All About The Saluki Puppies

By Lila Berger


Saluki puppies mostly have soft coat and longer bodies. They are considered to be the oldest breeds way back ancient times. They are taken as desert dogs who can live with nomadic tribes. They can help the people do the hunting if they are well trained under hot and dry weather conditions.

These dogs are regarded as important in Egypt. They are treated as royal creatures in the country of Egypt and their remains were mostly kept in the tomb. Some Arab countries believe them to be among those animals that are clean and therefore can enter their houses.

This breed was introduced first in European countries and reached the England shores. They are mostly of stunning appearance. They described as delicate, striking and graceful. Their appearance signifies their independence and strong temperament to perform the job they are tasked to do. They have narrow and long head with beautiful dark eyes.

It has a deep ribcage to accommodate the ribs and the lungs with slender and long legs. All the parts are well proportioned which greatly displays their poise and grace. They also have an uncommon ability to endure long distances. Traditionally, they are aloof to those that are not familiar with their breed.

These animals can be very friendly, sensitive and well, intelligent. The owner must be very patient during training as they do get tired and bored easily. You must not scold them with loud voices and screams as it might frighten them. You should train the pets not to be ashamed of visitors and to deal well with other animals.

The Salukis are healthy and strong animals that can be alive until fourteen years of age. There are a number of hereditary diseases that can greatly affect their health. The most common of all is the cancer like liver cancer. They need daily exercise as they are really active and the best of all, a caring family.

This kind of dog barks only when they see something strange in the place or they will just because they love to bark. Sometimes, it is their habit. They must undergo good types of exercise because as dogs, they are athletic and can climb high fence. Exercise them or they will ruin your backyard with deep holes.

These pets are cleaner than the others with less or without odor. They are not hard to clean since they have shorter coat. They are not good as outside pets, they are better indoors. They do not usually drool, they only do when thinking of food. They can easily be trained inside the home but ensure they will take care of your furniture.

Saluki puppies can be choosy when it comes to their food but they are good eaters. They can easily consume their food. They will mostly eat and drink less compared to other breeds. They have less fat as well compared to other kinds. When they spayed, they can be fatter and their coat will be more fuzzy. With their lack of fat comes the disadvantage, they are mostly prone to anesthetic agents. This can be true to some if not all.
