thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,482 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Quick someone ring the police I said that lurchers have got more gears than a saluki, I'd love to see one of your Salukis run db they sound like the real deal Quote Link to post
thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,482 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Db so you wouldn't agree that most Salukis lack a bit of gear when compared to lurcher which is what I said Quote Link to post

DogFox123 1,379 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'm not doubting Saluki's are good dogs but if they were superior to the coursing bred dogs then why weren't they winning the competitions? 1 Quote Link to post

How many pure owners enter into the coursing comps? also how many run coursing dogs as opposed to pures so the numbers dont stack up do they. How many of the comp winners are not heavily saturated saluki x,s? Edited September 3, 2016 by desertbred Quote Link to post

Plenty on here seen my Salukis run. yes I ment coursing bred saluki lurchers, I mean gears as in being able to accelerate to a hare quicker and having an extra gear top end, id say most Salukis have a 4 speed gear box and a good coursing bred lurcher 6 speed gear box with having quicker acceleration and more top end speed Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Have you got a saluki coursing lurcher running will it have 6 gears on the black ? 1 Quote Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Its down to confidence and what land the races are run on most coursing lads only run hares and want the flat land why not a comp on other quarries on other types of land. Would lads run the lurcher against purpose bred greyhounds on the track? its horses for courses Quote Link to post
thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,482 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Have you got a saluki coursing lurcher running will it have 6 gears on the black ? it's got 7 gears on the black the extra one is reverse 3 Quote Link to post
dodger 2,754 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Cheers for the info lads, interesting stuff, lot of show bred stuff in his pedigree yet his offspring where renowned for there incredible stamina and heart, when people first started using deacon as a stud it was the first time such stamina was seen in coursing lurchers like kippers pip and fh Bill dog, Bill who was straight out of deacon once ran a hare for over 5 mins then when he had killed that another hare got up and he ran that for 4 mins and killed that aswell totalling over 9 mins running time, I was told bill one day also ran his first 3 hares and missed them, then was ran on another 5 hares after that which he killed all of them and they were long gruelling runs aswell, also Casper killed 16 hares in 3 days in a row on bottomless ground, some feat, Someone told me when deacon was bought as a pup they would only sell him to be used as a show dog and not to be worked, just shows youthey hadn't been as spoilt back then, think the dam of Salty and Sooner was same way bred. yea the mother to salty and sooner was deacons sisterI went out with this bitch a fair bit day n night f a f she was real quick for a pure mate..
