Are Saluki Dogs Playful Dogs?

    One of the things we love about canines is their playfulness. But some breeds are generally more playful than others.

    So, in the spirit of a good time, we combed through our breed profiles to find the pet dog breeds that tend to be the most fun loving. It's crucial to bear in mind that most of these breeds are not couch potatoes or shrinking violets and, in fact, generally need lots of physical and mental stimulation so they don't become bored.

    You should keep in mind that all dogs are individuals - not all Labs are obsessed with playing fetch, and there are probably even some Portuguese Water Dogs who don't like water.

    Of course, with any of these breeds, a dog's health and age will sway his level of liveliness. So even with these breeds, you should have a vet examine your canine to make sure there are no underlying conditions before initiating any exuberant activities.

Its expression should be dignified and gentle, with deep, faithful, far-seeing eyes. Its movement is light. The coat is smooth and silky; the feathered variety has long hair on its ears, tail, between its toes and sometimes on the backs of its legs; the smooth variety has no long feathering. This breed has a wide range of equally acceptable types, reflecting the wide area over which it was developed.

The Saluki tends to be aloof and reserved with strangers. It is extremely devoted to its own family, but it is not particularly demonstrative. The Saluki is very gentle with children, but it may not be playful enough to satisfy most of them. Extremely sensitive, it does not take to rough-and-tumble play or deal well with harsh corrections. Some Salukis can be shy. This breed is very quiet and sedate indoors, seeking out a soft, warm spot. Outside, it runs in great circles at tremendous speeds and will chase any small running animals or fast-moving objects. It may not come when called.
