The reason I asked I have a pure saluki bitch I been thinking of putting back to a coursing bred dog but these days I stay away from the big land with things being the way they are and most times I run my dogs on smaller land with hedges fences etc , iv been asking my self recently would I need a 5 mins in a tank kind of dog eg when I’m only running smaller land which you need a faster early pace kind of dog some one suggested a whippet over the saluki
If I could roam the big land like that on horse back I would be slipping big like that too , most of the land here is no where big as that only thing I would say about the galgo from what I have seen only on internet is that when they do make ground and get close they have no control of the hare few over kill on turns and the hares gone , a good dog sits behind a hare on big land watching it breaks the hare down slows it down and moves in on the kill (smaller land you want it to take it out fast ) the galgo seem to run very much like the greyhounds fast over killing the turns not tactical just

I read something of here someone mentioned a while back about feeding your dog when out walking exercising on
Any animal bred for competion will sell for big money horses greyhounds lurchers pit bulls match animals, working collie selling for top money trainered for sheep and for competitions. People make money of these matching studing and breeding and every ones aim is to have something Better
Everyone likes to jump on the band wagon haven’t heard anything running out of him except the litter from robins scruffy but she was a good bitch too out of barney, sister to scouser .
Personally to a pure I would go for a light fast dog aggressive style of running , some good dogs about Jamie (buddy x Sonia ) allisters duke , digger , rover , Romeo, shame buddy dog not about anymore
would it be worth importing something like this over ? Have many times tought about importing something over , own something different . would love to line a pure something like the above to our coursing bred stock .
