    Oh dear. Something we have all had dogs fall victim to at one time or another l think, hope yours makes a speedy recovery

    Not a poem, just a short story l found somewhere and like : Since the days when the old gods still walked the earth, there have been Greyhounds. Even in those early days, they lived with men, and joined them on the hunt. They took delight in chasing the creatures of the field, the squirrels, the deer, and the hares, oh, especially the hares. Greyhounds and rabbits of all kinds have been adversaries since they were created, for the Greyhound was created to chase the hare, and the hare was created to run from the Greyhound. Greyhounds have always loved to run, and in those early days

    After l'd been out lamping, walking back along the canal with the dog, shined my torch on a pile of old clothes floating a few feet from bank- then saw all this long, straggly grey hair and realised it was dead old woman face down in the water. Bit of a shock to put it mildly

    Not a brilliant pic, had to take on phone, my Saluki x bitch doing her 'rabbit dance' today, cuz she smells them undergrown (lots of burrows in this embankment Makes me laugh anyway. The dance dosent work though, l've tried it myself, farmer says l'm on my last warning (for the dancing thing) and next time he sees me doing it, he's getting the police involved lol

    A lurcher of my dads, as he recounted the story to me, once grabbed and plucked a ladies off lead toy poodle. he let it go without hurting it, just bald as a coot. I know a guy who trained his dogs with a white bag 'lure' on a lure machine, he claims they will attack small white dogs, not sure if this is true.

    This guy. We've all heard of the 'runt' of the litter, this lad is the C**t of the litter. He has a lovely nature but he's thick as a brick, screams like he is being murdered over every little incident like having his lead put on, getting jostled by another dog, being out in the dark, being out in the rain, scared of his own shadow but... l've only just got him, he's only five months old and he has redeeming qualities, so there is hope ... I also once had a saluki bitch who was a brilliant daytime dog, rabbits, pheasents, she could catch wood pigeons if they flew too low over he

    My brother has a lab x lurcher, she was never a very bright prospect as a working dog, then at 12 months old developed a genetic thing called 'collapsing lab syndrome', which is pretty much just that, if she gets over excited she falls over and looses all co-ordination for about 5 minutes. lt dosent happen very often but it's unpleasant to watch and renders her useless as a working dog. l'd personally avoid anything with a high lab content.

    HI HO SILVER AWAY......!

    lovely looking dog.

    Lovely looking little pup, looks loads younger than six months to me, but if she is malnourished and full of worms, she will look that way. Best of luck with her matey

    It could be Paradoxical chest movement, indicative of lung damage, could be broken ribs, your dog needs VET ASAP

    I had this problem with my young saluki mix, l know this prob. isn't helpful, but she actually outgrew it totally by 12 months old and is good as gold now. ln the meantime, when she ran from me, l ignored her, turned my back on her, walked away, she soon tired of the 'game' and followed me. Hope this helps

    yeah it's prob 'snow nose', it's just pigment changes, nothing to worry about. l know what guys mean re dogs burying bones, but l'd guess pigment changes from what you've described either way is harmless to dog anyway

    stunning dogs. l love saluki xs

    My pure saluki dog is very aggressive to other male dogs, for no reason, to the point that he can't be off lead in a public place, there was no trigger, he was never hurt or attacked, he was really meek 'till one day he randomly jumped a three foot field fence to attack two on-lead bully type dogs who hadn't even looked at him. l was horrified it can def. be a 'Male Saluki' trait.

    LOL Brill pics. Reminded me of when my rabbiting lurcher once caught a pheasant in long grass, then had no idea what to do with it. every time l got closer she would run a bit further off, plucking as she went, she finally released it, it flew away but looking half 'oven ready' , lucky for the par-bald bird it was summer

    Good luck with the dog. I assume you saw his Sire/Dam, so that should give you an idea of how tall he is likely to get. As to how he will run, that, in my limited experience, depends largely on your input and training, though of course some dogs will not perform well regardless of the training they receive, these are the rare exception rather than the rule. lt isn't a car, or a factory produced machine, so your question '' ...what do they run like?...'', whilst well meaning is somewhat redundant, he is a living thinking creature, not the sum of his genetic make-up, he has the drive to
