gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Only my opinion now,, so take the cross hairs off ,, so you own saluki crosses ,and the ones that dont have know brains,, yes right.. No he's saying that people who say "salukis have no brain" have not got a brain. Not people who don't own salukis. Salukis are far far from thick! So true mate , I like collie crosses they are great but I prefer my saluki crosses just my preference , and when people say they don't have brains makes me laugh as they are far from thick , I've a pup here 3/4 saluki grey he's been the easiest to train out of all my dogs , and tbh I'd like a collie blooded Lurcher later on if I could pull myself away from saluki crosses how many saluki x's have you got? one? not a broad spectrum to base a wide opinion on for me... Just out of curiosity, you come onto a Saluki x thread, how many Saluki type dogs have you had? Quote Link to post

I've got 2 heavy saluki blooded dogs and another with saluki blood also I've hunted with my family since I could walk and always had saluki greys or saluki xs of some sort my dad had 5 saluki greys , 3pures all ran well my uncle still has 7 saluki bred dogs and still runs them I've grown up around saluki xs and like to think I know what they are capable of if brought on right Just my opinion fair enough, i thought you only had the pup I understand where you were coming from mate Quote Link to post

gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Honestly could not tell you mate, never been into terriers, but what I find works best with Salukis is little and often, they are never going to be agility or obedience champions, but simple tasks of sit, lie, stay .etc are possible, which if its a working dog, you don't need much more, all the Saluki x's I have had have been brilliant jumper's, my old dog jumped 6 foot 3 for a bet, But I must say, the only thing I could fault him in was he was pure and utter shite on rabbits, but not all of them are but trust me, there not slow, and there certainly not brain dead Quote Link to post

johnny 2 367 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 how good is the saluki greyhound collie for a all rounder . Why? have you been offered one? Quote Link to post
sikastag_1 689 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Excellent cross, mine is bred 3/4 grey 1/4 collie X saluki x grey and he dose anything asked of him day or night, really versatile cross and good dog around house aswell with the kid, very laid back!' Cheers Get a pic up of him mate, what age is he? Quote Link to post
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I think this is a good cross, For a bit of everything the ones iv saw where decent dogs, Wind,Brain,Feet, And just them types that were natural hunters plenty of running brain about them... And the Saluki thing yes we've all seen them types that dont listen, Point and slip types on the fen that dont come back and you have too run after them praying they catch cause its the only way you can get um back on a lead.. BUT thats down too the owners i wouldnt own a dog now that never had a splash of Sal in it, People just think they bring wind into the mix when they bring a hell of a lot more than that... Get what suits you and the quarry you run, 1 Quote Link to post

Matt3699 142 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Every Saluki X GH X collie I have seen were cracking dogs. Great allrounders. But it's down to the breeding and the handler at the end of the day. The bitch I have at the moment is a Saluki Collie Greyhound, Took me 5 months of searching to find the specific cross I was after.., still young but I'm confident she will make a good'n. My last one was a real good all rounder. Are you thinking of getting one? Quote Link to post
