Saluki


Saluki
The Saluki may be one of the oldest breeds of domesticated dogs.  They appear on ancient ceramics from 3500 BCE.  This breed is obviously a sight hound.  Although not as fast as the greyhound, they are known for their great endurance and strength.  They are known to be “singers” and very intelligent animals. Did you know that Saluki’s have extra hair between the toes for protection and are very heat and cold resistant?  If you are interested in a saluki, Storey Studios is a supporter of “Don’t Shop, Adopt”.  Please visit these and other fine groups for Saluki adoptions. Saluki Tree of Life Alliance
