Artist's Description
One of the world’s oldest breeds, the Saluki’s heritage dates back thousands of years. The precise origins of this long-limbed sighthound are lost in antiquity, but archaeological evidence shows the existence of Saluki-like hounds in ancient Mesopotamia and elsewhere across the Middle East.

It was known in Britain in the 19th century or earlier but did not generate particular interest from dog fanciers until after World War I. (CKC)
