I'm sure I remember reading about it in countryman's weekly a few years backNope the bull terrier was put into coursing greyhounds to give them some fire ,that was lord orford? I think .But I think some drovers or rural types had lurcher types before then. Highland Stalkers had collie x deerhounds as well. Quote Link to post
Moja 111 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I personally think a nice fast busy coursing bitch with a decent gear box and mouth, with buck across that would make handy dogs for a bit of everything. Im guess it would be good blend like the c/s/g 2 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 45,624 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 My pal bred his bitch, saluki, grey alsation to a merlin/eve bred dog few yrs ago, some of the quickest tuned in running dogs I've ever seen run. A x I would have if I ever get another runner for sure. Atb dc Quote Link to post

Not my type of dog mate gotta be honest but i do like some of the mali or herder crosses for certain jobs. just wondered why you rated it so highly did it do the lot or was it lacking in some areas ? Or just a good honest dog ? Quote Link to post

No soon has the saluki blood hits the xs they steady right up but retain plenty intelligence and some prefer other things than others but can all run and are types around the twenty six mark males bitches abit smaller no udesireable traits that can be got from Salukis in fact these we bred retained plenty phenotype of the saluki some looked just like sal greys races but strong much like good strong coursing types,good type and they are cooler and recover quicker than the straight alsation grey ,but that was expected and hoped for in using a coursing type on a bitch ,I have been offered the use of a fast hairy Ozzie bred type fa jaz that's a good fast killer we will see in time but but yas right they are usually a good type for a man wanting abit of edible and of course they will run abit compared to most other base xes they can hold there own .atb bunnys.

Some of those we bred were the same twitchy joggers bikes even steam fecking trains ,but the little bitch I have from that line his bomb proof trust around anything when told no she would live with anything and be trusted she still has a little growl in her throat but usually they wrong uns she has the gift ta know a wrong un.how about a animal that reacts on a thought of its handler possible. Definitely there always special ones that come along.atb bunnys. Quote Link to post
