A Saluki playing in a small back yard will not get enough exercise to enable its muscles to develop well, or to stay fit. If you cannot provide safe, free running for him on a regular basis (weekly or biweekly), then take long walks or jog with your dog at least twice a week.
How much exercise should a Saluki get?
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.
How many walks does a Saluki need?
Salukis have a great deal of energy and love to run! Your Saluki will need 2 lengthy walks every day. Historically, Salukis were bred to chase prey. Although they're domestic pets today, they still retain their hunter's instincts and can get distracted by small animals when they're out walking.
How do you walk a Saluki?
Ok, it's the obvious one, but the most basic way to exercise your Saluki is to slip on their harness and take them for a good old dog walk. There's no doubt that your Saluki will jump with excitement as soon as they spot their lead, which is an obvious sign that this tried and tested method works.
Can you run with a Saluki?
Running Miles: Salukis are sprinters rather than long-distance runners, but they can run with you for two to three miles if they are healthy and fully grown.
