yorkshirelad2 24 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hi guys an gals. Getting a new pup end of next month (fingers crossed), had running dogs before long time ago now 4-5 years back. Was really thinking about getting a pure saluki my first dog was a saluki grey then had a bull grey. Wanting a dog for stamina and good staying power some big rabbits round us :whistling: if you get what i mean. I have heard off some people to stay well clear too hard to train ect ect. Just wanted to know other peoples thoughts and your experiances of owning a dog like this. Cheers for any help you can give me as i"m in to minds what to get. Quote Link to post

rapidjenky 97 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 i got my self a saluki pup here with just a dash of collie and a dash of whippet in her. she aint stupid at all. 13 ish weeks, sits and stays, near enough house trained, go gets in her cage when i tell her to go to bed, knows how to push my buttons!, just say starting to retrieve. im not pushing her at all, done very little work with her. i would think theres dogs of ever breed who will be hard work to train, my bull is the most intelligent dog ive ever ever had but you have to use an iron fist with him! the saluki the more im nice to her the more she rewards me. heres my little girl.

yorkshirelad2 24 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Cheers for the info guys. That dog of rapidjenky is a pearler looks the dogs bollocks to me. That would be an ideal dog for me i would say wi that dash of collie in her prob easier to train??? Not gonna rush out and buy the 1st dog i see, but recon if theres any of them types going would snap one up. Quote Link to post
Richie10 345 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Don't need the Collie to train them, they just need to have a good bond with you. Quote Link to post
KenKeeping 13 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Well, I took on the responsibility of a pure Sal in october last year! First dog Iv'e taken on since I was a kid! He is, I must admit, a bit of a handfull for a new dog handler, as far as listening is concerned, but treat them well, dont be rash with them, NEVER HIT THEM!! They hold grudges. Gain their trust from an early age and dont let them down. A pure Sal will become a dog to be proud of! He or She, will stay on the job as long and probably longer than any others, as long as you get them fit! Dont overdoe it too quick at first. Watch their legs, they are spindly, and they got a tendancy to damage themselves as they are more interested in what they are chasing than whats under them. They were bred as hunting dogs for the desert and dunes, so well suited if you got soft ground to cover. Gradients are no problem, Aladdin proved that to me many a time. As you know, Sal/Grey X is a good cross, but I think some people rather a cross with a non long dog, such as a collie etc, for the brain part. I might be, and probably am, wrong! But thats what iv'e been led to belive! Dont dismiss the Pur Sal altogether mind! I wouldnt do without Aladdin now. We are both learning together! Quote Link to post
KenKeeping 13 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 heres my little girl. This is one hell of a pretty dog! Hope your proud to have her to train on? Lovely colouring too! Quote Link to post
fieldmarshall 13 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I've got a pure bred saluk bitch who is just coming up to 7 months she's had a few bunnies I had her out today walking about while I was flushing with a few of the lads and took to it like a duck to water. I had heard a lot of mixed storys about pure salukis so I thought I'd try them for myself and to be fair the only thing I can complain about is she's a bit timred but she's getting better every day. So I'd have no worries about a pure bred saluki again going of what I've experienced so far. I know where there's a litter of pure bred salukis all kc registered who are 7 weeks so if you are interested pm me and I'll pass your number on the the lad Quote Link to post
