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 exercise a Saluki?
Chasing their favourite ball or toy will keep your Saluki occupied for hours and, with any luck, they'll kick it around themselves for a while and give you a break. Or, take the toy with you on a walk and give your Saluki an even longer run! However, it's important that you play in a safe and secure area.
Can Salukis be left alone?
