Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I doubt that the average saluki would be worth a damn on fox. Not always the case matey, I knew of a couple of saluki crosses that absolutely leathered foxes with a real hatred before the ban.....not massive numbers, but would get into 3 or 4 a night no problem and hunt them on there own in the day as well. I can believe that but the average saluki who was bred to kill a 8 pound desert fox aint f****n with them monster sumbitches yall got over there. Our fox are tiny compared to yalls..........but them desert variety are usually way smaller than ours. Quote Link to post
Good Man 196 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I doubt that the average saluki would be worth a damn on fox. I would'nt know my friend, I just sit down at my computer on my fat ass and have an opinion on everything I've never done myself. There are Saluki's that did relish them, not that I know of course.... First off, we aint friends.........Secondly, looky here dick beater, its hard enough to get dogs bred to catch and kill to do it consistently let alone dogs bred primarily for hare and some tiny ass gazelle thing. I seen videos of them dog gone saluki where they run them gazelle for like 5 minutes friggin straight. That shit is unbelievable. I am in awe at their speed and endurance. I know that good fox dogs could never ever do such a thing. Why is it that saluki and whippet folks get their panties in a bunch over shit like this. They know their dogs cant do it but they get on here and throw a damn fit about how they can cuz they read it in a book somewhere. There might well be a lot of Salukis bred primarily for hare especially in the west, but that is certainly not the case in their native lands, in many regions first is primary quarry. http://www.youtube.c.../Unatbek/videos What sort of a c,unt would allow a protracted battle like that while they stand there and film it ! Put a knife in the thing and finish it. It's a young dog learning it's trade I'd say and it not like it's ripping into it. Sometimes you just have to give a dog a chance to learn technique, if you go running everytime you'll spent your life having to help. I agree it's not what i'd be doing but I see that he want the dog to learn to handle deer. i see where your coming from, but i once owned a 3/4 grehound 1/4 irish terrier and he was 18 month old when he took his first dear, a yearling fallow, it took me 2 mins to get to him, when i did, the deer was stone dead, quick job.

firstrike 21 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Has anyone ever ran a saluki on foxes pre ban ? If so how did u get on any pics would be great also We ran a pure in the early 90s, funny thing was that the dog couldnt get near a hare where we lived but murdered charlie in fine style. He hated other dogs and the postie who he duely savaged the first time he got chance.... Quote Link to post

DOGGINLAD 538 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well it is that easy , when you get a dog that does it.. but it aint that easy to get any dog to do it 1 Quote Link to post
chartpolski 24,626 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I had a 40lb bitch, she killed them, but not easy. I also had a 75lb bitch, she killed them easy. When a 75lb Lurcher hits a 15lb fox, and means it..........there's usualy only one outcome. Cheers. Quote Link to post
