Minuses - Poor feet, hard to train, nervous, look gay...................REALLY?My very first lurcher was a saluki composite,nervous and gay?Methinks NOT!In fact the cute little silver beddie cross I have now looks a darn sight more effeminate than the powerhouse the saluki cross was Her feet were fine running in northern england and scotland,and she wasnt so hard to train,but that could have been the amount of time I put into her seeing as she was my first dog and I had John Holmes(not the porn star)Book "The Obedient dog" as my training bible,one thing though,INCREDIBLE jumper
