Is the trained hunting dog a specific type?

The questioner : The hunting dog has a specific form, but if a dog of a different form learns to hunt, does it fall under the ruling for a trained dog?

The Shaykh : Yes, it does. The hunting dog they call the Saluki in our region—if a dog of a different type learns to hunt, there is no objection. For this reason, even if something other than a dog learns to hunt, such as a cheetah or another animal, there is no harm in that.
