Thats how i would want a dog bred if i were still going out around where i live. It was by far the most successful cross i used around here and i have tried a lot of them. 1 Quote Link to post

A lot more frequent than you think, before you say it, not always in the slop and not always in the middle of Jan but then again what's the strike rate with saluki crosses in those conditions? i know from seeing them a 3/4 grey cross anything isn’t stopping hares regular greb it’s nonsense mate how you going to run a few hares with that cross ? min and half in the tank 2 mins max ? 2 Quote Link to post

Land on a real good hare then yeh fair enough but lot of courses that go 4/5 mins is down to the dog being happy to run it round a bit Quote Link to post

Just from what I seen over years dogs with lot of greyhound in the make up won’t waste a chance to end a run, but go other way round 3/4 saluki a lot happy to run them round for a bit, no offence meant to anyone that keeps 3/4 Salukis just what I’ve seen 1 Quote Link to post

I heard this years ago about fens then you go up and some hares being killed in 30/40 secs but if you listened to lads that run it weekly then every runs a 5 minute. Didn’t seem that way to me and I went enough times to have an opinion Quote Link to post
