Any Q

Saluki Racing at the Falconry Festival Traditionally, they were used for hunting gazelles, hares, foxes and jackals, and today that tradition is mimicked in dog racing. They have been recorded to run as fast as 68 km/h, making them one of the world's fastest dogs on longer distances.


Is the Saluki the fastest dog?

While the Greyhound is credited as being the fastest dog breed up to distances of around 800 metres (2,600 ft), the Saluki is thought to be faster over longer distances. In 1996, The Guinness Book of Records listed a Saluki as being the fastest dog, capable of reaching a speed of 68.8 km/h (42.8 mph).

What is faster a Greyhound or a Saluki?

A feather-footed cousin of the Greyhound, the Saluki has been clocked at nearly 43 mph, a speed recorded in the 1996 edition of the Guinness Book of Records. It may be that over distances of more than half a mile, the Saluki is faster than the Greyhound.

Are Salukis extinct?

As with so many breeds, the Saluki had suffered during World War II, and many were lost to bombings, starvation, and euthanasia, but committed owners and breeders saved the breed from extinction and we're able to admire this breed today.

What is a Saluki mixed with?

The Saluki Greyhound is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Greyhound and the Saluki. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed.
