Saluki Growth Chart
The Saluki is one of the oldest known dog breeds, a graceful Middle Eastern sighthound prized by nomadic tribes for its speed and endurance in the desert. Tall, slim, and elegant, Salukis are built for running, not bulk. Most reach an adult weight of 40-65 lb between 14 and 18 months.

Saluki weight by age
Typical male and female puppy weight ranges by age, available in lb and kg. Individual puppies may vary.
Most Saluki puppies approach adult weight around 18 months, although individuals may finish earlier or later.
These estimated ranges combine the breed's adult weights with a size-based growth curve. They are not measured breed-specific percentiles or health targets. Month labels are rounded approximations; use the week values for each row. How these weight ranges are calculated
Saluki Growth Stages
Understanding the typical growth stages helps you know what to expect as your Saluki puppy grows.
Neonatal
0–2 weeksPuppies are born with eyes and ears closed, relying entirely on their mother. Rapid weight gain occurs during this period.
Socialization
3–12 weeksEyes and ears open. Puppies begin to explore, play, and learn social behaviors. This is a critical period for development.
Juvenile
3–8 monthsRapid growth continues. Puppies become more independent, start teething, and develop coordination.
Adolescent
8–14 monthsGrowth rate begins to slow. Puppies reach sexual maturity and may test boundaries. Muscle mass develops.
Young Adult
14–18 monthsGrowth is nearly complete. Your puppy is filling out and approaching adult proportions.
Adult
18+ monthsYour puppy has reached their full adult size. Weight should remain relatively stable with proper nutrition.
Saluki FAQ
How much will my Saluki puppy weigh as an adult?
Adult Salukis typically weigh between 40 and 65 lb. The breed standard does not split this range by sex, so the same 40-65 lb band applies to both — females often land toward the lighter end.
At what age is a Saluki fully grown?
Most reach adult weight between 14 and 18 months. Sighthounds mature into their elegant frames gradually; a tall, slim yearling that still looks unfinished is usually right on track.
How accurate is a Saluki puppy weight chart?
It is a reliable reference, but this breed's build is extreme — a healthy Saluki shows ribs and hip bones that would look alarming on other breeds. Do not mistake sighthound leanness for underweight; trust the scale and the trend over weeks.
How much should a Saluki puppy weigh at 12 weeks?
Check the 12-week row in the weight-by-age table above for the estimated range. If your puppy falls well outside that band, re-check the scale, the lb/kg setting, and the age entry first — a single off reading is more common than a truly unusual puppy.
Do male and female Salukis grow differently?
The official adult range is the same for both sexes at 40-65 lb. Males are usually a bit taller and heavier within the range, but the overlap is wide enough that one chart serves both.
