Now the monies gone in em in the uk id wager theres an improvement albeit gradual, but I daresay an improvement will come sooner rather than later, I know for sure theres mote fresh blood on its way over I know of at least four that are imminent arrivals, remixing of old establised lines will also contribute too improvement as well

Brigawn sire to sniper forley cup winner

Consider the sheer amount of coursing lurchers bred and the amount of established lines too choose from, how many go on to make true top class? Saluki genepool lot smaller maybe much as 90% smaller, not many own them, even less prepared to match or run them in company, most bought on a whim then sold on as failure, grim picture, but hey its proven the odd diamond does pop up now and again

One of if not the best bitches in this country at present is 50% pure saluki , said saluki being son of jihad khan, buddy x pure saluki litter lennie on black, lacy , big money dogs, nuttals casper 50% pure saluki, theres just a few examples of why its important to keep some working saluki stock,
-
thats the one bolio i remember the litter now

These uk lines have produced some decent enough stock over the years, nellie star bill fred cruise etc so theres no reason it cannot happen again good luck running addiction

Starting From Scratch With No Foundation Coursing Stock
arcticgun replied to Silversnake's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
He was around two when he chanced on one daytime, so plenty cock sure of himself by that age, he dominant by nature, so soon as it nipped him he upped his game and ended it, he not as direct in his style on em as my coursing bred, but wont refuse one, will actively chase em to ground and try dig down too em, loves hunting em too many force young dogs on to stuff before they mentaly ready too up the stakes quarry wise, better let em find there own feet imho, old saying dont send boys too do mens jobs -
Starting From Scratch With No Foundation Coursing Stock
arcticgun replied to Silversnake's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
The general consensus that the saluki are soft, some what baffles me mate, ive found the reverse , mines done very well on reds, its not really a contest especially on lamp, they outweigh the fecker faster fitter better fed etc, think its down too getting right saluki line, my dogs sire n dam where used for protecting live stock on small holdings farms etc in south africa, as well as sport and coursing etc, they not shy or skitty types, good sound head on em as well, physically ive found him sound as a pound plenty of rips tears etc all shrugged off, ran last two years with badly damaged flex -

Dont knos a lot about oz but am sure most of itvwide open spaces sk big they simply cannot be policed even by passer by type sneak grasses, you lucky man if theres loadsa hares, if it where me I would start with pure saluki, good wind feet confirmation etc then half cross to greyhound then 3/4 sal grey , place that size law would be last thing on my mind for sure if import laws tight or costly sperm straws way to go as maxh says plenty greys out their to put em into -
annie ran in forley as well, think her kennel name was anniia of the nile or summat like that, I know she had a litter to jihad khan

polite as ever I see

coursing aussie hares likely a saluki would do the job , not like its cold where they come from, well in the day anyhow, maybe a bit greyhound into mix as well -
make sure they empty before ya go out pal, or ya might end up over handle bars lol
-
maybe just feed the gain 20 and raw mince pal, the meat will provide the extra protein needed maybe the 28 and meat to high, also try bit codliver oil in food or maybe a garlic capsule

glands and genes always the same excuses the fatties roll out, its never plain simple old greed and lack of will power, funny these glands and genes don't seem to affect people in famine areas, of course its nowt to do with the amount of food they shovel down there necks al day, nor will it be to do with the woeful lack of will power, the inability to walk past gregs and not to pop in for half the cream cakes imho its almost akin to mental illness, does my feckin head in hearing em whinging about it whilst shovelling chips down there necks , cost the tax payer a fortune as well,
-
fair play to all the lads involved , normally money could not buy this sort of breeding, a real chance for someone to own a class bred dog and do some good as well,
-
gotcha pal, would not mind a male meself this year , keep us posted as to how ya get on,best of luck in your search,
-
you better waiting and taking a young un now pal, any for sale will be someone elses mess up, worse screaming you can imagine pal, start afresh and unless you 100% at imprinting maybe go with parent rear instead
-
could go a step further and say all dogs are wolves originaly
-
Think KT owned it and it was called Bill iirc, could be wrong though
-
was there not a full litter brother to fred in north east? I seen vid footage of wilburs saluki including Nellie and star, I would give my left arm for one like that,

Being kennel blind never improves any breed however me better than I have in my kennels and I would be first in line to use said dog or take pup from a bitch.theres a pocket of sucessful new blood thats raising the bar performance and kill wise , some of thebnew blood however is not see running and they wont share it either, not that anyone would use it unless it beennseennon field. Be a shame if no one ran em , then they become show dogs or pets, no use too anyone then.
