optimus 447 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) YEARS AGO WE WERE SPOONFED HYPE THAT HALF X`s WERE THE ULTIMATE HARE DOGS WITH STAMINA TO SPARE. FACT IS THAT MANY HALF CROSSES ARE PACY ANIMALS & DONT HAVE THE STAMINA TO RUN ALL DAY. PEOPLE BEGAN TO REALISE THIS WHEN THE COURSING SCENE BECAME PUBLIC IN THE 90`s WITH VIDEOS & MORE ACCURATE WRITERS ON THE SUBJECT IN EARTH DOG RUNNING DOG ETC. HERE IS THE FIRST HALF X SALUKI/GREYHOUND I EVER REALLY EXPERIENCED & HANDLED IN 1991. PLUMMERS CANNAN Edited March 27, 2011 by optimus 1 Quote Link to post
