    bill a good dog man sees his dogs limitations and works with it to get the best out of the dog.

    this is not a thread I would normally post on, I know nothing of collie crosses and nothing of hancock, but I would ask what did fastdogz think of their place and conditions for pups, and surely a commercial dog breading enterprise such as this will be subject to strict welfare rules.

    speed is important, and knowing how to use it is more important, dogs that go all in every run may look impressive but cant keep that up for long, I have known people who have been in dogs a long time and haven't learned nothing speed is all ways the answer to these, a fast dog with a good mouth they all ways say that MIGHT be ok on bunnys but hares rarely fall for that look back at the waterloo cup one run up the field an knackered.

    only for the first 5 minuets lol a chap I used to run with never could understand how my virtual saluki's ever cought so many, and one day we had an accidental double hander and his fast bitch all ways seemed to be in the way and looked very second rate, he could not understand that either.

    what ever impresses you does not mater a dog needs both its as simple as that, a fast rabbiting dog is very exiting to watch but may have lots of runs in a session, so needs stamina for that, a coursing dog on the other hand will be having fewer runs but they will likely last longer, so he needs stamina in a different way, l like an up and at em type and clever enough to know when to apply pressure and when to hold back and use stamina, fast stupid dogs fail slow clever dogs prevail.

    back when I was a boy most of the whippet men worked their dogs as well, not many greyhound men do, and I think its that that has made the whippet a better animal.
  14. two crows
    some interesting theories, whippets always had more stamina than grey hounds that's a fact, where I grew up there was loads of whippet raceing, and if you wanted more pace in your lurchers that's what you went to, and stamina /recovery was never a problem, ok my dogs had saluki in them but I still think the whippet played a huge part, the fawn bitch was from my sal x beddy lurcher bitch to a good non ped racing whippet dog this bitch had bags of stamina and great recovery other bitch is off her to a related dog, so same way bred but not direct whippet no difference, long way to say it but I t

    the line bred coursing dogs that are common today are almost a separate dog to a straight hybrid, so do show more muscle than pure saluki, and to be honest if you could work out the percentages because of out crossing to pure sal from time to time, they must be nearly all saluki just better for here.

    The History of the Galgo Many theories exist as to the lineage of the Spanish galgo — it is a sighthound mix, possibly Irish greyhound and sloughi or deerhound. The galgo is an ancient breed, named for the Gauls, a Celtic tribe that lived in the Iberian Peninsula the sixth century BC. It is thought that the Celts, who appreciated fine hunting dogs, acquired sighthounds from the Phoenician merchants who plied the Spanish coasts. The Moors, who conquered Spain in the eighth century, may have bred African sighthounds with Spanish galgos. Most of the galgos used for hunting today are mixed wit

    I appreciate what your saying mate and variety is the spice of the lurcher world , during the 90's when coursing clubs were common there was still lads running collie crosses, greyhounds allsorts of things, but but by the end they all saw the light, you need to have some chance of success to enjoy any sport, and not all saluki lurchers are champions, far from it and brown hares don't role over easy. with regard to galgos what is there ancestry, and is the Spanish hare same as ours.
  18. two crows
    you would have to lamp them then and that would be cheating.
  19. two crows
    the problem these days there are not that many good tested saluki's about and even fewer greyhounds, sadly.

    sure did mate you know who I am pm me your number and we have a chat atb

    over the years all sorts were tried and nothing comes close, when I was running saluki lurchers in the 1970'severy one else had dearhound crosses they were ok on daytime hares but not even close to my saluki lurchers, i bred some good first crosses and as edrd says were extremely game, although I only ever hunted hare and rabbit, dogs I bred took every thing single handed and took it well.

    decent dog for a pure but only for hares, no honey badgers round our end.

    the hare while quick off the mark, has fantastic stamina and can not be classed as a sprinter, and a coursing lurcher must poses this to stand any chance of being a consistent hare catcher, the saluki is the only dog that can add the x factor, we in this country have taken a dog that was developed thousands of years ago and added it to our dogs to create (in my eyes at least) a superior animal bred for a specific purpose, I don't know when the first saluki crosses appeared, or indeed if it was done with any knowledge of what would happen, this dog was the father of my first saluki cross almost

    it would have to be some dog to pin that down with its feet ffs, and i thought ala said it was ok to eat it as long as it was your saluki that cought it.
  25. two crows
    I all ways suggest coursing types to cross to lurchers as the mix often produces, however you say your bitch is collie'fied and the pup you want is for lamping, and you already have saluki in your bitch, so stamina probably ok, then a grew be the way to go for me all day long.
