The Saluki should have strong jaws and tight, dry lips. The eyes are oval and bright, and should be hazel to dark brown in color, with a keen, intelligent expression. Ear feathering varies greatly in length, but regardless of length should be soft and silky to the touch. The feathered Saluki also has feathering on the back of the legs and the underside of the tail, which is carried gracefully in a curve when moving. The amount of feathering is unimportant.
Saluki movement is light, effortless and totally balanced front to rear.
The Saluki should be moderately angulated so the movement is powerful and collected. This is an endurance hunter and the movement should look like the dog could move for hours without tiring. The Smooth variety is judged the same with the exception of the coat, which has no feathering.
