She's a nice bitch I personally would like her to make the grade .

cheers falconer i hope so to shes certainly showing good sighs she does run well for her age i gave her a good 250yd slip the other night and she got to him and stuck for a good 2.5 + mins then she got stuck on the fence i shouldent realy be slipping her like that but im just as keen as the dog i do need to hold her back abit more and slow down at least for a few months

Please hold both her and yourself back a bit mate.

She sounds really well bred and you have been putting the work in. I have only had one saluki blood dog and it was 18 months until mentally it was ready, a few extra months work is nothing over the dogs lifetime. Hold both of you back if you can, be a better learning curve for both of you that way. A 250 yd slip is expecting a lot on a young pup.

if the dog wasent capable of the job yet it wouldn't be doing it

If it isn't recalling then it isnt capable.

 

I don't want to sound like a cock but recall is just as important (probably more important really) as being able to outstrip a bunny under the lamp.

 

Recall in my opinion is the single most important skill any dog should have whether it's a handbag dog, running dog, gun dog or a draught excluder cross barrel shaped thing you see at game fairs that used to be a healthy dog.

 

Recall is one of two key skills that is going to help keep your dog safe when you are out and IMHO, it is irresponsible to let a dog run out knowing there is a high chance it won't come back if / when it's called.

 

 

An old border collie we had was a sod for coming back but it soon realised that it wasn't being let off until it played the game and we did a lot of recall work in a secure place so she had nowhere to go. Ideally, a fenced / walled passageway or corridor that can be locked off either end makes life a lot easier as they can't get around you!

10.5 month old pup slipped on a hare that's 250 yards away ..honestly mate you do yourself no favours. You look as though you take the right turn and BOOM, another lot of idiocy lol honestly mate , it's just a pup, it's not going to loose it's legs by two. Calm down

At that distance though the quarry might not have been running until the bitch got close up on it, and dogs of this breeding can improve on obedience, recall etc while being worked, their prey drive and endurance can be off the scale, and they just need to be out running to get the best out of them

Bond with them, don't scream and shout and become best buds and you won't go far wrong.

Atb?

That's the way to go, prey drive and natural instincts are in most of these dogs and is easy to bring out in them, what's hard is getting their attention and bonding making eye contact is a good way so they look to you for everything,which takes time and a lot of patients, but get it right and you will end up with a dog that's Hassel free and will give you long good service.
