nans pat 2,575 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 ive 1 to try this year,first x beddy,grey,x squirt,[saluki lurcher]5n1/2 months now. Quote Link to post
Tozer 385 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've noticed a lot of bed/whip x saluki pups cropping up, I guess it isn't much different size wise than putting a greyhound over one. Is a saluki that much slower than a greyhound? Quote Link to post
Kellymarie Matt Draper 1 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 The saluki is not a great deal slower than a grey hound over distance its more of pacer rather than sprinter but the whippet speed is unbelievable over a hundred yards to be honest not a lot of the beddi is showing through I have seen the dame work to this pup which is a first cross beddi whippet show 20 rabbits and it will bring them back the saluki will just add size and stamina but as I say he has more saluki look I will keep you informed of he's progress and hopefully get some pictures up for you.

Kellymarie Matt Draper 1 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Sorry to keep on lol just done some quick research greyhound top speed 43mph whippet top speed 40mph saluki top speed 39mph if this helps any one Quote Link to post
paulsmithy83 567 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 The main issue i find is salukis getting branded plodders they are a fast animal but they are seen as plodders because they have such an easy stride. They look to be effortlessly trotting but in reality they are motoring. Its only when they are ran next to other x's you really see just how fast they are. I think the beddy lurcher mixed with saluki lurchers just seem to gel. 2 Quote Link to post
Westyorkshire_lad 402 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Just been reading about wooly daytime dogs and found this old post, there was some litters on this post how did the dogs turn out to be?
