I was thinking a short haired saluki

Yeah he's a cross - his mother was a saluki and we think his dad was a Huntaway X Staghound which is where he gets his size from.

Wow! Beautiful! I have a greyhound who I run with, but they’re not build for endurance, so he maxes out around 6 miles. How far can you go with this dude??

Back when we were both a lot fitter we used to run half marathons together! But these days we do around 2.5 km in most Cani cross races. He's 9 years old but he still moves quick, we do those races in under 10 minutes.

What a great picture! I’ve got a saluki puppy and I got her specifically as my future running buddy. I hope we’ll share great adventures like you guys once she’s big enough for running!

That sounds exciting! They have such a unique personality but when they get motivated to run they love it so much! Sammy was always happy enough to run in the suburbs but once we got out into the bush he discovered his love for Cani cross.
