DogMagic 461 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Does it have to be feathered????!! If so, why? As feed the bear points out it aint what it has at the tips of its ears that makes it a good dog, rather what it has BETWEEN its ears. Quote Link to post

As feed the bear points out it aint what it has at the tips of its ears that makes it a good dog, rather what it has BETWEEN its ears. This is the reason why most saluki guys are taken as a joke..... there is several reasons why he wants feathers on his dog...... 1) will win more rosettes..... 2) more photogenic..... 3) Get more for the pups..... 4) get stud fees from good looking dog.... The way I look at it, its like fishing. You go into a fishing shop and most lures, flies, etc, are there to attract the fisherman rather than the fish. You'll catch fish with a hook and an earth worm.... FACT. Same with lurchers, feathers are their to attract folk rather than to add anything to the dog. The most ugliest dog on the planet will catch quarry if its proprotioned right and has the right mentality. Quote Link to post
