A Lot of people seem to think salukis and there crosses are slow and every run, on the fens, is a war of attrition between hare and hound Look at this footage of my dog "Cream" at 17 months age running at Boston before the ban. A very quick dog, straight up to his hare everytime and constant pressure................. he was 3/4 saluki and featherd As a wise old man on here states........................ALL the best to ALL crosses Quote Link to post
