I do love sighthounds. We used to take ours to lure trials. Both the borzoi and greyhound were field champions. The whippet did less well, but some of them are wonderful. I like just about all of them: Ibizen, Pharoah Hound, Saluki. I would love to have a Saluki, although at the trials they were inclined to be hard to re-call. It was actually pretty funny, you would see Saluki handlers launching themselves at their dogs trying to catch them. The dogs compete without collars. I also like the looks and temerment of the Scottish deerhound.
But then my mother swears I sat down with the AKC book as a child and said I wanted one of each. We've worked our way through a small section of the book. We keep finding breeds we like and getting more of same. Nancy
