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 Bavarian Mountain Hound
The Bavarian Mountain Hound is a medium, athletic scent hound bred in Bavaria for tracking wounded game. Calm and reserved with strangers but affectionate with family, it has a short red‑to‑fawn coat and excels in scent work. Best for active homes that enjoy regular outdoor and mental activity.
