All I run is coursing bred saluki types and yeah they catch the odd few rabbits but are far from rabbit dogs saluki are built for a job and the jobs hares and long runs not little 40/50 yard bursts.

Think he might have something else in him besides sal/grey?

Not really something I have a lot of experience with.  I've only had a limited amount of experience with saluki bred dogs lol.  I just don't seem to get on with them lol.

I've heard saluki owners are a breed apart themselves I'm stubborn and sensitive myself, with a dead tough edge sometimes if it needs it, so maybe I've found my type of dog

No you didn't cause offence ,maybe you could start by finding inclosed space for him to be let off lead and see if you can get him to come back to you and see what commands he knows as any dog man worth is salt would have give him basic traing like recall etc 

As for coursing its banned so you don't want to be doing that, if you going rabbiting get him used to ferrets and if he's been a working dog he probably knows what to do and its you lacking knowledge so go out with your buddy once season starts and give him a days ferreting or lamping . 

Wish you the best 

 

Cheers, great advice mate. Yeah def think it's me that needs educating! Might go out just me him and his dog first, then the next time try my lad. I'll see.

He didn't have the acceleration on him to get the rabbits 10m away from him and 3m away from their burrows...

Though I will say, I've seen several rabbits tie some good dogs, on rabbits and hares, in absoluts knots, and escape.

Cheers. He's a good lad. Built to chase. Too stocky to just be sal /grey I think, too slight to be much of owt else. Could be anything in there, maybe a bit of bull. Not sure.
