A dog with flat feet (not hare) cant perform to its fullest. They soon begin to suffer and lack form. He probs doesnt understand difference between hare and flat feet anyway. Feet are first contact with the earth. Without feet and earth, no movement would occur at all, so feet are very important and affect everything. They are the tyres for grip and the shock absorbers to take away the trauma of the body being bashed against the earth to propel it along. Thats why they dont like flat feet in armies. The problem is that some good dogs have or should I say are cursed with flat feet. This confuses thick people, because they dont realise the dog would be even better with proper sprung feet. The thing is if you have such a good dog then for christs sake dont breed it to a dog with the same fault (if you breed your own) Try to improve on the feet in offspring, and do always look at feet and dont get into denial about them. 2 1 Quote Link to post

You really are a bit thick mate. As far as bad mouths are concerned in saluki types, its simple they are lacking drive. If my dogs turn out with flat feet, lack of drive, gameness or wind then I take them out of the breeding program. Thats something else I believe you only have negative experience of. 1 Quote Link to post

You seen many of the dogs in his pedigree run? Edited May 22, 2023 by Deerhunter1 1 Quote Link to post
