I grew up with a Beagle, who lived for 15 years. I've owned 3 flatcoats (one was dumb, dumb, dumb), a couple of bassetts, finished a couple labs and finished one PBGV, who lived to be 17. I've always wanted a Saluki. I love the way they look and move--they are regal-looking. However, I don't think I'll be getting one in the near future: Forest wouldn't like it!
