Tall, slender dog with a silky coat and large drooping ears (6)

I believe the answer is:

saluki

(Other definitions for saluki that I've seen before include "Tall silky-coated dog" , "Shown [AT CRUFTS]" , "Dog resembling a greyhound" , "Gazelle-hound" , "5 [MANS BEST FRIEND]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
