I'd like a day an night out with a proper saluki, see what's myth an what's fact haha closest I been is a half x out that khan dog and a good few coursing dogs

Most coursingdogs have varying percentages of saluki in them

Few about that will do most things across the board.

I have always run my salukis at night (never on hares though) and they run all night great eyes half decent retrieval nowt special just pretty good at their job "myths" are mostly generated by people that don't own them

Sorry I should have updated my destination, I am in the UK

I think a lot of the folk who are saluki detractors have not seen decent salukis put to work. They are every bit as capable of taking all quarry as any lurcher and on some much better. Those that call them plodders obviously have not seen the quicker ones run and work. Should be an interesting season the coming one some new young blood out on the land,as well as some of the older ones. Be interesting to know whose going to be running some the coming season, Saluki interest seems to being reignited as few decent litters been bred this year and in the offing.

Think there's a few clips of Sonny on one of the Chalky vids.

Salukis are so varied in build temperament and ability ect its ridiculous to pigeonhole them,

There just a different type of lurcher.

How do they fare as rabbiting dogs on the lamp? Got a young sal x grey bitch here, hoping to start her lamping this season

Lamping is not my thing but a lot of saluki lads lamp with them and sing their praises . A saluki grey cross should have good pace a long as it is not to tall and turn like a tug boat. good luck in the future with your pup
