wind hounds adoption center!
let me introduce to you two very ancient and beautiful dog breeds:
the desert born Saluki:
These dogs come from the arabian deserts where they were bred even before the Bedouins bred their precious Arabian horses!
In the contrary to other dogs, this breed is valued very highly by the Beduoins because of their usefulness in hunting gazelles and hares, they are even allowed to sleep at their owners tent and are appreciated members of the family!
There are two different fur types:
the feathered and the short haired type, which differ only in the lenght of the feathering of legs, ears and tail.
The most commonly seen colours are creme, black, chocolate, red, black and tan, black and silver, grizzle and tricolor. White Salukis are very rare and seldomly seen. All colours can come with a mask and some reds even have black ears.
and
the brittish Deerhounds:
The brittish Deerhound counts to the giant and ancient windhound breeds of the Celts.
Once they where used to chase the deer into the sight of the hunters and later they where appreciated companion dogs to the scottish aristocracy.
Their fur is shagy and rough but contiguous and comes in many shades of grey, in yellow and in red with black mask, ears and tail. Very very rarely you can possibly glimpse a white or black one.
It is a very strong breed but commonly calm and graceful. They like to please their owners, are brave and smart.
