Lol wheres that from the boys book of doggies lol, there's a lot of tosh written about sighthounds but thankfully genetics are sorting the wheat from the chaff. The sighthounds in general are all whats known as ancient breeds meaning they have no other ancestor within their genetic makeup, other than the greyhound which although old is developed from a collie type likely at the time the hare was introduced to Britain by the Romans. The Romans likely brought ancient sighthounds with them, quite possibly  galgos as their were Spanish legions in northern Europe and they extolled their value in their writings but not enough to leave a genetic trace. The locals thought we'll have some of that and set about creating their own sighthound and develop the fastest dog ever bred, the English greyhound.

galgos been in spain 2000 years since julius ceaser lol

more likey romans brought dogs with them from middle east mate then spain

Still plenty of game in some parts of North Africa/Mediterranean basin I was offered a job in a hospital out there and one of the sweeteners was going out with the managers brother and his sloughi/lurchers and having my own dogs. I like the dog bit but didn't fancy leaving my family for weeks at a time. His brother is a decent sort though and I keep in contact with them just to see what they're up to .

Salukis come in all sizes, shapes , coats and colours, and fair enough, some do look like sloughis.

A few pics I took in the Arabian Saluki Centre in Abu Dhabi,

And one I had in Saudi;

I was retired and back in the UK then, a friend of my daughter invited me out to see his Saluki kennels and falcon mews, so no hunting then.

When I lived in Saudi I was out every weekend , but as said, very little game around.

Cheers.

Well, I don't know about you, but I find it helpful at times, when fellas on here put up some posts that make sense to me, that are also interesting and historically pretty accurate.  .

Oh yeah, it also helps that charts puts what he writes in an easy to understand manner, and with a little humour lol.
