1. Saluki Approxamately
$2,500

Saluki (also known as the Royal Dog of Egypt) have
been companions to men since the time of the
pharaohs. This was also the breed of choice for
merchants traveling China’s Silk Road and for
ancient hunters going after hares and gazelles. For all
intents and purposes, they are one of the oldest
domesticated breeds of dogs that still exist today in
their pure form.

!

Salukis are long, tall, slim dogs that somewhat
resemble a long-haired greyhound. Males can reach
up to 28 inches at the withers and weight up to 60
pounds. Because they are aloof and independent,
Salukis might not be a good choice for first-time
owners. Plus, they need lots of exercise, so be
prepared to head out and move if you get one.
