I’d say saluki adds or puts more to a lurcher than any other breed of dog , but hey

feet, gears, wind, pace, coursing sense, attitude, 

probanly the most perfect all round pure bred dog for the job  

Would choose whippet over saluki in a dog

Why would you choose the whippet over any dog greyhound or saluki I think you mean is it just the ground you work or do you think it’s more biddable than the other two breeds to add to a base for a Lurcher atb Flacko

You would struggle to find one that stops, turns, and explodes as good as one as well. they have their flaws, but if you have ever owned a good. sound one, you know their worth, I cross all mine with deerhound/ grey/ 3/4 whippet these days, but I would own another pure whippet in a heartbeat.

Below are a couple of snippets from the other day.

Take notice of the ground they are running on, I’m at this game 2-4 days a week (depending on the weather) around various stock and farm dogs, what I love about what the deerhound brings  is its soundness, and stamina, whilst still retaining a biddable nature with minimal sacrificing of the main required attributes of a running dog.

This little bitch has just had her hair clipped so looks like a whippet, normally carries a lot more hair, she is ¾ whippet  1/8 Grey  1/8 DH - 22 TTS ,2 year old, running since a pup, and yet to have an injury that’s kept her out for more than a few days. I have owned a few of this breed over the years and they may not be world beaters but are very, sound, handy, reliable animals, I.M.O underutilised
