Shaddy93 840 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 From my experience most saluki greyhounds will take fox and deer too, don't get me wrong there not the hardest of tools but if the breedings there they are more than a one trick pony Quote Link to post
lad101 57 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I agree mate normally people use bull x for foxes and big game I own a bull x my self but I'm fancying a saluki greyhound they seem more all round Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'd say there is better dogs for foxes. You may well find Saluki crosses that will turn their hand to them,but I'd edge my bets ,and get something where both sides of its lineage do them . May save you some heart ache in the long run 3 Quote Link to post

lad101 57 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 It would be handy to get a saluki greyhound for future breeding if it made the grade Quote Link to post

lad101 57 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 No get a pup and see if it makes the grade lol I never buy an older dog Quote Link to post
jigsaw 11,865 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Way to go,i bought 2 in the last 8 years both didn't last,rear em up the only way Quote Link to post
Shaddy93 840 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Personally I'd sooner have a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 bull if that's what sort of quarry you intend to run week in week out they can do everything a saluki greyhound can do on the lamp and there's a much stronger chance the bull cross make the grade than the saluki cross, going down the saluki greyhound route is a stab in the dark, yes they have more stamina but come winter I'm out 3 or 4 nights a week and my bull grey doesn't slow down by the end of the night 1 Quote Link to post
