Salukis - Breed History
The Saluki is considered one of the oldest pure dog breeds in the world. The Saluki is related to the Greyhound, the Whippet, and the Afghan. The breed was named after the Arabian city in the Middle East. The Saluki city now does not exist, and is believed to have vanished in the sands. The pictures of Salukis in ancient Egyptian tombs date from 2100 BC.
