Salukis

Once known as the Persian Greyhound or the gazelle hound, the Saluki has long been considered one of the most ancient of breeds.

Salukis are one of the earliest dog breeds, dating back to 3600 B.C., and rose to prominence during the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, when they frequently appeared in ancient Egyptian artwork on tombs. Therein lies the natural tie to Southern Illinois, a region which is frequently referred to as “Little Egypt.”
