pure saluki

[chris 78 1]

well like i said in the first place ...will be interesting to see how these pures do this season.......i got a feeling it will only be a very small percentage will actually get run week in week out and then in another years time it will be saluki fooking galore on here ....pups allover the place off untried and untested dogs.....at least theres one thing it will bring the price down..... .........

pup's all over mate i dont think so let's be real mate there is a very small number of saluki owners on here and the ones i talk to are not in the coursing game to breed pup's to make a quick buck,they are passionate about there sport,the price of saluki's are high for a reason,to stop them getting in to the wrong hands, IMO there will never be as many unproven saluki's as there is bullx's and the like's,im not knocking these breeds but they are realy over bred.but thats just my opinion.

youve got it you dont se pure salukis geting passed around like bullxs

The price may well be high, but they do sell , I think the people that buy them in general do put a fair bit of thought into it (as well as money) and tend to be older, more patient, and less likely to pass the dog on, I'll wager not as many of them will end up in pounds compared to bullx's and other lurchers. Mine will never be passed/sold on, because she will be bought on right and will serve her purpose, atb Richard

Ive seen three or four young salukis in the for sale section in the last six months so no I Don't agree with you, just because some one has the money don't make them a good owner. The only thing it may stop is youngster getting a saluki and then changing their mined the next month and wanting a bull cross.

[twoface14 1]

I usually run 4 to 6 times a week many of the saluki folk run once a month so theres some truth in that. The guys who are really hardcore out here mostly run saluki x greys. But as I said in an earlier post there are some good imported desertbred bloodlines out here, so we have dogs with the potential to be stars. I think the thing for me is I dont like chases that dissapear over the horizon. Out here in the open desert a saluki can run a hare for 5 miles until its exhausted then kill it. I expect my dogs to start turning it within a 1/4 mile, some of my chases go a couple of miles but it back and forth running. Most of the hares I run are caught before the point of exhaustion, those that escape find cover or go down holes.

Next season I will try and get out more and watch some salukis run maybe I will change my tune then.

what you have to remember is there all types of salukis in their home lands for hunting different quarry so you need to get the right type fore the job. You would be surprised what a good saluki in the right hands can do .

i bred a litter last year and sold some of the pups to some real good lads that are members on here , i originally was keeping just one , but i changed my mind and kept 2 as i was so impressed with them , and they are forever astounding me with there intelligence , i also have a similar age saluki x puppy and to be honest hes the hardest work of the 3 pups , he whines like no tomorrow hes soft as shite and his recalls appaulling but i know ill get there in the end with him , the male saluki pup i got (Ali) hes been here before hes just so easy to train and laid back as for them running around and stuff they seem pretty fast to me especially the bitch(sami) shes really quick , as quick as any lurcher puppy ive ever had

youve got it you dont se pure salukis geting passed around like bullxs

you no why they dont get passsed around like bull x.s because who ever bought it (the pure saluki )proberly paid anything from 500 nicker upwards..and if it didnt make the grade they would sell it or still breed from it ......because they dont want to lose the large amount of money they bought it for in the first place.....so being high priced isnt always a good thing . .....the well bred saluki x,s can be big money too ....and the same can go for them ....its really a case of who,s got em ...and are the prepared to get the dog neutered and not breed from the dog or bitch if it dosent make the grade......i may of come across anti saluki.....which is far from the case .....what i am agaisnt is breeding for money when the dog or bitch is unproven........lets see what happens in the next couple of seasons.....iam looking foward to reading about those what are doing 2.s and 3.s week in week out .....then they might be somthing worth breeding from.....iam thinking i wont be hearing about many ..but will still see alot of pups......

[Meerihunter 7]

Thats how I find Salukis as well Shaddow, mine are just as fast as anyone of our lurchers and to me far easier to handle, I've always found my SalukiXs to be more difficult in that respect.

Killing hares is'nt the only test of Salukis, there is plenty more to Salukis than point and slip coursing.

the price of saluki's are high for a reason,to stop them getting in to the wrong hands

There are several different types being run here in New Mexico. We have Kazak Tazis, desertbred Arabian Salukis, show types and I think some Kurdish types. Part of the problem is the core of the Saluki community is a bunch of fifty year old women who dont run their dogs as much as they should. I have judged at coursing meets and had to deal with them I found them very bitchy and didnt like the way they left dead hares all over the place. Using the game you catch is serious principle for me and that didnt sit well with me.

I would probably be more favourable to salukis if I didnt have to deal with their owners.

you may have a point there :laugh:

with you there, if you kill something you should use it if you can even if its just to feed the dogs on.
