Because of this, we shouldn&#039;t neglect his socialization with other humans at the imprinting stage to help him overcome his shyness as an adult.<\/p>\n<p>As a good eastern breed, these sighthounds <strong>they are very independent dogs<\/strong>. <strong>They can be taught obedience, but with patience, constancy and consistency<\/strong>. Like other greyhound breeds, you should opt for a<strong> polite or positive education<\/strong> in which active punishment and fear are dispensed with to avoid serious behavior problems, such as learned helplessness.<\/p>\n<p>The saluki was selected for the <strong>gazelle hunting<\/strong>, so it has a natural predisposition towards hunting <strong>moving prey<\/strong>. But not only does he trust his gaze, he also trusts his smell, with which he tracks possible prey out of his visual field. For all these reasons, <strong>take care of socialization during the puppy stage so as not to promote their great hunting instinct<\/strong>, presenting him with different species with which he will live in his environment, such as small breed dogs, cats and rabbits, among others.<\/p>\n<p>If your greyhound has a strong instinct, it is not advisable to release it in open spaces or with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salukiclub.org\/is-a-saluki-right-for-you.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=es&amp;q=http:\/\/www.salukiclub.org\/is-a-saluki-right-for-you.html&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1498807525525000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG_PX6F7Nj6oi0CZV2kOCFilSGkEg\">fences that do not exceed two meters in height<\/a> because they can jump over them with ease.<\/p>\n<p>The salukis<strong> They are very active dogs, but this does not mean that we should force physical exercise to tire them.<\/strong> Your ideal routine would include <strong>daily walks<\/strong> in which it is allowed <strong>a few minutes of running at your own pace and in freedom<\/strong>, as well as <strong>smell games<\/strong> to challenge you and keep you mentally active.<\/p>\n<h1>SALUKI DISEASES<\/h1>\n<p>The Persian Greyhound can be affected by a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dogbreedhealth.com\/saluki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=es&amp;q=http:\/\/www.dogbreedhealth.com\/saluki\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1498807525525000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHue0UHjPK3EZKF8D4bXnr0qLyrng\">series of pathologies<\/a>\u00a0more frequent in their racial group<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Heart diseases.<\/li>\n<li>Progressive retinal atrophy.<\/li>\n<li>Hip dysplasia.<\/li>\n<li>Gastric dilation.<\/li>\n<li>Leukodystrophy.<\/li>\n<li>Ceroidolipofuscinosis.<\/li>\n<li>Chemical sensitivity to certain compounds and medical treatments, such as anesthesia.<\/li>\n<li>Motor neuron disease.<\/li>\n<li>Follicular dysplasia of black hair.<\/li>\n<li>Thrombocytopenia<\/li>\n<li>Hypothyroidism<\/li>\n<li>Canine hemangiosarcoma.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1>SALUKI CARE<\/h1>\n<p><strong>The Persian Greyhound<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>it is a dog of little care<\/strong>.
