Salukis and greyhounds fall under the category of "Sighthound" meaning they were bred to hunt using their sight, rather than scent. Both breeds top out at 40-45 miles per hour. The difference is that the saluki can hold these speeds for miles, as opposed to the greyhound, who is a sprinter. THey greyhound will do 40-45 mph for a much shorter distance, because they lack the endurance. So they are equally as fast, but the saluki will run it for longer.

Fastest wild animal in the world?
The Saluki. The Saluki is the fastest animal. It is tied with the cheetah. If the Saluki(dog) and the Cheetah would have a race, the Saluki would win. The cheetah can run for a short amount of time, but the Saluki can run for a longer period of time. If the cheetah didn't run out of breath so quickly, then it would most defintley win in front of the Saluki by a few metres.
