jigsaw 11,863 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 heres my bitch,Samara.Shes just come to 16 months old and I gave her a few runs the end of this season,shes caught 2 but next year I'll run her proper.I have no idea how good or poor she is as Ive nothing to compare her to.All I do know is she put a few hares under real pressure and I enjoyed her running as did my young son.He is now asking for either a pure Saluki or a first cross for his birthday present in May,if theres any litters coming up in the future I would be interested to hear about them.I intend to do a lot of hares next season.

chartpolski 23,303 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Had this old boy when I lived in the Middle East; got him given at 6 month and had him PTS at 17 years old. Pure bred Beduin Saluki; he would have added some decent blood to the UK stock, but unfortunately I never had the chance to import him; Still toying with the idea of bringing one in from Saudi, or the U.A.E.
