The Saluki X ... Ffs

[desertbred 5,490]

i find you need a lot more patience and understanding with them than some other crosses and tbh there are some people that would never tolerate the way they are . but when you are on the same wave length as them they make a great companion and hunting dog .ps you still need the patience of a saint compared to some other crosses .and do not or never will suit certain owners .

Spot on Boyo thank f**k I have a lot more patience with my salukis than I do with people LOL

The ones I have known ( not owned, friends dogs ) have been fabulous/amazing/annoying/difficult/loyal/independent and everything inbetween. I don't think they would suit me, but then again I love my collie crosses - and they don't suit everyone either.

 

Having said that, some people seem to get on with more types of dogs than others, and are maybe more willing to alter their own behaviour/training/expectations to fit in with different types of dog.

I've never had a problem with saluki crosses, problem is, a lot of other crosses end up reasonably trained despite poor training methods. With the saluki cross you need to know what your doing and do it right, being heavy handed just won't work.

You just got to get on their wave length...once you're there they can do everything any other lurcher can......probably alot more besides.....

 

I expect mine to do the basics, be stock broken, listen to me, retrieve land or water fur or feather, run the beam, jump on command, be 100% around stock as well as more besides.

 

Don't buy an adult and expect to make it into a silk purse, 'cos someone's generally ruined it and you may struggle to get a bond. Saluki hybrids do not like being passed from one person to the next, they like to know where their home is, who their master is and they are just about as loyal as any other dog......

 

Sure, not all of them make the grade, but those that do are fairly good at filling a freezer or three..... JD

 

p.s, I've never had a problem with recall, ever.

i'll start by saying i've no experience of saluki x's what so ever,but what do you

mean by getting on their wave length, as i expect the dog to get on the same

page as me not the other way round.if you mean not to expect collie x sort of

reactions then i get it but not to sure what you mean

You just have to get to know the dog and once you have the dog's trust,it,s all about patience and putting the work in,like the saying goes if it's worth having it's worth working for

Salukis and saluki x are highly strung individuals and dont take kindly to wrong handling especially harsh behaviour. You need to understand thier capabilities and short comings so the getting on thier wave length enables you to bring them to apoint where they are biddable but they will never be subservient as with a lot of other x.s

spot on, i think that can be with most dogs really. Alot of people dont like the (robotic temp) you can get with colliexs, meaning they carnt have piss with out watching you .! i think my my gsdx grey might be a bit differnt to colliexgrey, not so clock work temp. With salukixs (you) got have alot of patience with this type of x, and i would prob feck'm up, as i dont have alot patience with any dog really(,just about keep it cool )with what ive got.!!
