you need good stuff to make good stuff,with the x,s the pure sals just do it for me ,i like the challange the way they work ,yhe history of the breed , i suppose if not carefull it becomes obsesive ..lol
and i see room for inprovement with the stuff in the u/k and further afield and it keeps me out of the boozer !!
some x stuff now have better detailed pedigrees than any pure and can go back up to 10 gens of working stuff no tmnay salukis can do that stuff what you seen . but i wish you all luck with them.
