A Saluki is just one of the many types of ancient sighhound spread around the world. Just as a border collie is one of the many herding types from around the world,  many have genetic links and most have a recognisable look.

there just a a saluki sandy mongolian line if you like bred to type that suited there quarry and climate

Suffice it to say that the Saluki and the Afghan contributed to the gene pools of a number of Southwest Asian breeds such as the various Tazi sighthounds and even the Mudhol Hounds found in northern India.

 

The Greyhound is a sighthound that has always been presumed to be a primitive breed originating in the Middle East is. However, once scientists could properly analyze its genome, the centuries-hidden truth emerged. The Greyhound has an ancient heritage alright, just not quite as ancient as we had assumed. Along with several other sighthounds, the Greyhound has its genetic roots in Celtic herding dogs.

The Celts introduced the Greyhound into Western Europe as they migrated out of their homeland on the steppes of Eastern Europe and Eurasia. Greyhounds and Greyhound-type dogs are common in central Europe, Spain, and the British Isles—everywhere the Celts settled. Actually, as early as 1853, John Henry Walsh, writing under the pseudonym “Stonehenge,” made a clear case for a Celtic origin for the breed in his book, “The Greyhound.” Their Celtic origin would place the Greyhound within the European wolf clade.

The Society regards the word Saluki and the  word Tazi as linguistic identifiers for the same hunting hound of the Middle East. The differences seen in coat, color, and degree of feathering are a combination of strain selection for a particular geographic area and coat genetics.  The Saluki/Tazi has historically had two coat expressions with the smooth coat being genetically dominant. Both coat expressions occur in all populations.

The greyhound and a couple of closely related breeds are unique amongst the sighthounds in having collies as their source so are relatively young compared to the ancient sighhounds. The ancestors of salukis,  Tazy, sloughis and Galgos etc had no collie intermediary.

But the greyhound became the fastest dog that has or will exist, a supreme athlete.

As to Celtic origin?

 The earliest writing on coursing predates the Greyhound and Arrian, an adviser to the emperor Hadrian describes "Gauls" running hares to rules and of sighthounds in northern Spain. 

 The Greyhound came about after Rome conquered the great majority of Celtic nations and they that we have likely to thank for the early development of the Greyhound in Britain after their invasion. They were great coursers and knew the ancient breeds from their empire further afield and likely set out to produce a  coursing dog to hunt the hare's they also introduced to Britain.

The Galgos where being used in coursing before the greyhound existed whilst the Saluki was chasing jeroboa in the deserts as it couldn't catch a hare without  a falcons help

The history of the sighthounds will always be open to interpretation and subject to wishful thinking. Genetics are answering some questions but raising others. The salukis, Afghan and tazi are related then the sloughis,  azawakh and Galgos form another group but the two groups aren't closely related although both ancient so likely have a different origanal root.

A little  dated but interesting read which demonstrates a little of hiw sighhounds were prior to the idea of registered breeds. Towards the end we see lots of local types, something that we lose when breeds rather than types become the focus.
