riohog 5,714 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 The two brothers web sites http://www.iran-saluki.de/ http://www.voniransamin.de/dfs.htm i can make no comment about ..cyrus sattarzadeh as i have never been involved with him or met him .the kennels are totaly two seperate entertise ...no conection at all I think anyone can see they are two separate kennels, The connection is their brothers and I'm sure they have had the same dogs in some of their breeding, may be wrong I'm sure you will tell me iraj would not breed off cyrus,s dogs although he may have owned some of cyrus,s stuff through ..mamnounas Quote Link to post
stroller 341 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Heres my lads 1st cross salukix grey beautiful dog and he can catch if you give him two days notice and several hectares to run his quarry into a standstill. i personally love this dog to bits but he is the last one of his breed we will have i dont rate them going on the performance of him and others like him. Im sure the saluki snobs will shoot me down but they are quite a moronic breed. my next door neighbour has 3 pure bred dogs and they are loopy. i have experience of some of the arabic breeding (i lived in the middle east for a while) and they are as equally numb. but then again i have seen dogs that were exceptional but not consistent and for me thats what they lack some days they just cant be arsed wether its because their toast was buttered on both sides or the wind direction makes them look bad god knows or maybe i havent mastered the art of saluki training. Waste of time buy a gun and shoot your hares you will still have to pick them up yourself. If you want to pay a fortune for imported blood lines then thats your business and i dont demean your efforts or commitment to a stunning breed but for the normal bloke ferreting or lamping rabbits and doing legal work these days are they a practical solution?

arcticgun 4,548 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Regarding saluki being plodders and needing acres of open fen to kill hares by running them dead, K&P Cruise of Shildon was entered and continued to run shortfield hares showing good early pace, on land that is a nightmare to run fences, livestock, hedges, quarry, woods, the usual stuff coursing events strive to aviod, and did very well at it as well, not only hare either slow ploddy type dogs who are shy of getting stuck in don't kill here, but that was then (pre ban). What amazes me is what I used to think of as pure saluki has changed a lot since owning them, amazes me how much cross bred coursing dogs look like saluki, Tazi, Slougi,type saluki, they have developed feathered type same as pures from some regions, and also smooth coated type, again as pures have in certain lines and regions, looks to me like we have Uk saluki as well, by default, the coursing lines are that saturated with saluki. The imports are a brave calculated move to better working saluki and that can only be positive in the long run, especially in the current hostile enviroment reagarding the ban, there is quality saluki in exsisting uk lines that much is obvious a little homework when looking to buy avoids disappointment The amount of people using saluki as all purpose lurchers is also encouraging, these lads had the money to buy any x they wanted, but chose saluki don't hear many of them complaining i think if the law had not stopped the likes of the forley cup eventually a pure would have won atvb Richard Quote Link to post

I have spent a lot of time working with him and observing his fitness and mindset,all that said attempting multiple runs would have been stupidity, at least now I know where Im at with him imho KizzyP gear are as fast as any lurcher if entered correctly, hopefully the outcross will add a little something else to the mix atvb Richard Quote Link to post

mush 204 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have actually SEEN both these strains run,not just read their names from a KC reg (often inaccurate ) and,as usual, the truth lies somewhere in the middle :yes The best salukis that I've personally seen have been a combination of the smooth cream Tepe Gawra derived dogs put to FASTER,(yes faster Mush)Kizzy/Pharaoh stuff: we have gone over this before you repeating your self over and over again don't make it fact, if we was talking about the match dogs run on the fens and what did what and their breeding you would talk me under the table I'm sure, but not on salukis. Ive seen plenty of salukis bred from k/P lines run and a hell of a lot of other salukis run from many different lines, and their not the fastest by a long way there have been good fast salukis bred off the strain and there will be again but with the number bred of the line each year there should be one or two good ones, but there is more rubbish. the best were bred off k/P themselves. I was on Boozers do on March fen, when Wilbur brought Star and her black and tan sister out of Fred (son of Mick Taylor's Fred...Pharaoh ). He slipped them doubled up (as they were only eleven months old at the time) this was always a big day with some very experienced dog men there, and to a man we couldn't believe how fast these little bitches were Anyone who has ACTUALLY seen the K x P run for the first time is genuinely impressed with how quick they are after some of the rubbish written by theorists like Plummer et al The saluki coursing club didn't like the Mick Taylor stuff and rubbished it, come to think of they didn't much like Durak............ from all accounts an incredible dog, but didn't conform their pretty show standard. you mean the SGHC didn't like his stuff, but then they don't like anything thats not bred by them do they. He was put to a bitch bred out of a Knightelligton dog(the only time he was used that i know of,travesty! ) to produce Faraah.: Who was? durak was used more than one time cant remember a Knightelligton one tho. faraah was used only two times that i know of. Vance P used Faraah over his K X P bitch to combine the speed and style of that strain with the strength and outright stay of the TG stuff. So what your saying is Vance put his bitch to a slower dog than what his bitch was LOL, think he was smarter than that. Quote Link to post
mush 204 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Riohog i have followed some of your threads and they show an enormous depth and range of knowledge and your red dog is a stunning animal, equally so i will wait with interest to see how your pup does, not with the view to knocking yours or its efforts. your a true dog man and there are few enough of them about even on sites like this. Thanks for the respect shown to my opinion.In return you have mine Funny how he didn't jump all over you like he did with another poster when you put a picture up of a feathered first cross but riohog is wright you dont get them Quote Link to post

stroller 341 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 you could be right mate i dont know much about genetics or this dogs breeding its my sons dog and it suits him, but it isnt for me. but ive seen more mediocre collie xs do better than some of the best salukis. but my sport isnt hares on big fields. Give this dog his due he does mark warrens and he is a good sporting companion and he can jump over the moon, he walks to heel sits and stays on command and is a briliant dog in the house. but he hasnt got that consistency of a true grafter if that makes sense Quote Link to post
