arcticgun 4,548 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 saluki will do fine in Ireland just as they would and have done in Scotland wales England, a lot is down to how they raised, and by who, they don't take well to being passed around from pillar to post, they don't do well with those that simply fail to understand they not saluki lurchers, they cant produce to every bitch they put too no matter how well bred or good they are, they cant prove themselves worthy of breeding off or from if they not worked at all, all as a breeder can do is give the man the raw ingredients good breeding from solid worked parents that seen a bit and worth breeding from, if you buy from lesser stock, that's your fault not the dogs or the lines yours and the breeder, research better and buy better same with any lurcher lamper courser fox or deer dog or allrounder a pure saluki is just that its not a purpose bred uk hare killer, for that alone there's great lines that's proven to kill multiple hares fast slow whichever style floats ya boat so why come buy a pure that's not bred for that task, ffs they bred to run desert and desert quarry, most who have come to buy pups from my two litters I told em the same if its a 3/3 ya after go buy merlin even strain lurcher 4 Quote Link to post
Hareydave 1,214 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Right lads, away from these salukis, in your opinion lads whats fastest tighest lurcher in Ireland ye seen run this last couple of seasons?? stsrt your own topic 2 Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Reading the comments about salukis and their lack of this and that , certainly you irish lads must have seen some shit run or ones that couldnt cut it over the water. I keep reading about this Mike dont know it and never seen it run from what I have been told it was never worked .A dog like Khan jihad pops up in lots of UK pures it was never a decent coursing dog and that comes direct from one of several owners.Saluki are looked on as blanks to put wind and stamina into coursing bredx,s this is why decent lines are not pushed around it would be used to keep the classifieds full of mediocre x,s. 1 Quote Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Full salukis are not for this country, ya might get the odd exception but the very rearWhy is that??? Saulki are a running dog simple.Surely if brought up as a pup in this country could they not run it???You run a 7\8 and he can do it???? too be fair ice we don't have the land back her that's in England, I think the likes of that Mars bitch, john (The Farmer) Kelly had another bitch that did do it back here and Red's father that Shadow owned, those for me are an exception too the how many hundreds that have came back here, just let me add the 3 of them are down off the Royal Jihad lines so that no coincidence, that's a great line of pure saluki. I just don't think we have the room, as for Red he's as fast as any fast lurcher in this country, he's not a pure saluki so he'd obviously be much quicker which makes the difference, all my dogs got saluki in them, their the best cross by along shot, but I don't think Ireland is for pure's apart from the odd exception like the 3 I mentioned. Like rearing a greyhound up on the fens, it ain't gonna make him stay any longer, saluki a great dogs that add so much to other crosses, on fen land it be hard beat them, just we don't have the ground back here, just my opinionOnly full l have seen is the clips LT put up and it looked good from them clips.Are they really that slow??? if your hunting big open land 99% of the time yes I think the good pure saluki dog would do ok, providing he's a good 1, but if your hunting a mix of small medium and big land I'm not to sure it would suitThis is my point surely a Saulki off good lines brought up as a pup over here with luchers should work no matter what size off land it is????So here a question for anyone that as or does own a Saulki are they one trick pony's( big land only) Quote Link to post

I've seen em worked with hawks falcons, ferrets, lamped on various quarry, coursed daytime from slips , out hunting in a mixed pack bushing mooching, the limitations are imposed by the man on the lead, too many focus on 'one trick' learn them all the tricks and ya get a better allround dog imho, whatever ya trying to make be it pure or lurcher cross only way is worker to worker no short cut 1 Quote Link to post
