Saluki And Saluki Crosses

[Richard Warwick 50]

does anyone have trouble keeping weight on they're Saluki or saluki crosses? my Saluki greyhound is always losing weight then putting it back on a few weeks later, with no change to his diet or exercise. he is upto date on his wormers etc i feed him Gain 28 greuhound food, and my bull X doesn't lose weight at all

gain 28 is a waste of time for a pure saluki or a saturated x to high in protien, thousands of years its taken to adapt the saluki to live on a low protien diet. Try it on a basic chicken rice pasta and veg diet you will find its weight remains pretty stable , when running it hard just up the raw chicken a bit or add a bit of breast of lamb.
