wee gemm hunter 8 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hi chaps and chapets, I have the oppotunity to own one of the said crosses. £100.00. I need a ferreting companion. what do you think? I've owned this type of cross now for the past five years and I have no complaints, before I owned one I thought it's not the type I would fancy owning but I've been converted, I have 3 now each one completly different in nature but each one has a great mouth. I've always said, you can have the fastest dog in the world but if it's not got a good mouth then It's no good to me, and they can be a lot more than a ferreting companion, so go for it and good luck.

longdog13 36 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 do they tend to give any tongue on the chase, if started fairly young? I'm likely to go for it i think, all the comments have been really helpful . I really had no oppinion of the saluki cross. never had one, just heard the usual stories of "they are selectively deaf" only work when they want to" etc. Quote Link to post

poacher3161 1,766 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 IMHO i think a lot of lads are put of useing saluki crosses for anything else bar slipping them at sighted quarry is due to all the rubbish plummer wrote about them in his books atb dell Quote Link to post
