saluki greyhound for me they will most probs take all quarry with ease just my opinion for what ive seen these dogs do

Well having had a few xs in the last 25 years,=bullxs,colliexs, bitzas,none ped whippet. As i hunt for the pot fur+feather,and the odd red coat. I would say colliexgreyx salukixgrey, with a bit of luck still got the brain with speed+stamina if it came out right.??. Got a 1x colliexgrey now, good rabbit dog. But i think the other x , might make a [better] alrounder.??

Yes bull crosses i would not touch one with a barge pole though i have to admit i have never had one from a pup but have had the misfortune to look after two adult crosses as a favour to their owners NEVER AGAIN its a long story

but you are giving an oppinion on a type you have not had,only looked after,i wonder how many more anti bull x are giving the same reasons,although never worked one brought on from a pup,sounds like your just jumping on the band wagon,or have i got it wrong mate

i like the greyhound x deerhound had a saluki / grey x grey / whippet a few years ago, he was reluctant to strike and yapped like mad when ever he was on a run, i was told by a guy that is regarded as a well educated doggy man that the yapping and reluctance to strike was the "saluki" in him, since then i have never looked at the saluki x, until now......... my new pup has a touch of saluki in him, i have read lots about the saluki though and they seem to have endless stamina which is greatwho knows i may change my views and my mind in a few years about them but right now, for me, its got to be the greyhound x deerhound.

for all the guys that own and run the saluki cross, i am not in any way putting these dogs down or disrespecting them in any way so lets not argue over this post

cheers

Yes you have got it wrong as i have also seen some good bull crosses one being the well known punch.Its just that they are not my type of dog for hunting edible quarry if on the other hand i wanted a lurcher for quarry that bit back they would be no other choice than a lurcher with bull in its breeding.atb dell

Kind of new to the hunting game only been doing it 4 years so had terriers and ferrets for the first couple of years but just under 2 years ago i was given a collie x grey and it being my first running dog i made a couple of mistakes with him but hes very loyal and not 2 yet so looking foward to seeing him in his prime

Mainly got him for ferreting as i go every sunday but strangely he didnt take a liking to it but is excellent on the lamp

After a long discusion with the lads and my dad about what a want a dog to do for me they talked me out of getting a fox lurcher as i needed a bit more experience so i chose a whippet for ferreting & filling the pot, shes only 5 months old now so should start showing signs next year

Same thats why my uncle got him for me but he tends to drift away from the ditch wanting the rabbit to bolt across the field so when the rabbits bolt and stay close to the ditch he doesnt give much chase !

 

But hes 110% lamping
