Salukis have an awful lot to offer.

 

Rabbits - on openland maybe. They are not the ten yard dash you have in the UK.

 

They are bred for stamina and agility.

 

 

The muscle tone they carry in the genes is the long thin type which is perfect for long runs.

 

If you were after a perfect mix you could add the highly bunched muscle of the greyhound ( muscle structure a bit like a pheasant breast - enough to get them up and away?)

So you combine the initial speed of the grey with the amazing agilty and stamina of the saluki......

There are many misconceptions about Saluki's being slow and being thick and I'm not about to try convince some people that have never even seen one run otherwise.

 

My Salukis can stay ahead my SalukiX's and my O/Hs beddie/whip/grey and her beardieXgrey they are just as fast when they need to be however where they have the space they will settle behind their quarry and work it in typical Saluki style.

 

I run mine in woods and scrub more than open ground and they can do fast blasts to snap up rabbits before the make their holes just fine .

Excellent footage at the end

[the fezz 44]

mate thats a stunning bit of video

[Meerihunter 7]

Lol the musics good, the lamping bit is pretty crap though lol.

Great vid: loved the music. Someone like you who is dedicated to their dogs will always get more out of them than someone who just keeps them in a kennel 24/7 to take out once in a blue moon.

 

P.S. Was that a Saluki swimming out to sea? Scary stuff: I wish you had shown it turning round and coming back to shore: that image will haunt me now until you tell me that the dog came back OK. LOL You can tell I'm a landlocked dweller!!

With Salukis I would say you will get away with keeping them in a kennel 24/7, to get anything from them they need to be worked daily otherwise the will just give you the finger and find their own work.

The beastie heading out to sea was something other than a Saluki. The Salukis have more sense than to do that lol, it did eventually turn about and came ashore about a mile further up the bay where it was left to go on it's way.
