    most people that have problems with saluki blooded dogs don't understand there mentality and are therefore on the wrong wave length, while these dogs will perform most tasks training needs patience, and if you cant do the above get something else and avoid the headache .

    if its dog men they been lamped and hung for photo at first light to make out there day time, and someone disturbed em so they leged it.

    the old question were they better back then, well for my twopenerth I think there were better working dogs available to the lurcher breeder for breeding f1 lurchers, but I think generally stockman ship has improved and we can potentially get a bit more from our dogs fitness wise because of that, so who knows, where coursing dogs are concerned lucky was bred from the same basic bloodlines as present day dogs, but in better times with coursing being legal, so would have more running than a current dog, this does not automatically make him a better dog though.

    nice looking dog, from the photo he looks just like one of our line bred coursing dogs, our dogs are (or should be)the result of crossing best to best mostly saluki/greyhound, though there ancestors did have other blood as well, we normally only outcross now and then to good saluki blood, what are the main breeds in the stags makeup and do any outcross take place just out of interest.

    if you want a spaniel get a spaniel, cocker or springer its you choice, all the others are a novelty, its like lurchers if you want a good bidable rabbiter buy from parents like that if you want a hare dog buy a line bred hare dog, if you want bigger ore teeth buy a 243.

    fast dogs with good mouths can kill quick, I know cos ive had em, I also know that it is not long beffore they run out of steam, recovery might be ok 1 or 2 runs,then it gets tough, right so far, on the other hand some biged up dogs on the scene today get dragged round for 5 mins pluss and kill in a dyk, I have had these to, the trick is finding one that can do both as and when required, that's a proper dog, nothing in COURSING is cast in stone, I have had coursing dogs for 47 years so I haven't rushed in to making these statements, and I wont argue about it either no point, as for bull keep i

    how did you get that? money and fair words. she's got an arse on her like a Suffolk punch. a dog bred to kill hares will catch more rabbits, than a dog bred to catch rabbits will kill hares.

    adding bull only helps the bull

    lovely pups mate any one be proud to have one of them, the line bred stuff in my eyes I almost a bread in its self now, and the outcross to pure sal.is the only outcross to use it only ever ads something its never negative.

    cant believe this is still on going I have had both. my pure dog luke lamped and coursed only hare and rabbit and was a gooden.my head always says line bred. my heart says pure. whatever your view one thing is fact(and I don't mean freaks hear )if you want to course and catch hares consistently and properly at proper time of year a good dollop of saluki is vital fact.

    green lurchers my fare law comment did not condone kick ups. as said for proper coursing dogs it finds out the ones with a week ness. a proper dog often gets stronger the longer it goes on.
  16. two crows
    with regards to fare law it only realy maters with greyhounds to test speed one dog against another, a well bred coursing dog will go up steady, and hare wont change up till dog gets to him.

    kenzie used to take peter scott fowling they don't mention that when they talk about slimbridge and wildfowl conservation.

    there are people who love whippets deerhounds greyhounds and salukis(and long may this continue) all have been used to hunt the brown hare all have coursed under rules all have been crossed with one another in our attempt to get a better dog for running and catching hares single handed, but the fact is the mixing of saluki and greyhound blood is the best way of going about it. and then bread best to best there is no argument the facts are in front of us. all the arguing in the world wont change facts. the modern line bred coursing dog refined in England cannot be bettered for coursing and cat

    in the early 70s my dogs were saluki cross beddy grey and used mainly for coursing and some mouching / ferreting it was not till the late 70s that I started lamping and found sal crosses plenty good enough and you still have a dog for day time big rabbits most of the negativity about this cross was spawned by plummer and died with him . back then all the rabbiters would of died rather than use saluki blood how times have changed.

    one old mate of mine had a bloke come to his house and accused him of spying on his wife, she said he kept driving his tractor past the kitchen window, my mate said you stupid c**t I was ploughing the f***ing field. another farmer mate had a new towney bloke moaning that when they bought their house all the fields were nice and green, and now we have moved in there all brown and muddy. they know nothing carry on and say nowt. atb two crows.

    litter wastage is a horrible term, so it is important if breeding first crosses where the parents come from either end of the spectrum (IE collie x greyhound) to be prepared to match owners with individual pups, I know we don't live in an ideal world but if we breed we are responsible. I am glad I am a sight hound man but you still have to be care full dog swappers abound in all walks of the lurcher game and good pups are often turned into wastage by bad dog men. I wonder how many dogs the good dog men get through beffor you see the superstar ?. ATB two crows.

    your right there phil, and nobody produced more wastage than him trying to reinvent the wheel, atb two crows.
