coursing_lad 45 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 could always use just a well bred coursing dog , the added greyhound will throw some new blood into the mix , i think this as been done previously with a known coursing bitch to a greyhound dog . i think , im sure someone mentioned it to me not so long back , as for pures , its all cruise line , thats all you hear about . praise to the people trying to import some new blood into the country from abroad .

poacher3161 1,766 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I cant see the point in breeding first crosses [bANNED TEXT] theirs loads of tried and tested strains of saluki hybreds out their being bred.Its only my opinion but [bANNED TEXT] these type of dogs are bred all the greyhound puts into them is more speed to the detriment of everything else.Over the years i have bred 3 litters of good greyhound bitches to saluki type dogs and found this to be the case.atb dell Quote Link to post
coursing mad 5 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 put a saluki grey back to her that way the pups will most probs be racey type salukis & take the big fellas with ease Quote Link to post

Meerihunter 7 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 IMO any more than half greyhound and you are just asking for trouble (ie injuries) unless you are solely running grass parks or extremely good ground. If a 3/4 grey ends up in woods "tracking deer" it's only a matter of time it come a cropper. Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 mate bred dogs for years for the old flushng and tracking game on roe for over 18 years , got scores of pics and letters of guys who bought them , if you are going to use a greyhound test it first on game if you are not happy with it dont breed of it same with saluki see something thta floats your boat i did and got a tydy line of dogs now ,took a while tho, better than either saluki or greyhound for game and have feet like soup plates , had genuine first crosses out of tor of dartmoor and dogs out of cruise lines and bregawn many years ago but shaped them for the game , have fun pm me if you want good advise ,best dogs ive had and saw were not just greyhound to a saluk even tho they were good Quote Link to post
