Saluki

Built for distance rather than a short burst, the Saluki was bred to run down gazelle and hare across desert. It has more stamina than a greyhound and a stronger independent streak, which shows up as polite indifference to commands it finds pointless. Off-lead reliability is poor even by sighthound standards, and a Saluki can clear a low fence when it sees something worth chasing. At home it is gentle, quiet and somewhat reserved with strangers, and it prefers a soft bed to a cold floor.
