[JOHNBOY 18]

any 1 on here use this cross, or seen 1 work ? seen 1 few years ago but never seen it work, was wondering why this cross isnt more popular as they have similar qualitys as the saluki ?

[Guest mush]

just a type of saluki which their trying to make into a new breed.

[Guest Geordie]

Mainly owned by the likes of the bedouin tribesman and very highly valued by them as hunters and watchdogs over the herds of goats.

Places like Tunisia,Libya,Morocco were the main places they were found.They nearly became extinct at one point,(cant remember the dates/times) ,this was put down to two factors,

1/ rabies was running rife in the areas they were found in.

 

2/ Alot of the areas were french controlled and the french authorities in their wisdom decided that hunting with these dogs,or their type,was to be outlawed,so they shot them on sight.

 

Not sure wether they are related to the saluki,tho i seem to remember some breeders and scientists had started doing some DNA testing to try to find out.

 

Never had any experience of them personally,all the above is just what i found out on the www,so it could be a load of bollox

 

I was interested in them at one time before i got into the lurchers,thats the only reason i know this much.

 

I seem to remember somebody has tried breeding them with other types to produce lurcher types,cant remember where i read that tho im getting old,the brain dont function as well as it used to :whistle: :whistle:

not quite

[Guest rattingaddict]

John Bromley the greyhound trainer used them yrs ago i remember reading

[Guest mush]

So whats the difference between the many types of saluki and the sloughi hay, where did this one your talking about come from? always willing to learn

[Paid 935]

Sloughi are short haired and heavyer boned

[Guest mush]

Yes but you did get smooth and feathered show sloughis at one time in the same litters in France, but they culled them. you also get smooth salukis and feathered ones.

[Paid 935]

Of course they are simular breeds, the Saluki was mainly kept by the Bedouin and the sloughi by the Berber's, france controled areas where both breeds ranged, so some cross breeding isnt unlikely, though Saluki's as you say do come in both smooth, and feathered, Sloughi's only come in smooth. There heavyier boned, and in genral there bigger dogs.

 

Both breeds go back a few thousand years, and were developed for simular terrain, deserts, though the sloughis are from the Sahara and the saluki from the middle east.

Mush, where do you get your information from ? I owned a pure bred Beduin Saluki in the Middle East for 17 years, a completly seperate breed from the Sloughi, which is a native of North Africa; as different as a Greyhound and a Deerhound in the West, and not a "new breed " by any means.

Cheers.

Sloughis,..

Honestly,..what is it that makes guys keep on looking for the Holy Grail

Every few months some silly fecker looks through a dog book and sees a hairy womble or some other critter that takes his fancy,.and SUGGEST,..'this would make a good cross to produce a lurcher',..

Well,.I'm all for experimenting,.but,.LOOKS alone don't contribute anything to a lurcher mix...

I've lived with the various Bedouin Tribes in North Africa,..I've also hunted with various nomadic folk throughout the Middle East,.and the Sloughi ( and it's hybrid cousins) are fair old critters. Big silly 'camel feet' but good sorts nevertheless. I think that they would be handy animals for guys that have to hunt amidst awkward terrain,.but they are not in the same league as quality bred Salukis. Few hunters in the UK are desperate for food and 90% hunt for fun. That being said,.I am a profit hunter and only kill for ££££..so maybe I will wack some Sloughi blood into my collie hybrids,...

All the best to all hunters,.Salam Alaikum...
