[adamb20 22]

what benefits would a saluki give to a pack, mainly hunting medium sized fields and woodland.? cheers.

A bit of a waste of that type of dog imho the reason i never botherd with one despite being offerd a pure saluki bitch meny years ago.Dont get me wrong no doubt they will adapt from a pup to the ground you hunt as they are a bit more versatile than people give them credit for.atb dell

Don't be put of by old misconceptions mate I run mine on shortfields, hills, quarries , woods, large fields, once on fen and he can and will do the job anywhere, Im not saying he is a world beater, in fact he is far from it and still only very young, they tend to mature later than most typs of dog do, but even at 15 month if he dont make the cut coursing single handed, he will make a very good allround lurcher.

 

I honestly think to get the very best out of them you have to understand the breed itself, be prepared to look outside the box training wise and have a great deal of patience,likesay not everyones cup of tea but if you click with em they make a great lurcher and a loyal companion. A good few lads are currently grafting pures and not only in the coursing game, some to a great degree of sucess.

 

On the plus side of em, you have endless stamina, best feet in the buisness, thousands of years of selective breeding which remains largely unspoiled, top class prey drive, very easy to condition as well

 

As said above not everyones cup of tea for sure, but if you want to try summat different....why not

Now, before the Saluki guys give me hell; I've owned and run pure Salukis in their own enviroment, and I love them !! BUT, a pure Saluki will add nothing to a "pack" here in ther UK ! Salukis have added to the coursing blood, where now, Saluki Hybrids are virtualy unbeatable on the coursing field, and saluki blood is even being dded to lamping dogs, for the obvious stamina and good feet that they add. Nothing wrong with people having pure Salukis, they do a job, and I will probably have another one; but to answer the question..it's probably not the wisest move to add one to a "bobbery" pack.

 

Cheers.

lmao my breed blindness made me overlook the pack aspoect the original poster mentions I run mine with a mixed pack containing a Beddy x, two saluki lurchers and a terrier,on occaision they also get ran out with saluki lurcher x GWP, GWP, Collie lurchers, he (the saluki) gets well stuck in with the rest hunting up etc, bit possesive on kills and wanton to take other dogs kills away , at the end of the day dogs are pack animals, its mankinds intervention that turns em to the singles game not saying they are the best team player, but they could play a part in a pack I reckon but thats just my opinion for what thats worth

Not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me ! But, as I said, I'm a great supporter of Salukis, but wouldn't advise anyone to have one as part of a "pack" !

see no advantage in having them as part of a pack , they are free thinking , and possesive .

 

run them on there own , they are more than capable

Karlsberg,I'll agree with you, BUT, where would the Coursing Dog be without people bringing in fresh Saluki blood ?

There are still some that get worked hard, I've seen them in the M.E., Pakistan and North Africa. Hamed in Abu Dhabi breeds and works some top Salukis, I've seen them, (and tryed to get a bitch off him ! LOL !).
