12. Saluki
Average Price: $2,500*
Country of Origin: Egypt
The Saluki is one of the oldest types of dogs. It comes from dogs that used their eyes to hunt, not their nose. These dogs worked with people long ago and lived in a place called the Fertile Crescent.
They were some of the first dogs that people tamed. The Saluki today is great at hunting. It can run super fast, up to 43 miles per hour! This dog is known for being calm and a bit distant. It can live for up to fourteen years.
Even though the Saluki isn’t used for hunting by kings anymore, it still loves to run around. So, having lots of toys from pet shops or big stores like Walmart or Target is a good idea. The Saluki might seem skinny, but that’s how it naturally looks, so no need to worry.
