cody 4 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 i have a saluki/grey x grey/whip and cant really fault him the only bad point is he has smashed his feet a few times,i think half the time its him runnin to hard and the ground being s**t but everytime i go out he is switched on and always gives 110%,it sounds like yours is like what mine was at that age just mad keen and theres nothing really u can do except run them as much as u can and try and tire him out which should settle him abit.it took my one till about 18 months to calm down and now he is a pleasure to take out and dont need to worrie about him hitting fences flat out and half killing himself to get a catch hope this helps atb Quote Link to post

cody 4 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 honestly not his best trade now but have to put my hands up because i think i could have done that,when he was a pup he retrieved nobother and when i took him out for the first lampin at 12 months he caught 2 bunnies and brought them staight back,a little later on i started runnin him with other dogs and ruined all that hard work so my advice would be to run him on his own till he has matured, my one now drops them about 6 feet from me so its back to some dummy work and hopefully he get back to how he was.
