The saluki is nothing more than another cross to be put over the mighty greyhound. It's true and no matter how much it irritates you, its still the truth....

J Darcy 5,871 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 quality pitures riohog still considering my options on saluki blood the Mrs is convinced which is handy but ive got to get this beddy whip sorted before expanding the pack saluki blood all the way mate wouldnt get another lurcher unless it had at least half saluki in it they always seem 2 amaze me in the field. what would the other half be collie?? (because people say salukis lack intelegence/obiedence)? pmsl they are clever enough to catch those gazzell , and definatly no collie in them !! fair comment but there are no livestock to distract them no roads to stop them running into and no real chance they are going to retrive a gazzell live to hand i was more contemplating collie blood to make my training easier as i am not an old hand? By that statement do you think that saluki hybrids are unsafe with stock, disobediant and can't retrieve? I have a little 1/4 saluki dog in my kennel that you couldn't get to chase sheep even if you wanted him to. He is as obedient as i need him to be and retrieves as good as any man could wish. Choose a dog to suit your quarry and please don't think that by getting a collie cross you'll end up with a field trial champion. I have seen lots of collie crosses that were not worth a light. Getting a good dog is just about 50/50 in my mind, 50% dog, 50% owner. If the dog is poor then no owner can make it into a good one, likewise, if the owner is poor then he will never get the full potential out of a dog. You can't polish a turd. I have heard the commmon stereotypes for years, and perhaps the early sal hybrids were a bit flighty, but maybe, just maybe, this was down to them being passed around.? In my opinion the saluki hybrid doesn't lend itself to being passed from pillar to post, and they can be a one man dog in many instances. As you have no-doubt guessed, i am a great fan of the saluki composite, and IMO it is the saluki that adds tractibility and toughness to the greyhound....The greyhound blood is in the mix for one thing, and one thing only.... Happy Hunting ..JD Good read but I disagree with a couple of your points.... I don't think the mix is 50/50 I reckon its more 75/25 towards the dog cos I know a lot of thick c**ts who treat their dogs appalingly(never a word) and they still do well. Also you reckon the greyhound is only in the mix for one reason, again I disagree. You underestimate the greyhound as a noble hunter in its own right. Just like the saluki it has been around for many a year and will be used for hunting long after the "fashionable" saluki fades away. The saluki is used for one reason in my view and that is stamina.... As little as needed is the general rule of thumb.... What you reckon.... 1/4 saluki? Second cross? Well, Its ma baw, those are your opinions and you're entitled to them. I still honestly think that to get the full package you must have 50/50 participation from both parties.But thats jmo. The addition of greyound blood is, in my eyes, for speed alone, with perhaps size too if breeding to a smaller breed. Saluki's add great feet as well as general toughness. They are loyal to their master and i firmly believe have an inbued hunting instinct. The saluki won't fade away as there are far too many exponents of their qualities and they , to me, are the ultimate freezer fillers. I was on the phone the other day to a dear friend of mine and we were chatting about dogs There's quite a few running dogs that have'nt had a greyhound injection for a number of generations and they seem to be throwing good stock. Furthermore i wouldn't mind betting that before too long a "strain" develops and that more and more a type of running dog appears that is white or cream, dropped lugs, smooth coat and is a result of many generation breeding best to best of saluki hybrids. Time will tell eh?... Happy hunting JD Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Yes Arctic Gun, just like that one. A pictures worth a thousand words and that sure looks a tidy hound. They are becoming more and more common and i truely hope that the boys with the long term welfare of the true coursing hound at heart will put any differences aside and breed best to best. It will be interesting to see where we all are in 10 years time. One day i would maybe like to get one ....... One as good as this one would be a dream..... But we can all dream i guess...... Good Hunting guys.....JD Quote Link to post
