mackem 26,157 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Minuses - Poor feet, hard to train, nervous, look gay...................REALLY?My very first lurcher was a saluki composite,nervous and gay?Methinks NOT!In fact the cute little silver beddie cross I have now looks a darn sight more effeminate than the powerhouse the saluki cross was Her feet were fine running in northern england and scotland,and she wasnt so hard to train,but that could have been the amount of time I put into her seeing as she was my first dog and I had John Holmes(not the porn star)Book "The Obedient dog" as my training bible,one thing though,INCREDIBLE jumper Quote Link to post

Guest hob__ferret Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) thats not a frist cross it has bull in that some were this is a first cross Edited June 16, 2008 by hob__ferret Quote Link to post
Guest WILF Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Agree totally with Mackem, NEVER had a serious foot injury with these 2 (the bully x has superb feet) and the only failing they have with their trainning are MY failings as an owner/trainer....... They run on any ground..........hard, soft, frozen, snow.........all the same to them. Quote Link to post
