low plains drifter 10,287 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 See what you mean DB, and I have noticed a couple of my Saluki crosses did and do like to dig some fair size craters on the beach lol Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Salukis can vary in height weight and conformation from 24 to 28 inch tts the bitches usually range from 24 to 26 and dogs from 24 to 28. tts. The weight and thickness of coat can depend on the region they are from. Some variation of colour from solids to grizzle and broken colours but steer clear of brindle USA kc has just recognised brindle but COO dont accept them as being from pure stock. I remember a Saluki bitch in Silsden in the early ,s,pure bred and a mutt that put a massive dent in the hare population in the vicinity,that stood at 32".The vast majority of pures and half crosses ive come across often pan out at about 25" for bitches.It would be of interest to know where a bitch of that size gained its pedigree.
