well the folk in the middle east have been doing it for several thousand years , and it works for them ,,.......so why not!! think its more to do with being aware of its abilities ,,, give them the oppertunaties ,give them there heads if the instinct is there let em use it !

horses for courses mate.. some are not quick enough for some lads needs and land they run... we could say that about a lot of dogs why cross them... greyhound... whippet... deerhound to name a few... my answer would be to meet our needs for purpose of use

Thats a popular misconception. Salukis and saluki Xs are FAR from thick!! They are a lot more independant than most types and tend to do things their own way which can be frustrating for the owner but they are brilliant dogs in the right hands and as iv said they certainly aint daft! One thing to mention here though: they are VERY SENSATIVE! If you hit them or shout at them they will never have anything to do with you again, you MUST treat them with kid gloves and reward them for good behaviour rather them tell them off for bad behaviour.

thats not stricktly true ,, if you dont keep the upper hand they will run rings around you ..they must know who is boss.and told in no uncertain terms when behavour is unacceptable .im not talking about hitting them either but if they do wrong they must know about it

well said latchy,could not have put it better the majority of salukiurcher type crosses out perform the pures in this country thats obvious or one would have won the forley cup etc back in the heyday,, a good few lads say they ain't worth bothering with cause the alternative saluki lurcher is much better, and from what little I know likely they right, but...why not have working saluki as well,cannot do any harm and its certainly better for the saluki itself, must be torture for them being kept as pets or worse as a show pony.

just a question and dont take it the wrong way if these people in the middle east are so smart whats the news about as in if yea turn on the tv yea can see that a lot of what these people done for thousands of years was not very switched on as for salukis i have seen a fair few work none of which i would wish to own but they may have somethink to offer in the make up of a lurcher if you want to run big ears but as for any type of other work i would wonder what they can add to the qulites of a working dog they tend to be slow to react slow to listen and slow as in speed maybe not all but a lot of them and a lot of them seem to me to throw in the towel more than a lot of other breeds
