Mickey Finn 3,011 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Sorry, this is slightly off topic but... I wonder why so many of you guys want saluki blood in this hypothetical dog. I always understood saluki's to come into their own over distance. Isn't this true? For a short chase in a small field. Whats the advantage of saluki blood? ATB Quote Link to post

Stabs 3 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've got bugger all experience of Saluki blooded dogs, but does the legendary stamina in these dogs which shows in their runs over distance on big land, lend itself to stamina in terms of a quicker recovery rate - so more runs in the dog than a non-Saluki blooded dog? Surely that would be benficial even for small fields? The coursing I do is scrub and school fields and we do a lot better with my mongrels in the scrub Quote Link to post

poacher3161 1,766 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Dont be decieved by the saluki hybrids running style as those that have been brought up running in small feilds imho can adapt their running to catch in small feilds.atb dell Quote Link to post
jimlampit 7 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 i have a 4 gen saluki grey that can cut the musturd in small feilds but only cos that what he was raised on, the rest of the litter run the fen and other big land but are crap in smaller feilds, my dog has been tried and tested on larger land and coped very well he ran as he always does, but if i was to breed a dog it would be smaller somthing like a collie,whippet,grey to a saluki,whippet,grey and would breed from a couple of smaller dogs 23" and no bigger as then you could get your speed very fast off the mark and small enough and nimble enough to cope with the smal space, my friend runs his lamper on the smaller feilds daylight and does the job just fine and thats a heinz 57 bitza with a rough coat and 25".. that came from years of lurcher to lurchere breeding so i think good strong hardcore lampers will cope with the daylight in smaller fields so you could breed a good lamper with wat ever dogs doing the job in your airea and i reckon you could get some crackers Quote Link to post

I call good lamping types lurcher to lurcher bred dogs some times smallish dogs that benefit from the injection of good saluki hybreds.I E some one might have a collie hybred thats good in the lamp and has a good strike but just is that bit lacking for daytime so breeds it to a good daytime dog and if lucks on your side it can produce dogs wat we call the allrounder Quote Link to post
adamb20 22 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Dogs bred for lamping and good at their job Quote Link to post
adamb20 22 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 That's like my beddy whippet collie grey that dell just described, good on lamp and good mooching dog but lacks that bit pace and height for daytime coursing. Quote Link to post
