Did anyone use a coursing bred dog for foxes before the ban, I’m not talking about the odd one here and but taking them in decent numbers.

Yes they added what you would expect but the couple i seen seemed happy just to sit behind and try and box them in which didn't always work especially round hedges but there's plenty of saluki crosses doing foxes just not my choice

My dog has 1/4 saluki in him and I would say that’s enough for me. About an 1/8 collie and the rest grew. He has been easy to train and is clever. His recall is really good and he’s back as soon as the lamps off. Hunts well and uses his nose.

I havnt seemed to bond with him as well as other dogs......maybe because he spends most his time sulking!! Or maybe it’s just me! 

 

Looks a cracker

Cheers Blacky. 

With just a 1/4 in him I havnt really seen any of the saluki traits people have mentioned. Maybe I got lucky. If my next one is as easy as him to train I will be happy.

Is that dog still going strong Davo, looks a good stamp n sounds like he's had some stick has he remained durable over the years or any injuries etc..

Excuse my ignorance, but all those dogs you have mention are they all Sal/grey and nothing else?

think fettle had other stuff in her apart from sal and grey.....that fluffy poode coat she had aint from a sal.....most them coursing bred dogs have lurcher in there make up....beddi..deerhound ,,Norfolk etc..

[bendrover 556]

How many of the saluki blood crabbers have reared a puppy like a lurcher and having taken the pup on ,knowing they respond to gentle rearing . Brought on that little bit slower and gave them the time to mature properly and still hate them . But can honestly say they have known what they are doing before rearing it . Genuine question .?
