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 Fila Brasileiro
Large Brazilian mastiff bred for guarding and big‑game hunting. Massive, agile, with loose skin and short coat. Deeply loyal and gentle with family but wary of strangers. Needs experienced, confident handling, careful socialisation, space, and steady, structured training.
