How big do Salukis get?

Salukis are medium to large-sized dogs with a graceful, slender build. Males typically stand between 23 to 28 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh around 40 to 65 pounds. Females are a bit smaller, standing about 20 to 26 inches tall and weighing between 35 to 55 pounds. 

Several factors can influence a Saluki’s final size. Genetics play a significant role, with the size of the parents often being a good indicator of the size of their puppies. Nutrition is another important factor; a balanced diet during growth periods can help a Saluki reach their optimal size. Additionally, overall health and early socialization can impact their development.
