Saluki Question?

[marshman 7,758]

My mate has bought a pup out of this dog here pure saluki that come from the Middle East.  I was in two minds to get a pup myself cracking pups .

Now my question is do they have different types of saluki over there or have Salukis changed or have they put something else in it ? 

Its probably my ignorance but it don’t look like a traditional saluki type I’m used to seeing .

Some of the saluki lurchers from over here have been bought and taken over, so there could be anything about, but I hear they vary like you say depending on terrain etc

they vary with different jobs and places but that dog still "looks" crossbred. Aren't some folk crossing them for racing

Looking at those pics, I would agree with Rio. Looks like a sal X grey to me mate.

Should be pretty similar pups to the litter Max bred, the dog in the pic certainly has a strong greyhoundy stamp
