Not bred for brains? The saluki or highly saluki saturated dogs are far from brain dead. They will kill game where most lurchers won't by boxing its game off cover and back out into the open reading and watching every move there game makes they will step out of line and run up the side of them and put them were they want the game not where the game wants to be they are a very intelligent dog
The lads on here are taking piss out of you mate, that's how they get there kicks. Just have a look on google maps and find somewhere you think will be suitable and give it ago trial and error. Good luck
Who mentioned line breeding what I'm saying is there's no set rules for wether the pups are going to throw more to the dam or more to the sire and that the pups are going to have the physical performance of the sire and the mental attributes of the dam as the op stated thats aload of shit.
i think alot of your theorys are aload of shit 50/50 60/40 etc each mating will be different and every pup is an individual to come up with these ideas is utter bollox
are there any lads buying them to fetch down here to run the fens and big land? be intresting to see how they get on, i wish you all the best with them cracking litter
