css=&#8221;&#8221; css_params=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Saluki: the Persian greyhound is the dog sent by Allah<\/h2>\n<p>The Saluki, also known as the Persian Greyhound, holds a special place in dog history.<\/p>\n<p>A symbol of Arab culture and a marvel of genetics, it passes on a thousand-year history of cooperation between man and animal.<\/p>\n<p>It is a story that has spanned Mesopotamia, known as &#8220;the Fertile Crescent,&#8221; and has followed man&#8217;s evolution step, step to the present day.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Le-origini-del-Saluki\">The origins of the Saluki<\/h4>\n<p>The origins of the Saluki can be traced through a combination of genetic, archaeological and historical evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Recent genetic studies suggest that the Saluki has existed for at least 6,000 to 8,000 years, but some experts speculate an even earlier origin, dating back about 9,000 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Sumerians used it for hunting and left many engravings as evidence from the fact that these dogs were an integral part of their civilization.<\/p>\n<p><em>Inanna<\/em>, the Sumerian goddess of love, was always accompanied by 7 of these greyhounds she kept on a leash.<\/p>\n<p>From the fertile &#8220;<strong>Crescent<\/strong>&#8221; of Mesopotamia, traders transported Salukis throughout the Middle East, where they became the valued allies of nomadic tribes.<\/p>\n<p>This is evidenced by the remains of Saluki-like dogs found at archaeological sites in Arabia, Mesopotamia and Egypt where, moreover, frescoes and sculptures illustrate dogs with unmistakable graceful figures that strongly resemble him.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Cosa-vuol-dire-Saluki\">What Saluki means<\/h4>\n<p>For many centuries Bedouin nomads used them for hunting, and although dogs were declared unclean by the Islamic religion, a special exemption was made for the Saluki.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;Saluki&#8221; comes from Arabic and means<strong>&#8220;dog<\/strong>,&#8221; but not an ordinary dog, but rather the quintessential dog.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Saluki was believed to be a gift from Allah to the tribes so much so that it was referred to as &#8220;<strong><em>El Hor<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; meaning the Noble One.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Il-riconoscimento-della-razza\">The recognition of race<\/h4>\n<p>In 1923, the breed was registered with the British Kennel Club, but its standard was not defined internationally until 1978.<\/p>\n<p>The Saluki ranges in height from 58 to 71 cm, weighing from 20 to 30 kg.<\/p>\n<p>Its coat can be smooth or rough and can come in a variety of colors, including white, cream, gray and fawn.<\/p>\n<p>The ears are long and pendulous, while the tail, is fringed and woolly.<\/p>\n<p>With long, slender legs, sleek and streamlined, the Saluki seems to have been &#8220;designed&#8221; for speed: it runs in the wind.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Il-Saluki-e-tra-i-cani-piu-veloci-al-mondo\">The Saluki is among the fastest dogs in the world<\/h4>\n<p>Greyhounds such as the <em>Whippet<\/em> and <em>Greyhound<\/em> are known for their speed but the Saluki can reach as high as 70 km\/h and can maintain this for long distances.<\/p>\n<p>What makes the Saluki unique compared to other dog breeds and greyhounds in particular is precisely its incredible resilience, even in harsh environmental settings such as the desert.<\/p>\n<p>That is why it has always been considered a formidable ally of man as well as an excellent hunter.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Qual-e-il-carattere-del-levriero-Saluki\">What is the character of the Saluki greyhound<\/h4>\n<p>Extremely gentle and sensitive, Saluki dogs tend to develop a strong emotional bond with their caregivers.<\/p>\n<p>So, they tend to be very affectionate with their family, but can be aloof with strangers.<\/p>\n<p>They love quiet and are not mall dogs or large crowds.<\/p>\n<p>Salukis are very active dogs that need large spaces where they can run freely but safely.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Un-Saluki-puo-vivere-in-un-appartamento\">A Saluki can live in an apartment<\/h4>\n<p>Salukis can also adapt to apartment living and appreciate couches and cushions on which to lie and rest, as long as their exercise needs are fully met.<\/p>\n<p>This means long walks every day and frequent and regular exercise.<br \/>\nHe is a dog that needs mental and physical stimulation: lack of exercise can cause boredom, malaise and frustration.<\/p>\n<p>It is the ideal companion for young, active people who enjoy hiking in nature.<\/p>\n<p>Always keep in mind that his innate hunter&#8217;s nature causes him to chase and grab what moves quickly and suddenly.<\/p>\n<p>So, great care must be taken in the presence of other small animals, dogs, cats and children.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Le-patologie-ricorrenti-del-Saluki\">The recurrent pathologies of Saluki<\/h4>\n<p>Some of the common health problems include <em><strong>hip dysplasia<\/strong><\/em>, a genetic condition that affects the hip joint, causing pain and limitation of movement.<\/p>\n<p>Some Saluki lines may be more vulnerable to <strong><em>congenital heart disease but also to <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/en\/dogs-eyes-discharge-swelling-or-redness-are-indications-of-widespread-eye-diseases-here-is-how-to-recognize-and-treat-them-in-time-to-avoid-unpleasant-consequences-or-even-blindness\/\">eye diseases<\/a>,<\/em><\/strong> such as cataracts.<\/p>\n<p>Ears require regular cleaning of the inside so as to prevent the development of mycosis and infection.<\/p>\n<p>Prevention is key: regular vet checkups and a balanced diet can help maintain Saluki&#8217;s health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To have your Saluki checked or for periodic check-ups, contact the veterinary doctors on our
