You can expect to form a very special bond with your Saluki, which is different to most other breeds of dog. Your Saluki isn’t going to go into a frenzy every time you come home or walk through a door, he may not even seem that interested, but that’s just down to his dignified character. Though some people may find the Saluki to be a shy dog, many believe he is just reserved and independent. Your Saluki will love you dearly and care about you very much; he just doesn’t feel the need to get over excited whenever he sees you. It’s important to train and socialise your Saluki from an early age to prevent him from becoming too aloof with other people. The one thing which will never fail to make your Saluki happy is running. Salukis were bred to run and they need a lot of room to zoom about in. A long, daily power walk will keep your Saluki content, but if you like to jog then he’ll be even happier! Don’t expect to be able to keep up with your Saluki if he gets away from you though. Saluki’s are incredibly fast, so they should be kept on a leash.
