L uxury Puppies ! 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.
