cocker 2,654 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 the saluki does the bushing, the goshawk does the killing, the saluki must keep a small distance away from the kill otherwise he will get seriously nailed in the face, the gos is a big finnish male weighing 2lb 1oz he is imprinted on me and the dog and has no fear, the bird is very possessive and could be pretty dangerous, whilst on the kill, but this dog is not possesive, and will gladly lay near the gos while the gos plucks the pheasant, later on this year, the saluki will push hares out of cover, and box them off while the gos due to its power speed and flying skill will hopefully be up front right on the hare, and connect to the hares head and hopefully kill it, hares can kick a goshawk off easily if the gos doesnt know its job, the dog must not make into the kill but just lie near the gos while it eats some of the hare, theres a lot more to it than this but basicly and keeping a long story short, thats the idea Quote Link to post
