It must be kept in mind that a Saluki is bred for hunting at a gallop and movement at a trotting gait will not indicate how it runs. The most important points to consider in all forms of movement are balance and moderation. Only when these are present will the desired effortlessness-in-movement appear.

Interest in the Saluki was slower to take hold in the United States. The Saluki Club of America was founded in 1927, the same year the breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club. The first Saluki registered by the AKC was Jinniyat of Grevel in 1929.

Description. The Saluki is a slim, Greyhound-like dog. The head is long and narrow, moderately wide between the ears, tapering gradually toward the nose with a slight stop. The nose is black or liver in color. The teeth meet in a level bite. The large, oval eyes are dark to hazel in color.

The double-suspension gallop is unique to the Saluki and other sighthounds and is the only time when reach and drive will be exhibited. Movement at a trot can give the appearance of floating over the terrain (another appearance of effortless movement).

Salukis run at top speeds of 40 mph (55km/h) or more with their feet barely touching the ground. These top speeds are reached in short spurts, but they also have exceptional endurance. An excellent way to exercise your Salukis is to let it trot alongside your bike.

Depictions of dogs resembling Salukis — with a Greyhoundlike body and feathering on the ears, tail, and legs — appear on Egyptian tombs dating to 2100 B.C.E., some 4,000 years ago. Even older are carvings from the Sumerian empire (7,000-6,000 B.C.E.) that show dogs with a striking resemblance to the Saluki.

To keep a Saluki safe and well exercised, provide him with 300 to 400 lateral feet of fenced area where he can run full out. If your yard isn't that large, you should have easy access to a fenced park, an enclosed sports field at a school, or a beach with no nearby road.

As with any breed the temperament of the puppy in question can determine how it will interact with children. Salukis can be territorial while claiming their children and protecting them from a Saluki-perceived harm. They can be protective of other pets in the household as well.

This is true of most, if not all, the sight hounds. They also can have reactions and intolerances to some worming and flea products. In particular, the wormer known as TASK is not recommended for use on Greyhounds. As a general rule if the label states not recommended for use on Greyhounds don't use it on a Saluki.

They need a home with a large, securely fenced yard where they can run flat out. The ideal running area for a Saluki is 300 to 400 feet in length or width. Fences should be at least five to six feet high or a Saluki will easily jump them. Underground electronic fencing will not contain a Saluki, nor will it protect him from other animals that might enter your yard.
