The Saluki is an ancient breed of sighthound that originated in the Middle East. They are known for their distinctive appearance, with a long, slender body, a narrow head, and large, expressive eyes. Salukis come in two coat varieties: short-haired and long-haired. The short-haired Saluki has a smooth, close-lying coat that is easy to care for. They are typically a light fawn color with black markings on the face, ears, and tail.
Short-haired Salukis are known for their athleticism and endurance. They are also intelligent and affectionate dogs that make great companions. They are a relatively rare breed, but they are becoming increasingly popular in the United States and other parts of the world.
