The Saluki, often called the "Royal Dog of Egypt," is an elegant and graceful sighthound known for its slender build and silky coat. One of the oldest dog breeds, it was originally used for hunting game in the desert, prized for its speed and endurance. The Saluki is gentle, independent, and affectionate with its family, though it may be reserved around strangers. This breed thrives on regular exercise and enjoys activities like running or lure coursing. With its quiet demeanor and regal appearance, the Saluki makes a loyal and refined companion for active households.
