I get that, but those dogs are obviously naturally acclimatised to those temperatures.

Not looking to argue with anyone, but those dogs were far from impressive.  

Hard to judge, let's not forget that a gazelle is also a running machine.

So droppers on vid but a saluki can run down a wild one and have lol

Who's actually seen a saluki run a wild antelope? 

It's clear that those vids on YouTube are set up.

Yep, I'd love to see the stamina of the saluki tested against a pronghorn. 

Don't believe everything you read but it's claimed they can run 35mph for 4 miles and hit over 50mph.

Their horses and dogs are very impressive, I just prefer a more natural sporting manner to my pastime

I agree with that, apart from the dogs being impressive lol.  Says something really, when they are breeding some of their c o o salukis to british born coursing breds and greyhounds, or is that just a rumour I read?

They the fastest antelope/deer/gazelle in the world, even though they're more closely related to girraffe.  Lol, I'm getting the hang of this google nonsense lol.

I heard some of the British bred coursing dogs had been sold to the M.E years ago.

And again, like I said earlier, that goes back to what I said before, about british bred, successful coursing dogs being better than the c o o dogs.

Back then like this mate 70s say lads got pure the only thing to breed it with was a lurcher mate then bk to pure or with someone saluki lurcher they got from same spot  

our old saluki blood from micks flash is traceable back to 1890 in iraq same blood comes forwards to modern coursing dogs via your dads dogs as well, flash went to mostly lurchers as you say, used over what lads already had, but also threw some handy first crosses and pures as well, atb tc

What can I say, I’m comfortable with My sexuality, or lack of it

Same here mate, I certainly don't need a dog that can run for 5 miles at 40 mph after a 'dropped' gazelle, that it DOESN'T catch, or a dog with a 'head like a buffalo, for 'teeth', whatever the f**k they are?!

Ok, well this sort of goes back to what I said on here a few years ago.  I said that the british bred salukis, the successful coursing dogs, would surely be better coursing dogs than c o o salukis, as the european brown hare is bigger, stronger and more athletic, so therefor correspondingly harder to catch,  than the hares that are native to the countries that the saluki is from.

we british do like to think our hare is the hardest to catch....this opinion is ussualy based on nothing more than pride.....

cos lets be honest there will be very few of us that have took a dog to other countries to find out
