I have seen some decent dogs with it in their makeup mainly on hare and roe but overall that breed has to many negatives for me and my needs and wants from a dog. A big reason I am not keen is the saluki gene is very dominant so no mater how little saluki is in there when they are bred to something else with a trace in their makeup they seem to throw feathered plodders which doesn't tick any plus box's for what I want and would make the line a dead end for me.
Maurice he was just a young dog in this picture he tracked both those bucks on his own, I remember the night well I think it was 2009 . Bess was obviously there but wasn't involved in tracking them she was there for different quarry, she was a regular photo bomber

This lot came home in a renault laguna with the seats down and a bed sheet covering them it was a tight squeeze to get them in but they went in 2012 rut I think but could be a year out either way.

The smaller chaps provide some brilliant running to watch into Jan and Feb they finish the season off a treat, a nice change for the dogs from the fallow bucks.
Well if daytime was my thing I would not be trying to get my dog fit in January I would want it fit, sharp, ready for January and well before, I would also be getting it fit and conditioned sports specific so to speak JMO
