Meerihunter 7 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I prefer pures myself, having run both pures and crosses as I find them more robust and this suit my type of hunting. My experiences are; stamina out this world they are in a class of there own, speed more adequate and it's controlled speed, prey drive and tenacity is immense the downside is if you don't hunt them enough they will be difficult dogs, aggression is very high in my Saluki's they are highly dominant and protective, they will dominate any dog (or person around our home or truck) that comes too close, starting them hunting mine have been well into the swing of things from 5mths old and could not be held back from it. I'll not bother to put loads of photos up here are my Flick-r pics, loads on there to see. Here are my You Tube videos I also run a Saluki forum, but some reason my banner below does not work on here so you will just have to google it. Quote Link to post
dangergirl 13 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Merrihunter, thanks for your reply, your dogs to amazing. Are they difficult to train, and are they obediant? Ive herd quite a few people saying the are quite difficult to train and that they are very ignorant dogs. Cheers DG Quote Link to post

Meerihunter 7 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I don't train in a formal manner with the Salukis like did when kept gundogs, more simply getting out and about and let them learn for themselves. I give clear indication of what behaviour I will and won't accept from the onset and that's about it really. They think as near like humans as you'll get from any dog so as long as you are that step ahead of them they are not difficult. I actually find them easier to work with than our other dogs.

Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I'd appreciate some advice on how to train them. We've just homed a stray that's been ferel for 9mths. Useless as a worker but other than lead walking 3 times a day & been clean in the house she knows nothing. I've never had any dog like her but need to start some where with training before she decides to rule the roost. She's not allowed of lead at the minute as we'd never get her back. I dont want to hi jeck the thread so if anyone can help please pm me Quote Link to post
