Ideation 8,216 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I was thinking about this cross today, some definate up sides, the downside though could be a dog that was as touchy and tempramental as your average woman. In my idle musings i ended on saluki/bull/grey x collie/whippet/grey Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Sheepdog/Greyhound x Saluki/Greyhound... Used to be a real popular cross in my area,...I'm pleased to see they are making a return... Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yes the saluki and collie could definitely give the worst of both I guess. Saluki Bull Grey x Collie Whippet Grey is something I've thought about too. Should make a decent all rounder. My bitch is saluki/whippet/grey I THINK possibly with some collie. Would love to put a collie/bull/grey over her down the line but would then worry about diluting the saluki blood too much. Gaz Quote Link to post
