The three salukis

Photographs of our salukis, Shahrukh, Rani and Deeba. You see landscapes in the region of Twente, The Netherlands. The song is O Primeiro Canto by Dulce Pontes. Trilok Gurtu does part of the percussion with tabla and vocals.

These are the weirdest looking dogs I've ever seen, but they are very beautiful.

Thanks for your comment @katGarkia15! But weird? Ha ha! They don't at all look weird. They have been around in this form for a lot longer than all other breeds. (Do a wikipedia search on saluki and read the first paragraph.) And they are very sweet!

@MaamsJoan Your welcome. I didn't mean for it to sound that way, that was just my first impression. They're foreign to me. They are very, very beautiful though. I want one now :D do they get along with cats?

[MaamsJoan]

@katGarkia15 Salukis can get very well along with cats if they grow up with them.

If not since they are hunters they will chase and even kill a cat which they do not know. Do you have cats?

Wat een mooie Saluki's!

@prinsestjuly dank je !

I love salukis, I consider them the "best" breed. Nothing can replace their fake-out kisses, crazy jumps and odd singing noises. Most of all... they make one happy.

looks like saluki heaven to me... i am envious.

wtf is this

[HusbandnWifeDuo]

@MaamsJoan Yes both of us husband and wife are originally from Pakistan. We have been out of that country since 1996, but keep in touch. Rani and Deeba were the names of Pakistani actresses. Rani was one of the most beautiful lead stars of Indian / Pakistani cinema. She was a great dancer too. You will be able to find many videos of her on Youtube.

[MaamsJoan]

@HusbandnWifeDuo Shah Rukh is indeed the name of a Bollywood actor. Rani is one of his co-stars in a movie, but we used this name as simply meaning Queen. Deeba is Persian for silk.

Curious what the names of the Pakistani actresses was. Are you from Pakistan?

they look likr greyhounds but longer ears

[katGarkia15]

@MaamsJoan I have a black cat, and a german sheperd mix rotwieller. The dog's not very big though for some reason. They get a long really good and weren't raised with eachother at birth, which is I guess odd. Wow, those are some serious dogs, but my cat thinks he's a dog & likes to roughhouse w/ his B.F.F. :)
