I get an inkling your not a huge fan 

Don’t get me wrong if all I was into was hares I would have one tomorrow but I can’t stand that ignorant thing they do when they take off as if they have seen something,then hype all the other dogs up then stop dead in the middle of the field just to have a look about.Then you are stood 20yrds off the big stuff and the dogs are half a field away because of numpty wanting a gallop.

Seen a saluki xs first hand do fox regular and deer was the thing it seemed to have that extra gear for.

I like a dash of saluki in a dog, can bring alot to the table.

ive a 12 year old dog here ,took a bit of everything,took a variety of big and small..probably one of the better dogs ive had in the time ive kept them,i never put him down as a champion at any one thing but gave a good effort at everything ,hope i can be blessed with something similar in the future

I love not only watching my own dogs run but also my mates dogs especially when seen them from a pup and that saluki xs was up there with the best runners i have seen and i loved watching it run.

In fact the dog I'm onabout refused to run rabbits at about 3 years old.

Sure a few folk will disagree but hey ho. I’ve never seen a good deer hound blooded dog, wasn’t really sure they existed anymore, other than in folks memories of a time gone by. When I say deer hound blooded, I don’t mean a dash way back. 
 

I’ve not seen a huge number of dogs run, because I don’t like people and in order to see lots of dogs you need to meet and go out with lots of people.

But all of the best deer dogs I’ve seen, have all either been saluki bull greys, bull greys, or bitza Lurchers with a good dose of bull and saluki in them.

I think if someone was really interested they could resurrect the deerhound as a pure working hound. The problem is most hunters, including myself want a hunting dog for now and the crosses just are more useful in most cases.

I can definitely relate to that, I hate hunting with other people. Everything they do gives me the shits.
