www.amazon.com... As old as the pyramids and as timeless as the sands, the saluki is a sighthound that is known for its amazing speed and mesmerizing grace.
This is a dog lovers introduction to the Saluki, a majestic dog breed. We will explore the history, working purpose, sporting activities, health, temperament, life expectancy and pet suitability of this wonderful dog breed.
The saluki is a sighthound that originates in the fertile crescent, an area that extends from the Nile River on Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula in the south to the southern fringe of Turkey in the North.
The saluki is one of several breeds that can trace its roots back to the ancient Egyptians. The dogs have been prized since ancient times for its ability in the hunt, running down gazelle, hare and other swift prey over arid desert sands, providing sport for kings and food for nomads. Breeding with non-salukis was strictly forbidden, a practice that allowed the Saluki to remain virtually unchanged for thousands of years, although it has always exhibited a wide variety of styles. The variety arose from the wide distribution of the breed throughout the Middle East, tribes bred their salukis in direction that were best adapted to hunt specific game over specific terrain.

Saluki are FANTASTIC with young children. Very emotionally intelligent, thoughtful & gentle creatures.
I think the same. If you can bring up a saluki that does not destroy your home regularly, you can bring up a child. As in the saluki needs the same as a child: room to be itself but the discipline and the investment to express themselves. If you take the saluki out, you take the child out to engage in things they enjoy. If you understand and know how to discipline the saluki's temperament, you understand and know how to discipline that child's temperament. Basically, they are at the same intellectual level.
These dogs have a mysterious heir about them, almost like something out of a storybook, They've always fascinated me. The Saluki is to the Dog world as the Arabian is to the horse world. They both posses a unique physique, amazing speed, and both hail from the desert.
As a 28 year old that has lived my entire life with Salukis this an extremely accurate video, tremendous job
Pure grace and beauty! Hahaa, love them! I helped a friend find a dog for a pet some years ago. She fell in love with a black and tan Saluki that had been thrown away. Her husband said he would leave her if she brought a dog home. He was scared stiff of dogs. She took this beautiful Saluki home, anyway. For 1 1/2 weeks the husband sulked big time. But then one morning this lovely Saluki female went upstairs and put her head onto his pillow. I hadn't seen them for a months after the dog went home. And i worried. Next thing i know, the wife is telling me after this beautiful girl layed her head on the pillow, her husband fell in love with her and adores this beautiful, and very funny, Saluki girl, saying he's never been so happy.
Our first family pet dog was a whippet/saluki mix. So beautiful, but boy was she a hunter! She ran and moved like the wind. Never listened when off leash, so we had to go into large, safe fields to let her off. She needed a lot of exercise. Our next little treasure was a tiny whippet. He was my best friend ever! So polite and gentle. Didn't need much exercise, and was super easy. He loved going out in the car. We miss him every, single day. Now we have long dogs: mainly whippet, crossed with greyhound and saluki. They are gorgeous, with the female having some saluki looks. They have bionic sight, hearing and nose with everything a mile off, (can't sneak a quiet snack in another part of the house without them springing to life, lol), and hunt like the wind (but only in gesture), and in short bursts. They need far, far less exercise, and are extremely cute and loving, as well as majestic. There is a female saluki that goes for a gentle walk with her young human brother every day along a country, but faily busy road, and she walks by his side, beautifully. Beautiful dogs if you know how to treat sighthounds, and the differences between them.
I've always loved how Salukis look, but I just can't handle sight hounds. I need my dogs to be a little more dependable off leash.
Been "in" sighthounds for near 50 years, associated with or owned Salukis for 40. If you have a single one as a pet they can easily be trained to be off lead. Not near busy roads, etc. and they do tend to be a little independent while off lead but ours never gets "out of sight". She races around having great fun but is constantly looking back to keep us in her line of sight. We take her along bush walking tracks and she loves it. More to the point is that YOU have to have the temperament to be compatible with this unique breed. If you are a dominating type that trains a dog with a "gruff" command voice like you might a breed like a Staffie, then don't think about a Saluki. They are your equal and they take "suggestions", NOT commands.
Which is pretty intelligent of you. My friend has them, I take them on walks once in a while because she's been sick for three years. A saluki and two whippets - they've taken me, a regular adult, down off my feet twice. I mean they are well trained and I can control them without ease normally (as you can a pack of hounds), except when there is a squirrel, a city rabbit or a poodle on a long leash/free. The poodles have been the lethal ones (as I can anticipate that the prey is going to flee and I can prepare myself for the six-pod jump). Suddenly poodles flee: Flat on my stomach or back - with one swoop of three slender behind legs bouncing off together at the same time. When they hunt, they hunt. Nothing to do about it.
@@stephenwharton7651 Suggestions. Exactly.
@@stephenwharton7651 Yes they are smart dogs. Mine gazes at me reading my every thought. She sleeps on my bed and she is long with an elegant neck which is why she has a harness. She loves the car rides and walks in the parks.
@@stephenwharton7651 love this reply ❤️. I have two Salukis (siblings brother and sister) they have been off lead with me since day one and they never leave my side, as you said they have so much fun but always look back to check in. I totally agree, these beautiful creatures are definitely my equal if not more and they are my everything.
There's something about the Desert that creates such streamline animals with floaty movements. Perhaps it's the very lack of water that inspires animals to have such liquidity in motion.The saluki is to the dog world as the Arabian is to the horse world.
That beautiful dog is the beloved mascot of my college....Southern Illinois University. Yay Salukis!!!!!!
The Dawgs beat the Cats today!!!
They’re basically a really fast cats🤣
That’s exactly right! My Salukis were in that video (playing in the dog park, being lazy on the sofas and bed), and my husband refers to them as House Cheetahs. 😂🤣😂
@@darshannwienick465 Exactly. Salukis are no dog. They do not do trick for treats. They just look at you with the same contempt as a cat: 'Do you think I'm that stupid?'.
Amen. I have never known a dog like a saluki. Had a cat and golden retriever. The saluki is the only one that brings out awe in me. Mainly because he won't allow it any other way.
One of my favorite Sighthounds. Thank you for this video. I hope you get to meet some Azawakhs soon. 😌👌🏾
Such a gorgeous and elegant dog 🐾♥️
I’ve had four Salukis, I can hardly wait to have a couple again.
Saluki is my favourite dog breed
for me too, I have over 37 years Salukis , four Girls to keep me Happy and i them! Beautiful video thank you!
Such an incredible dog and one of my absolute favourites! Thanks for covering the mesmerising Saluki in your Dog Lover's Intro Zeke, great work as always :)
Would love a Saluki. Their drive to work is only just overshadowed by their beauty. A true marvel of a breed, a privilege for anyone to have.
Thanks for doing these videos on sighthounds - I've always been very intrigued about breeds like Borzoi, Irish Wolfhounds, and Saluki, but found there to be few resources online for what daily life with these breeds look like. Your Living With series is my favorite on this channel. (Would love a video on living with Irish Wolfhounds or Borzoi ;)) Your video on Swiss Shepherds solidified my decision to get a Swiss Shepherd as my first dog after college.
As with all sighthounds quiet and gentle in the house and contrary to this video theyd be great with kids. But ferocious on the course. Most sighthounds are fine with a hour a day excercise provided they get to sprint full speed. I think these have a little more stamina than greyhounds or whippets tend too. But there a seoius flight risk with any small animals and potentially anything that acts like prey.
Suggestions: Pharaoh hound, Ibezian hound, and Borzoi. And thanks for this I’d on the Saluki.
Podenco
Would love an ibezian hound video. He has one on pharaoh hounds already tho if your interested
I would never ever own a dog to catch my dinner but if you do happen to be a prepper I doubt a Saluki would let you go hungry but be warned you will be treated like royalty every day and when they bow to you, your expected to bow back. I so miss my old hound, he was the most gracious and magnificent sight to behold and he always got compliments when he was seen off lead. Yeah my rescue Saluki rescued me and he will always hold a place of gratitude and love in my ❤
This breed would be perfect for someone that does a lot of mountain biking
Or lives in the desert like us Arabs
I might have to disagree there, due to the Saluki's strong prey drive and disregard for all other moving threats. If you take your Saluki mountain biking while it's on leash, and it sees something it wants to hunt, it WILL...and you will crash. If the Saluki is off least while you are mountain biking, you may lose it...or it may suddenly change course and you will hit it or another biker may hit it. Human and dog both get hurt.
Salukis have a long fascinating history
I love these dogs!
Thank you so much for doing this one. Please do one for Afghan Hounds. Thanks
love it! thank you for the great content
Sooooooo beautiful!!!
You should look into Sloughis
another sighthound similar to the saluki
a great guard dog and very athletic breed
though i understand it'd be very hard to find in the US
There is one litter in US right now 😉
Great video!
I love this video! I have a 3 year old Saluki!
Wow! They are gorgeous!
Great video buddy. "Sorta" got it all correct. (opinion of a 35+ year Saluki owner).
Hi! Im getting a saluki after the quarantine. Could you recommend me some exercises for a puppy?
Zeke you are the Top Dog! AnothA One! Your cuts are Great Z
would love a video on the Borzoi
great dog!
best dog shows by far ,well researched
Love Salukis!! If you could do this for Azawakh, it’d be amazing!
the runway models of the dog world
Thanks for the video. Could you do one on the Azawakh ?
Amazing video ! Could you do one on Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers?
GREAT VIDEO!!!! can you please look into doing a video of true 100% Johnson American bulldogs? I know ALOT of people would love that.... I see you covered the Scott's type more and would love to see another Johnson type vid... I definitely feel they are a top 10 big dog💪💯
We are getting an ibizan hound, it would be great if you could do a video on Ibizan hounds
Can u pls do a Video about the CÃO de Fila São Miguel dog breed?
Hey, can you please do a video on Moroccan breeds? Moroccan sloughi or Aidi (Atlas Shepard)
Please, Ali 21, can you recommend the best Moroccan dog for a Flock Guardian Dog? My husband is from Tahla and we both want a Moroccan dog, but he prefers hunting dogs while I want a Moroccan shepherd/ guardian! Thanks and Ramadan Kareem!
@@missflite74 Consider the Aidi (the Atlas shepherd). It's main function is a flock guardian dog but the breed also has amazing scent and is fierce. People used it for hundreds if not thousands of years as a guard dog, for hunting and for herding... I would just advise you to do your research well since the breed is very rare.
Yep the AIDI is a great flock guardian
They're at the tibetan mastiff level of guard abilities while being somewhat more responsive to their handler
The breed being developped naturally has an excellent health for it's size
Training them can be challenging but overall you'd only want one if you live somewhere rural
Don't get one if what you want a herding dog
A pack of two or three will keep any wild predator at bay but they won't be good at herding your livestock
Enjoy all your content zeke. Do a profile on the standard schnauzer.
I would say to watch half of the miniature one and half of the giant one, but i realized that there's also no miniature schnauzer profile...
I don't date above of my level. The same goes for choosing dogs. I don't want a dog that knows it's better than me.
Love it!
Hi.. You guys make very good documentary. I really enjoy learning from your work. I have request if it is possible to make one on sarail hound. Unfortunately this particular breed is near extinction and they don't even have a Wikipedia page. Thank you for your dedication to this channel.
Hey, I would like you to do a dogumentary about "Aidi", The Atlas Mountains dog/Sheepdog. They are so understudied!
Pls do English Pointer dying to see them on this channel
please make one for borzois!
Can anyone recommend a breeder can't find one at all :(
I would like you to do a video of the Azawakh dog breed.
Being prone to heart cancer, the last thing you want to do is get them fixed, except in extenuating circumstances. Ovary sparing spay and vasectomy would the best desexing options. The hormones remain, but they can't reproduce, in the event that an accident occurs.
Make videos on roscoe's channel too dude
Please do a video on Ibizan hounds. We are getting one to be a younger sister to our Hungarian Vizsla at the end of the year. Really keen on seeing a video on Ibizan hounds
I think you made your point.
Heart cancer?? Been in the breed since 1983. Some cancers yes, as in most everything these days, but I've never lost one to heart cancer.
Saluki is cross from original breed rajapalayam. Search and know about rajapalayam
What a beautiful dog! I’d love one, but I will only rescue.
SIU!
do Mini americans and Duck tollers 🤩
Are there any videos on the Beauceron breed?
He definitely has some!
love your video dude can you do chihuahua next?
Indian breeders like Chippiparai and Modhul Hound are closely related with saluki
Caractéristiques du Saluki
Not a breed I'd ever own. I am a molosser guy, but interesting.✌
Hey Zeke, would be great if you did a series on unlikely guard dogs. My family needs a good emotional support guard dog who is very friendly and capable. Currently our female Pitbull has that. She is super sweet but a great deterrent for a unmarried mommy living in the hood. 😂👍👌
After her...I’ve been eying to Doberman. My lil men will be older...been also thinking of standard poodle, a afghan hound, etc BUT I don’t want to get one that can’t guard. I’m sure you have these connections....this is perhaps a matchmaking bloodline thing...I’m sure you know of some friendly but capable poodles and afghans etc.
So it would be so cool if you spent your time with these breeders who are breeding these dogs for untraditional roles.
Frankly pitbulls are so perfect for my family needs but I’d enjoy such a series.
Love your videos please do a video on Ibizan hounds
The guy talks in a Monotone.
University of So. Illinois !
It would be awesome if you could do a video on Ibizan hounds
Please do a video on Ibizan hounds
Salukis can be much smaller like my Saluki.
I know a guy that uses one in his pack to hunt hogs
Ibizan hound video please
Are they anorexic or am I just used to American dogs?
Sighthounds are built very leanly! Not anorexic or starving.
My saluki eats more than my childhood labrador, and more than my other dog, a mix cnaan medium sized rescue dog. And he looks amazing. He is very musculin due to high level of exercise.
Is that a greek breed?
Is it an old breed?
Middle eastern breed. Very ancient breed of dog. Used by Bedouins for hunting & companionship.
@@TexCynRVLife thank you
My father used to live with them, he said if they hunt without my grandfather permission my grandfather will beat the dog, and the dog will never hunt again without permission.
I’ve been a fan and a subscriber since you were around 100k subs. But I had to give a thumbs down on this one just because of that patronizing music 😢
Ibizan hound video please
