The most honest dog breed review you'll ever find about Saluki temperament, training, personality, behavior, pros and cons.
Are Salukis good for first time owners?
The calm and gentle Saluki can become timid and shy without early socialization and regular reinforcement through new experiences and introductions to many different people throughout his life. Generally quiet but alert, he's a good watchdog, but not a guard dog.
Do Salukis make good pets?
Salukis are quiet at home, extremely gentle with children, and good with other dogs. They make adequate watchdogs, but miserable protection dogs. Salukis must get a chance to run, and run hard, every day. Given this chance, they are moderately obedient, as long as they happen to want the same thing you want.
Is a Saluki the right dog for me?
A Saluki may not be right for you. You can avoid some negative traits by choosing an ADULT dog from an animal shelter or rescue group. With an adult dog, you can easily see what you're getting, and plenty of adult Salukis have already proven themselves not to have negative characteristics.
How long should you walk a Saluki?
Exercise requirements: Salukis need over 2 hours of exercise daily. Salukis do have a strong chase instinct, so be aware of this if they are around other pets at home and when out and about.
