The Saluki.

Salukis have a cool elegant look to them. Not a particularly fancy looking breed of dog, but they have this simple elegance in the way they present themselves.

When I see them I see the athlete in them.

Because I am a runner I definitely see the runner in them. The dog that wants to be on the move.

They look to my like they have the body of an animal that would be a typical distance running athlete.

And I have seen them run a fair bit at agility events and it is fun to watch.
