1. Saluki

The Saluki is an elegant, thin, tall sighthound that has a silky, smooth and soft coat that does not shed. The Saluki is one of the oldest breeds in the world and is a devoted pet. Since the dog is graceful and catlike, it is not a dog that appreciates roughhousing, so homes with older children or only adults are best. The lifespan of the Saluki ranges from 12 to 14 years, and the dog’s coat is available in several colors including white, black, red, tan and multi-colored.
