Saluki Worth The Hassle

[BrianSteven72 369]

A touch of saluki goes along way but a dog with only a touch is all I would ever have , I couldn't live with a heavily saluki bloodied lurcher !

[trenchfoot 4,243]

I've always was a die hard collie x man, and would have feck all to do with those feathered, drop eared buggers. But only a fool has a closed mind. Arabian collie curs are the future

No one doubts their ability to catch.... it's the annoying cnut factor

I got to agree we this bought a saluki deer hound x collie now 11 weeks old f**k think it's got all the traits of a prue saluki just don't have the looks mind you all the black is starting to disappear from coat getting more red thank f**k I am bald but hope in few months she clams down lol

I wont own a dog without saluki in its breeding somewhere but only from Coursing blood as has much more to offer then just hare coursing. Pest controllers would prefere collie x as most are ferreters its the most effitient way of clearing land. The collie x generally will be happy to stare at some nets for 30-60 mins at a time and have no problem. They get excited working out what hole its going to bolt from. Its all mind games they love. Plus a collie nature they thrive on commands. I hate pure collies looking back every few seconds in the hope for another command. I prefer more free thinking independent dogs . But i think bit of saluki and bit of collie goes a long way

that's spot on mate, with this fookin looking at you every couple of yards. walk a couple look, walk couple look. walk couple look etc , ive always thought this trait in a dog is not normal . ive met loads of people with dogs all kinds of breeds and not feckin (one) does it, Bryn my 1x collie x grey he does it, and so does my 1x gsd x grey , not as bad but does look out for you quite a lot. I not talking about strange ground etc just normal dog walk big open field (common ground) where lots of dogs go, but Bryn does it as above its been a long hard 8 years for me living with a dog who acts like this 24/7 , ok he been good rabbit dg true had good bags with him . but I never have a dog with collie in it again Bryn killed it for me, that's really why I went for a gsdx grey something similar but not as bad temp, he is like but not as bad plus he a better alrounder type lurcher than Bryn , as Bryn just a rabbit dog really, Buck up for most stuff . I think drop of saluki would be a good thing, you get good stamina and good feet , and agile dog . I ve always though Buck put back to a saluki x lurcher bitch you get great pups , as he got the above as well you get a dog run all night long with plenty of prey drive . regards temp if its only say 1/4 saluki it watered down anyway with the other breeds in there, so to train might not be to bad ,the bullx grey x saluki x grey another good x that's does well

My sis next door has two pure collies i dont know why. All the family has lurchers and she got collies. She always wants me to take them out. I refuse to walk them they drive me insane. Now to stop this i drive on the quad about 25mph and run the fuckers that hard they aint got time but run till there f#cked then take them home lol stops them anouying me and the sis is happy. Win win

How could you do such a thing Trenchfoot,...I've seen men flogged for far less

 

Personaly,..as a determined hunting canine,...the Saluki is something else,...and its influence over a lurcher hybrid,.is enormous....The dogs that I used to work,..nightly,..(.almost every suitable night),...were all heavily Saluki blooded.....

 

Nowadays,..I lead a quiet and sedate life,...and a wee Collie cur suits me just grand,...but,.them beautiful Saluki gals,...well,...it was emotional

In fact, considering the fact that we only freelanced locally ,...they used to bag up a fair amount of game during the course of the two week moon phase....They were the right tool for the job,...at that point in time....

I like a bit of saluki in my little rabbiting dogs. Gives me something to blame their "misdemeanours" on

Nice line up there mr Lloyd ....

brill that yeh get them knackered lol, then they prob act like a (normal) dog and not like things these over sensitive /manic creatures that they are .!

[darbo 4,774]

i like the saluki lurcher x collie lurcher has some good sport over the years with the cross. A old pic of a pup.

 

[bonehead 92]

Think most dogs have saluki in blood lines somewhere now but hard to find ones without saluki up my way so we just put up with there odd behaviour lol always wondered where this saluki blood comes from as I never see any saluki dogs about so I believe lots only have a hint of saluki and still f***ing pain in the arse lol but think hunting is percent down to dog ability 19 percent down to food 1 percent for the dickhead holding lead to know when to let go lol

[morton 5,368]

All of my of my dogs apart from one have contained saluki in the mix and normally more saluki that anything else I have also have couple of prue saluki in the past now I would say saluki can be hard to train as I believe you never really own this breed as they are so free thinking and independent minded they only ever do anything for you as they like you they will never be bullied into doing anything so getting a biddable one can take a bit longer and to build up that trust but I have always thought is was worth having this type of blood line in my dogs as I not only think the speed that they have but that free thinking can help in the field in some situations but I know lot of guys would never consider saluki as feel them to be pain in arse and infact know couple of pest controlers who both say saluki types are to much hassle a good collie cross can't be beating for akround dog . and can match most crosses .and I have seen quite a few collie lurchers I be proud to call my dog so with this in mind like to hear if you guys think saluki blood in a dog worth the hassle as all the working dog men pest controler types seem to opt away from them on to collie cross

If Hares are on the menu id not own a dog without it being heavily Saluki orientated,there is nothing else ever bred that can compete with them.If i wanted an honest grafting type lurcher,that had a more varied menu,id Never want Saluki in the mix,its more trouble than its worth and the Collie adds far,far,far more to honest lurchers than the Saluki ever will.

[Giro 2,648]

Morton I'd disagree..

 

I've had collie types and switched to saluki crosses.

 

I have one that's pretty much a sight hound however it's hunting ability and prey drive leaves my old collie types in its wake..

 

I doubt it's a one off either..

 

I can take mine out day or night and comes home with meat..
