The Royal dog of Egypt, the
Saluki may be as old as the oldest known civilization. His body was often found mummified like the bodies of the Pharaohs themselves and his picture appears in ancient Egyptian tombs dating from 2100 BC. This breed is thought of by the Muslims as a sacred gift from Allah, so these dogs were never sold but only offered as gifts of friendship or homage. The
Saluki is a brilliant desert sight hunter capable of incredible speed and agility over rough terrain.
