Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Was that the Bedoins who keep salukis in the desert CH? Frank. I'm not much of a Saluki fellah Frank... I'm not the guy to ask about them Bedouin boys... There are some real affectionados of the type on this site,..they would know far better than me... Most of the dogs that I have seen running in the sand looked fairly crossbred and raggedy old critters ,..but they sure was toughie's... fecking had to be I suppose...

Guest Frank Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thanks CW. From the clips i have seen on Youtube, they seem to be run in groups Bit different then the single handed stuff that use to go on, on the fens. How was the dog you got their in the pic? Frank. Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Where I work an old fella with a scewbald mare camps at the roadside every year. Camps there for 3/4 days and moves on, sits around an open fire drinking tea. Thats my idea of the old romantic gypsy, the closest I ever get to it is taking the caravan away to a quiet site, sitting outside in a summers evening with the dogs relaxing. As chalkie says though as romantic as it sounds, the thought of finding water, food, grazing for the horse before you relax is hard work when there are so many "modern" alternatives.........
