In Boxers an outcross was made only in the 90's to a Pembroke corgi in order to incorporate the gene for bobtails and already the descendants of these are competing in K.C. shows with pure Boxers.

It just shows how a gene for a single trait can remain when the original dog that introduced it has been long gone. The coat type is incidental to how the dog performs.

So long as it is sheared at the start of the season it won't overheat the dog, but the running style, stamina, feet, pace and inate coursing ability must surely come from the main blood which is saluki!
