Back in the days before the ban you wouldn’t be having much success on deer either with a pure saluki that’s a fact & I’ve never heard of one that would do a turn on foxes. i agree lampers for lurchers greyhound blood is good but the very few hares would get killed if it wasn’t far the greyhound couldn’t be further from the truth mate with salukis come single handed hare killers the saluki is a far better hare stopper than a greyhound Quote Link to post

Maybe fact was the wrong way to say it as there’s always exceptions to everything in dogs, but I’d have been very surprised to see a pure saluki take anything larger than a roe when it was legal. 2 Quote Link to post

I’m sure if someone had taken the larger species with a pure saluki it would’ve been well documented Quote Link to post

I didn’t mention red stags, and I never said anything about running deer with a pure greyhound, what I said was greyhound blood is often forgotten about when talking lurchers but in my opinion it’s the most important part because without it very little would be caught. As I’ve said I’m no expert on hare coursing but I do know about deer & if a saluki met the wrong one of the 3 bigger species it would throw the towel in, as would the vast majority of line bred coursing dogs 2 Quote Link to post
