ENTIRELY PETS
Historically, Salukis were used by nomadic tribes for hunting. Typical quarry included gazelles, hares,
foxes and jackals. In one Bedouin method of hunting hares, the hunter rides close to the quarry on a
camel while holding the Saluki, which he throws towards the prey while at speed, giving the dog a running
start. Another method, primarily used in hunting gazelles, involved the use of a hawk to gouge out the
eyes of the prey, so that a Saluki can then bring down the blinded animal.
A true modern Saluki retains the qualities of hunting hounds and may seem reserved and aloof. An
independent breed, but gentle and affectionate, they can be difficult to train and any such training should
be gentle and patient. They can get bored easily, and should not be left at home unattended for long
periods. Sensitive and intelligent, the Saluki should never be trained using force or hard-handed
methods, and typically does not enjoy rough games or typical dog games such as chasing sticks. Early
socialisation is required to prevent shyness in later life. Given their hunting instincts, they are prone to
chasing moving objects.
While the Greyhound is credited as being the fastest dog breed up to distances of around 800 metres
(2,600 ft), both the Saluki and Whippet breeds are thought to be faster over longer distances. The 1996
edition of the Guinness Book of Records lists a Saluki as being the fastest dog, reaching a speed of 68.8
kilometres (42.8 mi) per hour. Due to its heavily padded feet being able to absorb the impact on its body,
it has remarkable stamina when running.
