A must-have for the serious Saluki fancier! A coffeetable book that not only has gorgeous art, but also an in-depth information on the breed Standard, movement, selecting and raising a Saluki and much more. Starts with breed history and Salukis in the Ancient world, the Arab tradition, hunting in the desert, choosing and caring for your Saluki, the Saluki in Great Britain, coursing and racing, Salukis around the world, and the Saluki in art. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars the king of kings dog, August 21, 2002

This review is from: The Saluki in History, Art and Sport (Paperback)

I purchased this book as a first edition back in 1969 David and Charles press England,since then I reckon I have read it most months.The articles are interesting and hold ones attention to the fact that these dogs are so special.The photography is excellent,being packed out with what one wants to see-plenty of Salukis.It methodically lists all colour types and both coursing and show strain the coursing strains being obviously stronger and larger dogs.It is an obsolute must for the Saluki lover and I cant imagine any book matching its quality of words and pictures,especially the usually tacky USA publications we see on dogs,which are usually only an ego trip for the breeds owner,this book is not such a book,well it is typically English,isn`t it/-thanks Don
