baw 4,360 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I've kept lurchers for a good few decades now :-( and now have my 1st two heavily saturated Saluki x's ..nearly 6 months old and to be honest upto press I've not had a bother with them,100% house trained,jump grand for their age,been in and amongst livestock from the day I collected them,never batted an eyelid at them,recall is A1 every time,carry back to hand ...holy shit both will even sit on command and give you a paw lol and that's the truth...I dont want my dogs trained to gundog standard,I just want them to eat,sleep,kill and do as their told in the main...these Saluki x's seem no different to any other types I've had if I'm honest....maybe I've just fell lucky,time will tell I guess? I just think there's so many men with dogs out there and not enough dogmen...there's a world of difference between the two IMO....Atb Andy id say your out with your pups more than anyone is on here pal. practise makes perfect. Lol, bit of a bold statement that. How do you come to that conclusion? 1 Quote Link to post

Your only input and its for me, awwwww bless do you read all my posts baldrick? Go looking for them? Bet you do....... If you want to be my friend its ok, I've ripped the pish out of people before and became friend...... I'm a forgiving guy just say the word and I'll let you in the circle of trust....... 1 Quote Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I know one thing if mine go that far I need binoculars to watch it IT will be nailing it for sure lol Quote Link to post
ferretville 69 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I love them even if they do drive you nuts at times .Mine nearly drived me to dispair but once we got on the level with one another life was easier. Theres times when you want them to do something and they look at you with a look that says why the hell do you want me to do that . Not sure if its just mine but i find them a very sensitive animal and very loyal . Great amount of hunting drive and stamina in them . All i can say is all breeds are different and have there pros and cons but you get out of them what you put in to them 1 Quote Link to post
