SC: They remained unchanged for almost 6000 years.
US: Challenge accepted, let's breed them like a celebrity dog to ruin their face and speed.
Fair enough, but keep in mind that there are a devoted and determined minority of Americans that hunt their salukis on jackrabbits (45 mph) competitively, and love them and seek to maintain them just as the early British breeders brought them from the desert a century ago.

"Over 3 km"
cheetah's can't maintain the speed for long, they accelerate faster and then for few seconds..
Ain’t never seen a cheetah run like that with/without taking its inhaler lol........Saluki are just phenomenal 💯💯💯
Cheetah is faster for a short distance, 100 meters or something but will not keep up to 3 km.
It's like you're comparing Bolt and Kipchoge.
My neighbor has a Saluki. It's the most wonderful dog ... very calm, affectionate, sweet.

I watched a clip where an Arabian dog was running with an Arabian horse in the desert. Its amazing how fast both run and the dog is able to keep up with the horse.

The saluki is also known as the Arabian greyhound. There's also a similar breed with a similar name called a sloughi.
Persian Greyhound, formerly.
Being a native Arabic speaker; I can tell you that saluki = sloughi, it's a matter of spelling across the arabian world from Morocco to Iraq and beyond :)
@@nabilnabil8336 I figured that they are pretty much the same breed.
@ABRAHAM The old AKC, British name was what I had in mind, the name formerly used to describe them in English speaking countries.
As it stands now, historically, we know that the Egyptians had depictions of dogs very like salukis as far back as 3000 years, and most famously on the incredible gold ostrich fan found in King Tut's tomb.
Also, there are seals from Mesopotamia, used by the Sumerians that also depict hunting dogs very like the saluki from as far back as 3000 B.C. Interested saluki enthusiasts and academics have been doing scholarly work on this since the 70's. It IS very interesting to wonder which ancient civilization gave us such a treasure, and heaven bless the Bedouin for preserving them into the 20th century.

Before anyone makes the same old, snarky “cheetahs: am I a joke to you?” comment, I’m pretty sure smithsonian knows that cheetahs are faster. Greyhounds are faster. They stated salukis are the fastest animal OVER 3 KM. Everyone tuned out that part of the sentence just to make that comment. Everybody has made the comment before. I get it: cheetahs are faster. They could have definitely worded it better (clickbaity title), but I just want to clarify
Wow when you realize its almost as fast as a cheetah in short bursts but even faster over distance is absolutely incredible 😮
Roughly half as fast as a Cheetah.
@@paulskopic5844 really i always thought cheetahs top out around 70-75 mph?
@@johnschultz3287 Cheetahs top out at around 80mph. Salukis top out at around 43mph.
They're endurance runners, cheetahs are all about the 100m sprint.
@@Corzappy Ya Cheetah overheat and will die in around a minute at full gallop, maybe less, so they have to stop. At 70-80mph they travel further than 100m though. Something like half-a-mile - around 800m - at about the 30sec mark.
@Bigger Issues I have a speed recording for a Saluki at 55mp, never seen that though, must of been a really fast one. Coyotes have hit that to, and greyhounds have gone 50 and possibly over.
There is no coursing hound like the Saluki. I have owned Greyhound, Saluki and Whippet, but as a hunter the Saluki is in a class by itself.
Were you training some kind of world class flyball team or what, cos those 3 zoomies seems like a recipe for one.
@@michellelee8933 No...lol. I ran all three breeds, on dog tracks, and after jackrabbits in the southwest, in various conditions. The saluki feet, and body, didn't break down, and they could run further, especially in hot conditions.
@@joshuamcpherson007 Shame on you
@@m-tetsuo Shame on you for judging people you know nothing about.
Saluki weight? and age limit?
Can it bear cold conditions?
Greyhounds are faster. They can beat salukis in a sprint race. But in long races where endurance matters, salukis win.
I had a Saluki that caught a deer twice!
Btw, why is heendoos still in youtube, facebook and whatsapp? isn't your government banning all these social media because it exposes your lies?
the world needs the Grey Saluki
Forget Greyhound, Cheetahs are way faster.. But in terms of speed with distance, saluki's the fastest predator on the planet..
Magnificent dogs!
We used to have a few of these to catch rabbits sometimes. Saluki is not only fast but extremely agile in twists and turns.
It's called " selluguee سلوقي" the best choise when it comes for chassing and catching preys .
It's spelled saluki
@@mrmagoo4134 i can assure to you that in arabic it's spelled natively "selluguee" (g) like in word "guitar" you can spell it as you prefer like with "k" but it won't be much .
@Fawaz Shaikh it's q in standard Arabic, but if someone can't pronounce the q saying it as a g is better than k because the Bedouins use the g pronunciation.
@Fawaz Shaikh you've got it it right only in ammya and also in first names and family names " garoui " "ganda"
So dogs are not harram?
Interesting how the two fastest animals on earth have a shape that is almost identical, the Saluki and the Cheetah
It’s called convergent evolution. By nature or man, the same traits are selected for.
They were both used for hunting by the Arabs
Saluki 2nd fastest dog on 🌎
@@StephanB.300 Well 37mph is not even close to the fastest, red foxes and coyotes go up to 50mph.
@@StephanB.300
Greyhounds are faster and better on an actual track, but lack stamina the Saluki has. They're also not that good outside of the track.
The Cheetahs are calling a meeting in the Savannah right now
That is one exquisite specimen. Thank you, Arabians for b inventing this breed.
That dude' smile introducing them is billions worth
@UFC MMA AMOGUS
"Today Saluki is no longer needed for hunting"
That's because there is nothing left to hunt.
No because the Bedouins eats burgers now..
Nope....they use rpg now
Nope, it's just that the Arabs lives now a stable life in cities and even Bedouin have access to everything, so hunting is just a hobby, more of an expensive sport
@@MegaFarkh I'm from Saudi Arabia and I'm quite aware that people in the Arabian peninsula are not starving rather on the contrary. My point is people still hunting endangered animals and they are doing it for sport.
The Saluki doesn't eat what's caught before the arrival of the owner. Even if it dies of hunger.
I was wondering bout that it looks like it needs to be chasing some meals
@@anthonytaylor7928 thats how they nationally are, theyre skinny like cheetahs
I knew a Saluki/Border Collie that was a woodchuck machine. Wood chucks would look and think "Oh. here comes a d....". A favorite dog at the Farm.
The only reason they can catch gazelles is because of the gazelle's lack of endurance. But speed wise, a gazelle would scorch a Saluki
That is why the 2 legged endurance hunters called humans can also run down a gazelle
@@protonneutron9046 poor Gazelles. We are the equivalent of Slender Man for them, never stopping following them even for days till they just die of despair and horror.
Also there are no gazzeles left in the Arabia anymore. Only a few in captivity.
@@nunyabiznes33 pretty sure they die of fatigue, and heat stress
@@rigo.acosta actually they die of because of guns and cars, before that they live in the desert normally.

Saluki dog is amazing
I’m not sure of the Saluki’s strength, but the speed and especially the distance that they can run are significant factors to show their abilities as hunters~💯❣️

My Lab is much, much stronger than my Saluki. Really no contest. But the Saluki is fierce, and doesn't take lightly to other dogs trying to dominate him.
@@alignmentunknown3156 Great to know...thank you for sharing the information~🤗👍
at a distance of 3km *he is* the fastest land predator because a cheetah would run out of gas, but at shorter distances a cheetah would *smoke* the Saluki
@@QuantumPyrite_88.9 not at all 🙄 dogs are build for endurance 🙄
Cheetahs only do about 200 to 300m of intense sprinting and if they can’t catch their prey within that range they just ran out of gas tank.besides it can also do 3 chances in day and that’s it,it will have to rely on others to catch and replace those calories lost
"This is the fastest land predator on earth"
What happened to all the cheetas? Did they get extinct while I was in quarantine?
Over long distance, cheetas tend to get over heated and tired.
He started the sentence with "Over a distance of 3kms"
Cheetahs are faster, but at much shorter distances. Thus the phrase “over a distance of 3km”....
Yeah I was left scratching my head on that long and disconnected sentence.
I was thinking the same thing! Cheetahs run between 50 - 80 mph. A gazelle runs top speed of 60 mph. Someone’s math is bad.
Your stories are amazing that dog was beautiful
"Over a distance of 3 km, this is the fastest land predator on Earth."
Lots of necessary caveats in that statement.
Hahaha yeah- I got a good chuckle out of that line as well...
Believe greyhounds are faster.
@@redsloane879 it's an Arabian Greyhound -_-
@@redsloane879 a grayhound can't run as much distance as a saluki,
@@vidadeunhoundsman2685 I know that. Greyhounds are the fastest for short distances.
Legend has it that the dog is still running across the desert
😂 I kind feel bad for him
The body is like cheeta, while cheeta is a lot faster but the maximum speed could be maintained only for some 200 m while this dog can run some 3km with 60km/h speed.
The Saluki has different varieties and spreads from the Arabian peninsula to Iran and Afghanistan with some changes in its coat.
Cheetah Sprinter... Salukhi endurance runner ...
@Mimi Kyuki They are not "man-made" they are the result of selective breading same as all the domesticated animals and plants. But the fact they are very similar to Cheetahs shoes they did a great job in selective breeding.
@@drpk6514 selective breeding requires humanity, so it basically is "man-made"
Things aren't going to choose a mate like that. They decide how to make the healthiest offspring, but selective breeding forces the animal against its will to find an actual partner to produce the wanted offspring.
Keep in mind that selective breeding tends to require inbreeding.
@@Ceres4S2D1 thats still not "man-made"
@@jmshahbazasif You think they wanted to be that way?
Their face is even aerodynamic.
60km/h for 3 km + the exhaust from the 4x4 car is indeed impressive
Under the scorching heat of the desert to boot.
I searched about this breed on Wikipedia and found out that this breed is a pure Iranian breed. If you have any doubts, go and see for yourself. Saluki is the same as Persian Greyhound.
I don't understand why you want to name things For example, the Arabian Gulf is basically the Persian Gulf

This is known as convergent evolution, where 2 things evolve similar traits in periods of time. In this case, the dog's body.

Afghan hounds run a very close second & can turn on a penny.
Afghans are one of the slowest sighthounds, only Irish wolfhounds are slower.
But then again neither of them are originally used to hunt like all the slimmer types.
Well it looks like the cheetah has competition lol.
I think it's not called "the fastest", it should be "the most endurance" dog. 🤔🤷🏻♂️
They said "one of the fastest" in the video, 60 km/h is very fast for an animal
Handsome Salukis! Great breed
These fine details of this dog is further proof of a creator 💕🧐
Are not, all living things, equally valid.
Arabian Gazelle: "Sad in Extinct"
I had an Australian shepherd mix that could in 30 mph for a mile.
I could run at 20 mph for a mile every hour, for two hours so two 20 miles per hour so 40 miles per two hours so 1/2 40 mph
LOL, The intro was looking epic till the end- shows the dog jogging. 😂. FAIL
What happens if the breeders find the dogs are not winning the races. Are they shot in the head and buried as has been done in greyhound racing. I hope not.
The sport of racing dogs and horses worldwide is totally brutal .
Yes so true. I just found out these big horse winners go to slaughter instead of a retirement pasture. These people claim to love horses. Yes as long as the money is coming in.
@@cherrymccall4806 Under cover investigation found that was happening in my country as well. Secretly taken video that was shown on tv of horses corralled in the slaughter yard that included retired race horses, even well known race winners, perfectly healthy horses that should have been retired to pasture but instead became dog food. They could identify the horses from markings and tattooed numbers visible in the video. The issue there is that the race trainers often sell the retired horses in good faith but then from that point on there’s no responsibility for their retirement care so the new owner can send them to slaughter for no good reason other than they don’t want to pay to maintain them as retired animals. I think the government has now put in place a system where the trainer must be responsible until the horses natural end of life regardless of who they are sold to or resold to.
Many are 'donated' to greyhound rescue groups .... that's where I adopted mine from. Super sweet!🐾❤

Nothing can match a saluki over 2 miles. Greyhounds and whippets are sprinters, borzoi can go long but are not as fast.
Yes, cheetahs are good for short, fast runs.

Faster then a cheetah?
the cheetah has a higher top speed but it is a sprinter. this dog can maintain the speed for a much longer time making it faster on average at a greater distance.
I knew it: one cheetah out of every…….. ohhhh….. 2 million can run at top speed for about 1.25 kilometres. By the time you get them to 3 kilometres, they are over in the shade drinking a tonic and water. There are no cheetah distance runners but they will jog or walk that far.
