rabbit tourmentor 29 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 saluki x whippets was just wondering does anyone have these first crosses? are they any good for long ears any pictures Quote Link to post
the great white hunter 1 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 been telt they suppose to be good for long ears but never seen a first cross my mates gone to have a look at a litter of first cross saluki whippet 2nyt Quote Link to post
coursing_lad 45 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 a lad on here just bred a litter a whippet bitch to a kc saluki dog , Quote Link to post
Lennard 10 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 It would be a cross that I might want to own when my old bitch dies. I can see both breeds adding nice elements to the mix. Or 3/4 whip saluki...small and explosive hound with a little desert style to it. Quote Link to post
rabbit tourmentor 29 Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 yeah i suppose they would be good on the turn with enough height from the saluk anyone got any pictures? Quote Link to post

chartpolski 23,478 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've allways thought that the Greyhound should be at least half of the Lurchers forebear, but I would love to see a Saluki X Whippet....... Back in the 60's, 70's, the owner of the greatest racing whippet, in my mind; Bilko; said he would have loved to see his his dog mated with a Saluki ! Cheers. Quote Link to post
riohog 5,701 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 very interesting cross never seen a genuine first cross work they should do well puttting a bit more wind into the whippet will do no harm Quote Link to post
rabbit tourmentor 29 Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 yes but thinking about it it should be a bigger dog when mated to the saluki ive always been told that 23 upwards is a good coursing height Quote Link to post
riohog 5,701 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 yes but thinking about it it should be a bigger dog when mated to the saluki ive always been told that 23 upwards is a good coursing height why 20 ins whippet x25 26 ins saluki i would think pups would be 23 or 24 ins Quote Link to post

Do you have anymore info on Bilco, Was he a Ped or Non Ped Whippet ? I have looked on Archive Whippets and cant find him , Im bringing on a young Whippet very pleased with him on the track and out in the field, His breeding is racing lines and coursing,His sire was the last pre ban champ, In the coursing season 2004/05 he ran 20 courses under rules and won 17. He is 20 inchs at the shoulder & 14.51 kg,,,31.99 pounds. I recon such a alliance with the right dogs would compliment and produce some decent dogs. IF anyones got any info that would be great.
