@@lyndafay8528 I have had I Saluki‘s with me from 1970 until now and I have had two at a time through that period of time. I have never had problems with my males or the bitches. They have always been wonderful companions and totally loyal. I don’t know who your breeder is But I would change if you still want to breed.
I grew up with Salukis and so did my brothers and Salukis got along well with us without any problems. Dont know where you got that Salukis are bad with toddlers
How about both. Have had saluki for 30 years and now have my first afghan together with my elderly saluki. Love both breeds even though afghans are more high maintenence
I have both breeds, and both are delightful. My Afghan Hound is a total cool customer. Loves to sleep in my lap, bounces around like Tigger! Very loving dog. My Salukis (I have 4) are all very different. But they can be very intense in their attachment to people. My favorite part of the day is when my tiny, 2 year old Saluki girl and my big Afghan boy run circuits around the dog yard, taking turns being "the rabbit."
You have the saluki wrong. They need an hour of hard running a day until they're 4. Walk one around the block, they'll hate you. They need a big field, and good running. They're amazing with kids. From babies to toddlers, to infants, they LOVE kids gentler than a greyhound and more likely to tolerate being clambered on. They will chase anything. For miles. These are the marathon runners of the dog world. Tired is a curse word. How about actually spending time with some, before comparing? You've done a beautiful FAMILY dog a grave injustice.
I have two salukis and just like you said they are great with children, they need a good run around at least an hour per day but they can eat all day if you give them a chance to, i had boxers before salukis and the salukis are like peter pan compared to the boxers, be prepared for non stop laughs
@@robertdixon3580 what does mean saluki like peter pan? Just wondering and does saluki like water and bath? I would like to bring one but my country dont have many info for them
Both are glamorous and beautiful but there is a lot more maintenance with the Afghan hound. Also they need always to be on a long lead to prevent escape.
I had an Afghan Hound from 7 weeks old until he died at 13 years. I am lucky to live in Cornwall near beaches and clay pits, (wide open spaces.) I would check a place out to make sure he couldn't get to a road or farm animals. If all was well I'd let him off the lead. I never lost him and so he spent more than half his life off the lead. Yes at times he was difficult to get back on the lead and I had to be more crafty than him which made me laugh, but he was an Afghan and I accepted that. If perfectly safe, they need to run free.
@@robertdixon3580 Indeed. And the worst thing is that they are pretty good at fooling you into thinking that they have very good recall... And then they really, really, really want something. Or just want to take you for a long walk in the forest - you call and they come within 5-10m and stand there looking at you like "what took you so long? Let's go, go go!"
I let my afghan off the lead on the beach with no problems. I think you need to start letting the dog off the lead when very young so it becomes habit rather than a novelty.
I've owned five afghans and it is a shame all of these documentaries can't get past the grooming aspect of the breed. They are no harder to care for than any other long haired breed. Unfortunately their beauty is the reason why most people buy them and because of the grooming requirements they never get to appreciate what a glorious beastie these goof balls are.. I realized this six months into my first experience with a hound. I.ve always joked that when you're dealing with an afghan, you have to accept the fact that half of the time when you look into their eyes you can see the lights are on but there is nobody home.
My parents got a male and female afghan when I was 5 and my sister 3. No one had ever seen one in our city. They bred them, showed them and they were wonderful with small kids. Smart and sweet and yet great guard dogs. They will run together as a pack if they got loose. Yes they need grooming, so does my Pyrenean Shepherd I have now. Many dogs need regular grooming, it's not that big of a deal. And you can always have them clipped. A friend of mine had show afghans and as soon as they "retired" them they shaved them.
Having had Salukis for 20yrs, I can state, categorically, they need to run- it’s what they were bred for- walk round the block will only result in a very unhappy and destructive dog. Saluki are the long distance runners of the sighthounds - their speed and stamina is beyond impressive. They need to run for good mental health. Many of the clips in this video are from other makers video- it’s time YT put a stop to both plagiarism and poor quality content.
Great topic and presentation!👍 Great time to have videos on pure bred dogs available as well as the lockdown has taken the fun out of going to a dog show.
P.S. Our experience is with Afghan Hounds but I have had an eye on the Saluki for quite some time and after your video would like to learn more. Afghan puppies are adorable and the puppy stage lasts a long time. It would be nice to see a comparison video of Afghan and Saluki pups.
P.S.S. I learned from your video that there is also a smooth Saluki. My primary interest is in seeing beautiful dogs bred true to origin and proven in the field. Thank you again for the educational and well done presentation. 🐕 👍
@@ONEFAITHofJESUS I've had salukis for a decade, and they're portrayal here has upset me. They're puppies until they're at least 4, and extremely high energy. You can't walk one around a block and expect a happy dog. (Think spaniel). They're needy. You will become their slave (if they love you enough). They're glamorous. Fast. Beautiful. They adore children and babies as a rule. I've never known one to NOT be gentle and allow play/ear pulls/puppy piles. They will allow manicures and nail polish. They don't bark. Crap guard dogs. They're not food orientated. Have fun training, because they *choose* whether to obey. This is not a lab. They're smarter than an Afghan. But not by much. Stubborn buggers. 12/10 would recommend. They're amazing animals
@@zacharyjarlath-aris9957 thank you for the overview shared from your personal experience! Salukis sound endearing. I must admit, we do appreciate the capable “watch” dog in Afghans. It’s not an across the board trait but when they have it, they are great at alerting. Would love to get to spend a little more time with Salukis. Thanks again 😊
Salukis are fine in an apartment, they are lying around all day but, ....need to be able to run at least once a day!!! and for a good old while!! and back to the cushion at home ; ))
Afghans are thin too. It’s the coat that makes them look bigger. These are sighthounds and need to be slender to do the job they were bred to do. A fat saluki or Afghan would not have the ability to run at speed if the were over weight.
Got my first Afghan in 1981... haven't been without one since. However Salukis are gorgeous, too!
My neighbor has a few afghan hounds and we see their heads poking over the wall between our houses 😂:)
Haha they must be really curious :)
I have had an Afghan but have had eight saluki’s. I have never had a bad saluki they are loyal and a wonderful dog I wouldn’t have any other breed
I’ve had Salukis that were nightmares. The bitches were fine but the males were hard work.

I agree with you myself Salukis where great with toddlers and all age of children
Saluki rules the world 😎

Does saluki likes water and bath? Im going to bring one soon later
The real Afghans are still used for hunting... They have a different name

The final of the video with the Afghan messing around in the sink is very funny. 😀
I will choose both Afghan hounds and saluki So Gorgeous.
I have had both and in my opinion the Afghan is calmer than the saluki.
I have two Afghan hound they are so affectionate good guard dogs and good fun especially on the beach my number one dog❤❤

Oh to be at a dog show right now LOL
my dad has had over 20 afghan hounds in afghanistan and his recent one died less than a year ago all lived over the age of 4
Both r good but afghan hound is something v special
No saluki is best
My handsome boy afghanhound black ingenue premier choix
What do I think?
I think I can’t afford them 😅
Saluki ❤❤❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗❤🤗❤🤗❤🤗❤
If they could breed advantage hounds to have no coat except long hear on the head that would be awesome
They look like some sort of Pokemon 😂
Afghan hound is the best ❤😘
🇦🇫🥰🇪🇬
Saluki breed is very much Better this dog is lovely
I prefer saluki, can't deal with all those fur :D
The Afghan looks more fun
Je comprends pas ce que tu dis parle français
desole mais cette chaîne youtube est pour les anglophones. J'ferai peut-etre une chaîne pour les francais un jour ;)
If I lived on a farm with lots of land I would own these large dogs, otherwise my tiny apartment is just torture for them 😞
I have an afghan, an apartment would be totally fine. Just need to exercise outside everyday :)
This is a myth I’m afraid! Afghans are couch potatoes. They do not need a lot of exercise, just a normal walk everyday.
Salukis are fine in an apartment, they are lying around all day but, ....need to be able to run at least once a day!!! and for a good old while!! and back to the cushion at home ; ))
Afghan hound
Girls go Afghan
Men go Saluki
et Voila hahahaha solved the problem
@Wara-Chi jajaj just kidding
Afghan is the best but I did not like saluki because he / she is so thin
If you shaved the hair off an afghan it would be as thin as a saluki
@@robertdixon3580 Nope but alright you tell true 😄
