Howdy Terri,
Brought up "properly" they are standoffish. I've had 2 that were
social. One of which is Chime. She will be all over people for a minute
or 2 and then go on to other things, then come back to be noticed and
then leave again and this goes on until the visitor leaves. Usually all
Salukis will greet people that come to their house but it is a low keyed
greeting. Now if you go to a place that has a number of Salukis then you
can get a noisey hello. People that come to my place have to come up to
the front gate which is away from the house so the dogs have a chance
to bark from their smaller fenced area.

Howdy Terri,
Sleeping on their backs is a standard sleeping positon for Salukis.
Chime has taken it to a new level by hanging her head over the edge of
the couch with her nose almost touching the floor. She will also eat her
treats from that position :-)
I don't know if I would want a dog that is more affectionate than the
Saluki. When they get in my king sized bed they make it reeeeeal tight
:-) And like they say; Being in bed with a Saluki is like sleeping with
a gunny sack full of deer antlers :-)

I just visited a friend today who has 4 Salukis. Her oldest probably
has the typical Saluki temperament; he is standoffish, at least until
he gets to know people. He knows me very well, so he greeted me
politely (wagging and sniffing, accepting petting). She has another
female and male that are both unusually friendly, especially the
bitch, who jumped up and put her paws on my shoulder. The 4th is
still a pup, so the jury's still out on him. They definitely bark
when people come over.
