If you have the time and the patience and put the work in required you should be able to train it to a reasonable standard.Because the pups a x it will have hybrid vigour which should will make it easier to train,

Don't forget that a lot of Saluki types are slow to mature both mentally and physically: they often don't respond to formal obedience training like a Collie type would. You may need to think outside the box to keep the pup's interest and focus on you. They are very prey driven so there may come a time when your pup learns that there is more fun to be had hunting than obeying you: if you say 'jump' to a Collie type, they say 'how high? If you say 'jump' to a Saluki type they are more likely to say 'WHY?' Obviously that's not the case with all the Saluki types, but they often don't do what you tell them because they have something more important to do. You have to work with them and get them to see that by being with you they'll have the most fun. I always take my Saluki types ferreting from an early age: 4-5 months, just for an hour at a time: they soon cotton on to the game and even ferreting will stand them in good stead later on as they'll have learned their way round cover, obstacles etc, and see you as the provider of a hunt. If you let them do as they please when they're young they'll soon find their own hunting which doesn't involve listening to you!

I've got a saluki collie grey, its my first lurcher and the first dog I've owned. The training is coming on really well, he can be a bit stubborn at times but I mainly put it down to his age. Seeing as this is the first dog I've ever trained and its going well (touch wood) it can't be too hard. But then again he does have collie in him although its not very much.
