Summary
About Saluki
The Saluki is an ancient, elegant sighthound known for speed, endurance, and a calm, sensitive nature. Gentle yet independent, it needs kind training, secure space to sprint, moderate grooming for its fine coat, and careful handling of strong chase and prey instincts.
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
