Meet Alfie
Saluki, 4 years old
Alfie
was adopted!
He came from Clymping Dog Sanctuary .
My favourite thing about Alfie is...
His super fast running.
The biggest challenge with Alfie is...
His anxiety.
The most surprising thing about owning a Saluki is...
Their laziness!
What I wish I’d known about Salukis is...
All the mud that gets stuck in his tail.
Did you know?
Prized by their royal owners in ancient Egypt, their death would be marked by a period of deep mourning and they would often be mummified wearing their ornate hunting collars. The famous boy king Tutankhamun is shown in his tomb with his favourite hounds - which all appear to be Salukis.
