Saluki Whippet Greyhound

[swg dave 334]

I have 2 saluki whippet greyhounds, and the younger one seems a bit shy his 15 months, and the elder one is 3 an half,

and he is stable as any thing.

A lot of people are weary of the saluki cross as in them being a bit deaf when called, although i believe my self, it is an age thing with this cross, because my older 1 of the two was jittery up untill about 18 months old, but i could not ask for a more understanding dog,in both work and obedience.

I believe also to be calm round this type of cross, as in if you are a hot head, as we can all be sometimes, ive noticed that this cross are a lot more jumpy..

But as for their working ability, they have plenty of heart

and once you are their friend, they will do any thing you ask..

 

It would be nice for any other comments from owners of this cross to share and also any pics, i will try and get some pics up of my two but my daughter will have to sort that, cheers.

I've got one at 8 months old she is terrible with recall really testing me but last few days she has started to come to me more but very shy and nervous .I have never even raised my voice at this dog. So time will tell if she gets any better we have had 4 sessions with dog whisperer to see if she gets any better witch to be honest she has but you can only spend so much money if it is falling on deaf ears????

Mooney, My eldest 1 was like that, and the younger 1 has totally blanked me before, just running off

as if im not their, and it became an habit of me getting hot headed,, i found that looking back and weighing up the whole picture to see not only my dogs faults, but also mine..

All dogs need correcting sometimes, but keep it to a calm correction especially when the dog has

Salukie blood,, you watch as they get to a certain age, the penny drops, good luck.

I've got 2 and both have reasonably good recall when out with me and my other dogs but when other dogs are around takes a couple of whistles or raised voice calls to get them back to me,,

[swg dave 334]

nice dogs bedwhippet, how old are they mate, and they can be a bit deaf sometimes.

[bedwhippet 164]

They have just gone 3 mate, very rare that they ignore me but think every dog does it no matter how much training goes into them
