What a thread not many realise theres two different types of wind in salukis and collie xs shaun v got it in one theres a difference in short lamping runs which a collie type excells at then theres wind and speed together with endurance that the salukis blessed with you can argue forever but in the day the saluki hybrids will always rule and at night give me a collie blooded dog.

If you want an alrounder you will never beat a good bit of both :victory:

Stamina...stamina...most of the people on this forum including me could run a marathon if we would be properly conditioned, build up the exercise and have the appropriate diet for it...the same goes for dogs probably...but it will be easier for some of us cause of the differences in the way we're built...

Totally

 

It is why we have different people excelling at differing tracke events. Carl lewis has probably been the greatest track sprinter of our generation (well mine - some of yous lot may need to ask your parents). Any way he was an out and out sprinter, also long jumper.

 

there is no way in heaven or hell that he would hve stood a chance against Haile Gebrselassie over anything above 400 m.

 

Look at the build of the two atheletes....they are not built the same. Just the same as a salukiand a greyhound AREN't built the same.

 

Trouble is lurcher work tends to be a bity of a hash between being and longdistance runner and a sprinter so what we want to look at is the equivalent of a decathlon athelete. Again they are a different build again.

 

But this mixing of the disciplines is where the real trouble starts. Because it is IMPOSSIBLE to be exceptional at alll disciplines - OTHERWISE Paula radcliffe would have a olympic gold over the 100m in her cupboard.

 

In short something has to give - and when it does you get individuals that are fantastic alrounders - excelling at some things and haing a weakness in others.

 

As lurcher owner/breeders we are trying to find that exceptional creature that defies physiological boundaries.

 

Collies, Bull breeds, terriers, salukis, greyhounds all have exceptional qualities. We are just trying to blend the best bits as best we can.

 

A collie, as a rule, will NEVER EVER compete with a saluki in distance running at pace.

THEN AGAIN

A Saluki, as a rile, will NEVER EVER win one man and his dog.

then NEITHER will win a ratting competition or draw a fox.

 

Most rational adults can except this and enjoy the dog they have for what it does.

 

A fool would buy a 3/4 saluki / 1/4 greyhound if all he/she wanted to do was use the dog alongside ferrets and out longnetting.

 

Then again it would be a special kind of idiot that would take a reverse 3/4 collie and head off to lincolnnshire with a roll of match cash and expect to come home with anything other than a lot less cash.

 

YES there are dogs who buck these trends to a degree but a specialist will in its field always win.

 

What muddies the waters more than anything else is you and I, us. We have such a huge impact on that 8 week old bundle we pick-up.

 

I am not talking about turning a sows ear into a silk purse. BUT in the right hands and average dog can look bloody good and in the wrong hands a perfect animal can be reduced to a shabby performer.

 

The trouble is that human nature means that we tend to blame the tools - - our dogs. But how many times on here have you read that so and so KNOWs how to bring a dog on on words to that effect.....................

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

VERY F##KING RARELY.

 

(yeah yeah we know who the exceptions are)

 

 

 

 

 

Sh1te I really have banged on a bit. sorry.
