Ah, I love salukis too. I've only ever met one, but she was a lovely dog; very even tempered and gentle.

Yes, I think nomadic tribes use three animals to hunt; the arab horse, the hawk and the saluki. The saluki retrieves the prey of the hawk, I think. Something along those lines, it was a while since I read about it. So no, I don't think they like an excess of human company.

ETA: Just realised how old this thread is, and what happened to the OP.
