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.
Is a Saluki cross Greyhound a lurcher?
No two Lurchers are the same Lurchers are usually a cross between a sighthound breed – such as Greyhound, Saluki or Whippet – and a Collie or Terrier. Because they're a mixed breed, no two Lurchers are the same – in looks or temperament.
Are Saluki greyhounds good pets?
Salukis can make excellent companions for older children, but they aren't recommended for homes with young children. They're tolerant, but young Salukis can be too active for children younger than 8 years of age, and their thin skin and knobby bones make them vulnerable to injury if children aren't careful.
How long do Saluki Lurchers live?
Whilst there are discrepancies across gender, the average Lurcher will weigh between 27-32 kg, with a life expectancy of approximately 12-15 years.
Do Salukis like to cuddle?
