What does it bring apart from speed and a whole host of negative attributes like, bad feet, no brain, bad stamina, injury prone 

It brings a huge amount of prey drive. I’d fancy the chance of a pure greyhound on a fox a lot more than a pure saluki.

That's the theory but folk claim the saluki has been perfected after being bred for thousands of years to catch quarry, why would you cross inferior dogs like Bedlington, greyhound,etc to try and improve on perfection? 

Maybe these breeds brought more to the coursing bred types than people realise or maybe it was a case of these dogs became the ultimate hare dogs despite these other breeds. 

If you see them run you need a flask and a few sarnies before or if they come back

You are more in to breeding these dogs than many on here, have you or do you know of any lads ever going back to greyhound before going back in to saluki or another coursing type after things have started getting stale? 

Sankey put blondie to a greyhound to breed a dog for himself when he stopped running fens, not sure how good it was and never heard of any decent pups out of the dog he kept

Well yeah but you'd also get strong odds on a cockerpoo

Only if it was wearing its harness.

I've been on the verge of trying a pure tbh, I mean surely a pure sighthound should be just as quick as a 3/4 bull or collie greyhound.

The last capable dog had on hares was my 3/4 collie x greyhound, would love to see how a pure compares on the local fields I used to run.

Actually them dogs look very light so they might just skim across the slop like a hare does

I suppose the best bet would be to put a fast coursing bred in to a line if it was starting to lose a bit of speed rather than having to go back to pure greyhound.

A agree 100% a can see why some lads use pure grey if breeding to tight and don’t want to use any other blood so use grey as outcross then breed back in.

Yea I just remembered nipper was put to a greyhound and the pups turned out slower than when he was put to a saluki, figure that one out

they don’t run in a way that doesn’t sink they power like a greyhound that causes sinking

Trust me you will disappointed if you get a pure especially if your running smaller type land
