salukis after a hunt persia gulf .orange on there legs is henna to harden the pads and used as a natural antiseptic and cooling agent !!

[snoopdog 1,256]

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

The bitch in the photo goes back to Gaskin's Ice i am lead to believe. I once saw her do a 5/5 in fine style on land both big and hedgey. A bitch that is an Ace in cover and well able to spin them up and finish them given half the chance. The "easy" long-ears are just that, but if a good one comes along then the bitch has plenty in the tank to see what minerals her quarry has....

 

She is a credit to her owner for sure.

thats looks the nuts what a corker remindes me of a book cover

 

I think his sire's litter brother is in said book

[Meerihunter 7]

sorry but just my opinion that was crap all them dogs barking there heads of useing the jeep to slow it up and turn it not the best even if they were young dogs was some barking though

 

The dogs are barking because they were seeing others getting out to run the Gazelle and they were not hence understandable frustration on their part, I'm assuming yours would just lay down and go to sleep with out a even a sqeak from them lol. Nowhere are they using the jeeps to slow the Gazelle down, why would want to do that? They want to test their dogs so the blasting the horn etc is to try to get the Gazelle to run faster.

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

 

I appreciate your enthusiasm towards the breed and I agree it has good attributes to give to the world of hunting but(you knew it was coming) if you believe it will take over the greyhound as top cross I'm afraid your sadly mistaking. I'm interested in what you say about breeding the ultimate saluki hybrid and who knows, this might be the answer but it wont be in our lifetime mate.

Its ma baw.

I'm sorry but i don't know what pinky brain is.

If you don't know much about the saluki hybrid or the world of coursing then i suppose you won't have seen what is happening. This is nothing to do with lining anyones pockets. Its not one person. Its evolution.Anyway, good hunting....

If you don't think it will line pockets mate then your being very nieve. Pinky and the brain are 2 laboratory mice who every night, plan to take over the world. Kids cartoon and yes, I am very childish. For as long as I can remember, we have all heard about these super dogs from the coursing world and correct me if I'm wrong, anytime a thread starts on here, its always talking about some retired or dead super dog of the past. So, with that reckoning, the dogs can't be improving much if no one is talking about them or is it the old case of the longer ago the chase, the longer the chase was..........
