gaza 508 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Will saluki crosses run rabbits close to the hedge and hit the hedge when on a run? Or are they likely to choose there runs like some collie crosses Ive had. Im thinking of putting a saluki/grey over my bull cross for a bit more stamina and pace. The only concern Ive got is the runs local are short and can be frustrating, I wont my dog to run when ever I decide to slip. Quote Link to post

Mick C. 229 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I have a salukix whippet greyhound x collie greyhound xbull greyhound Never had this breed before. The dog is only 13 month old. I work him in the daytime and on the lamp.He is also very handy when ferreting Had to lay him up for a a bit . He has cut his chest following a rabbit through the hedge full tilt. Hope this answers your query Quote Link to post
