Collie/Greyhound x Saluki

[thorny 100]

I am very interested in collie blooded lurchers, I currently have a collie x grey. I will next spring add another pup to the house. I have seen a couple of crosses work that I like the sound and look of. I am very interested to learn and see more of collie/grey x saluki type dogs. Any pictures and feedback would be greatfully recieved, also if anyone is planning a litter of this breeding I would be very thankfull to hear of it.

I have found My collie x grey to be a very esay going dog, quick to learn and easy to train, although a working dog he is also a big part of our house, and is great with other dogs and kids.

Just wondered what adding saluki blood to the mix will bring, and are they as stubborn and headstrong as I read.

They just need a different approach to training. A more softer method than the collie or bedlington crosses I find.

Iv got a collie grey as well and i love him! He takes everything, is very intellegent and i cant fault him. The addition of saluki blood will increase stamina which would be a good idea for long nights lamping etc. Iv got a saluki whippet greyhound back to a whippet and iv got a pure saluki. Iv found my saluki lurcher can sometimes be a twat for coming back but a few "come here = a treat" sessions soon sorts that out. The pure saluki is perfect on his recall. I wouldnt listen to the knockers mate, its what you put into a dog and how good you are at working within a dogs individual quirks thats important.

get the [bANNED TEXT] .saluk cross and a hardy fast collie type and they breed very good alround dogs saw several now and there there with the best of them in all round lurchers ,both parents have to be tough and well proven as some colie types can be soft so can saluk type so you need to be carefull what type of dogs you breed

If it where down to the wife it would be a pure saluki bitch, that joins the house. She loves the look of them, must be them pretty ears I go out on the lamp a couple of times a month, so not a real big thing. My main passion is day time mooching. Whats better than being up and out before dawn, and coming home at lunch time. Even better if its sunday and a wiff of roast beef hits you in the face as you open the front door. So I want a dog that can go out and about for 6 to 7 hours a day. Work for its self to a certain extent, but never to far away. Hopefully what ever I get will work along side my lad and take to our little jack as she works the cover. This is why I like a dog with some collie in it, bit of brains. I am only going on what I have read so dont shoot Me to bits but I have always read that the salkui type or pure saluki is not the sharpest tool in the box, but wont past judgement Myself as I have never seen a pure working. Would just like to hear feedback on it

had 2 collie/lurcher x saluki lurchers. trained quite easy but were in general quite sensitive. both made good rabbit dogs /day night and decent hare dogs thats all they were run on. my best bitch ever was from this breeding.

The best dogs i have ever owned saluki x, i am 63 and had lurchers all of my life worked all different types over the years.This crap about salukis being thick is rubbish put about by shit dog owners who cant understand that its just a different approach to train a dog that's got a lot more brains than the average lurcher owner.

Thinking about sticking one over my first cross collie/grey in 3-4 years time. She's a heavy type 22.5tta weighed yesterday at 52lb she seems a hard type of collie x but want a more versatile dog I can use in the day and hope the saluki can add what I'm looking for

i owned a collie/grey x saluki/grey bitch an she was a decent dog for me, she did start picking an choosing runs on bunnys in her 5th season, an i was gutted,

but up until that point, she geed me everything she had an more on edible quarry, didnae like teeth tho, but i wasnae arsed, she made bunnys an lots of them look easy, only ever lost 1 big bunny, she ended up taking epileptic fits in her 5th season, not long after she started picking her runs, she wasnt the type a dog that could be left in kennel when you took other out, so she was pts, a good few folk on this site seen her run....

mines similar breeding but more ov lurcher to lurcher cross, very strong saluki and collie presance in his make up, he was easy to train at first picked most things up easy then once he got to a certan age he started getting head strong but i just took a different approch in trainning, hes a fast dog with good wind and feet seem good never had any issues, not that i get out enough to test him properly due to work but he does well for me, iv noticed first few outings or first few runs of the season he will hunt up on the lamp but after a few runs he stops. good with kids and other dogs good in the house,
