Are Salukis good family dogs?

Yes, most Salukis are good family dogs. While they can be quite shy or aloof around strangers, these high-speed pups tend to be loving and loyal to their own family. They do require intense daily activity, so an active family that loves to go jogging or has a house with a fenced-in yard for playing is ideal. Like most sighthounds, Salukis can be prone to dashing off after small animals in the park or on a trail, so it’s best to keep them leashed or ensure they have excellent recall in high-distraction environments.
