The regal looking Saluki is one of the oldest breeds of domesticated dog, believed to have originated in Egypt and used extensively by nomads through the Middle East travelling the Silk Road through Iran, Persia, Egypt as as far away China.
Also known as Sloughi, Arabian Sighthounds, Persian Greyhounds and, most prestigiously, the Royal Dog of Egypt.
Although a sight hound bred for speed and used traditionally for hunting, they are intelligent, gentle and affectionate with their owners, although remain aloof and reserved with strangers.
