How many of you.........

[Irish Lurcher 1,013]

How many of you saluki men run dogs with no saluki in them, or do just you prefer to stick to just the pure saluki, vise versa, how many lurcher men who run the standard cross would convert over to running pure saluki. Have to say that I am your bog standard Collie X man and could never see me jumping the fence.

not bin funny to them who keep salukies but i couldnt entertain 1 as i have seen a few just course there pray and have no itention of catching it and they tend to not listen the oes i have seen work each to there own

i have one with both saluki and collie in a pup mind.

 

 

but to be honest its this exact reason why theres so many arguments on here, most lurcher lads are so set in there ways, they read somthing , or see one or two dogs of a certain type that dont perform, and they think there all like this. NAROWMINDED is a word that comes to mind.

 

look at the thread about the malamute cross, lads are arguing and saying they cant do this or that, but have never seen one work

 

LURCHERMEN ARE NOT OPEN MINDED ENOUGH .

Hi TOMO

 

Had one and it drove me to drink, I think you have to have a certain mentality to own such a breed, would you not agree, I dont think I am cut out to run such a breed, I am very impatient person, would I be correct in saying one needs patient to bring such a breed on??

i was wrighting my above post whilst rebel posted, but his post highlights what i have said

 

i have a line bred coursing dog, with a good chunk of saluki in it rebel, she has got in to the top 30's lamping on small paddocks , took hare when it was legal (8 year old)

will sit on hand signal, jump retrive like a lab, evrything you would expect from most lurchers,

How was she as a pup and young bitch Tomo? Was she easy to train, or did she drive you nuts till she matured?

 

Frank.

 

 

SHE was easier to train than the kelpie cross very liad back , she seemed to just take in any command, i tought her to sit in 5 mins flat

Saluki only good for 1 thing...... watch city slickers to find out what it is...

[artic 595]

I started with a collie/grey, good bitch, good lamping dog, and she was great at catching feather, however early retirement at 7yrs old. Then I sold my home and moved to a different location. With that, the ground was totally different, and more choice of game on the menu.

 

I got introduced to saluki and deerhound crosses and have stuck with them for the last 15yrs. That's not a long time considereing your dog can live up to 10yrs plus, and those who truely work their dogs know that there's a good chance that the working life of a lurcher can be short for many reasons.

 

There's so many types around, I'm not going to talk down about certain types, just be happy with what you've got.
