The Saluki experience
You know you're a Saluki owner when...
●The feathered ears that flow like silk curtains when they run, and get dipped in every water bowl, food dish, and mud puddle like tiny elegant mops that cost you a fortune in grooming.
●That thousand-yard stare out the window where they're clearly watching something you cannot see and judging it with the full weight of 7,000 years of breeding.
●The selective hearing that isn't a bug, it's a feature, they heard you perfectly, they evaluated your request, and they have declined.
●Watching them run at full speed and realizing you're witnessing something ancient and breathtaking, 40 mph of pure grace that makes every other dog look like they're running through pudding.
●The way they choose ONE spot on the couch, always the best spot, and defend it not with aggression but with a look that says 'surely you don't expect me to move.
