Saluki Gift Items

The Saluki, originally known as the Persian Greyhound, is perhaps the oldest known breed of domestic dog. As a purebred type, its history can be traced back thousands of years. Like elsewhere in the Fertile Crescent region, Saluki ike animals appear on the ancient ceramics from Susa and Sialk of 3500 BC, as well as on Egyptian tombs of 2100 BC. The word Saluki is most likely derived from Seleucid, a Hellenistic Dynasty who ruled Persia from 312 to 63 BC, and are believed to have promoted the breeding of these animals. The Saluki is thought to have been introduced to Europe by the Celts, and later on by Romans. The animal was first imported to England in 1840, and was called a Persian Greyhound. The Kennel Club recognised the Saluki breed in 1923. We have a wide selection of Saluki Gift Items including Saluki Cushions, Saluki Throws and Saluki Shoulder Bags.
