting not only salukis, maybe saluki is famous for that because it was the only breed back then in the arabo Muslim world that were great on hunting but that doesn't mean that specific breed, and no dog is allowed in homes nor" tents " except for guard dogs.
I love all hounds
Him: "They are like big cats. They will play for like half an hour here and there, but for the most part they sleep alot during the day"
Her: "I would eh ah say ishegsbsjjshshshshshshsgshshshshshsh twenty to thirty minutes. Hwyehshhxyxzzshsh. And the rest of the time they sleep!"
She interrupted him just to repeat what he said 😂😂😂
I was in Estonia this year competing in the Lure Coursing Championships with my Saluki and when I was in the city people would frequently stop me and ask for pictures because ''she looked like a princess'' so yeah, like living with royalty :)
REALLY enjoyed this video❣️
“You can live in a apartment or condo and have a Saluki” Thank you for clarifying I need this dog XD
I had 3 greyhounds and fostered many. At the dog park, when there were little dogs running around, I would simply put basket muzzles on the greys. That way I knew no one would get hurt if they chased.
I just noticed you talked about attacks from Saluki's. In my experience these attacks are pack driven and they like to tell young dogs how to behave!
Such cute dogs
Can you do all about living with a frenchie? You have videos of the frenchies before but not like this series, thanks man, keep up the good work
David Rosas you don't go a day without laughing at cute things they do, love to cuddle, attached to me, gassy lol. Mine in particular is very high energy. He never stops moving and can run with big dogs. Once you have a frenchie you're automatically obsessed with every kind of bulldog you see!
Keep up the great work 👌you should check out the Azawakh 💖 number 1 sighthound imho
The same as Arabian horses so regal nd graceful.
