The Saluki is widely regarded as one of the oldest dog breeds in the world. Archaeological evidence, including carvings and tomb paintings, suggests that Salukis have been companions to humans for over 4,000 years, with some estimates placing their origins as far back as 7,000 to 9,000 years ago. They were highly prized by ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Middle Eastern civilizations for their speed, grace, and hunting abilities.
Other ancient breeds include the Basenji, Akita Inu, and Afghan Hound, all of which also have ancient origins and unique histories
