I thought you might want to see this very heavily coated Saluki.

Interesting that he has a coat like prior to neutering, whats he going to be after he is neutered :blink:

I wonder if he is pure Saluki? Standing against the person holding his lead he looks fairly small yet has considerable substance going by his head, pasterns and hocks.

I don't know, I've taken a good look at the photos and while his head looks pure Saluki his pelvis and tail look a bit Afghan-like. The pelvis on an Afghan generally sits up a bit higher on the spine than in a Saluki and has a more extreme slope on the croup.

All my Afghan crosses have had a very Afghan look to the heads, but I've seen Afs crossed with other breeds that did not have the same look to the head. Could be he's an Afghan mixed with something else entirely, sometimes the genetic cookie crumbles in a very strange way.

Here's a picture of another hairy Saluki for you. He was badly needing to have his coat stripped and thinned out. He's pictured with his first litter.

Same hound, groomed, and after being shown in veterins class... and still hairy.

The Saluki, Yosif, who went BOB at Westminster this year is also another hairy Saluki. Very handsome too!
