They can be good with cats if the cat is left to its own instinctive abilities. This is a healthy breed that is not prone to any major health problems. The Saluki is not recommended for apartment life. They are relatively inactive indoors and will do best with acreage. This breed should sleep indoors.
Warm temperatures are most comfortable, but very hot weather can be uncomfortable.
The Saluki is a natural athlete that needs a lot of exercise. They are happiest when running, however many are lost or killed when they are allowed to get free. This very independent dog can never be off its lead except in an isolated, scouted area. These dogs hunt on sight. They will pay no attention to their handler's calls if they are chasing something.
