The problem is terrier's don't know how to quit once they are wound up, we had an incident out on a walk on the local beach with my Saluki bitch and the Bedlington bitch. The Salukis were playing hard like salukis do when the bedlington bitch decided she was to join in she nip the Salukis bitch who responded by nailing the terrier to put her back in her place (as the Saluki is top bitch in my pack) and left it at that. The problem was the Terrier wound up by this point kept going back at the Saluki, each time the terrier launched at her she caught the terrier by the neck or chest I roared

They are both looking absolutely spot on!

:oops: That should of been feeding not finding,lol. I understand your conserns about her going without at this age, which is why I was asking what you are feeding something like chicken carcass or lamb breast would give the most from little quantity.

I don't agree that she is wrong in the head, they are just very different dogs to typical western descent lurcher's in their mind set. Try to deal with issues the instant they arise, don't allow yourself to get frustrated over period and 'loose it' with her better to be sharp with her in an instance and be able to turn it off just as quick and pal up again just as quickly. Stick at it and get her working and I guarantee she will come good plenty of work is the key with both issues coupled with a little more discipline IMO. Try not to fuss over the eating issues if she does not eat when

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble, top and bottom of it is she wants to do more rather going back home from what you say . But at the same time you can let her dictate terms to you so meet in the middle. You do more with her giving her what she is craving but she must toe the line. Personally I'd boss her into the van it's fine line between being firm enough to get message through and palling up with the instant she does as you ask. When I boss mine they come running straight to me to try to a appease me this what you are looking for IMO if you are overly harsh they will avoid you.

He's certainly looking well, I'm looking forward to hearing how you get on with him. Best of luck! Regards Mark

Should your interest hold for a few more years I'll keep you in mind when I have a litter on the go.

If ever there was a dog to fill you with confidence to run it on any ground the Saluki is it IMHO.

Pure saluki's, intelligent and durable.

Here a few more old pics

We see a lot of climbers up Glen Doll, its stunning up there very dramatic.

Show me a running dog better able to cope with rough terrain than the Saluki types.

Thats exactly what I thought Tomo , seems a tad excessive to me.

I have to have control as i live on a sporting estate it's either be able to control them or keep them on leads and I hate using leads. Their (my Saluki's) biggest downfall (and failing by me) is the attitude toward other dogs in certain situations they will not tolerate boisterous high energy dogs and will a very harsh lesson in how to behave in their presence. Meg is 9 now how time flies eh? She was just a daft pup when you saw her, I still have Kit (her uncle) he is 12 now he only manages bumbling the half mile or down to farm track at the back of our cottage for his daily swim, doesn

Here are a few from earlier in the year. And few from the other side of the same glen.

Swag, I didn't head out with any intentions of running anything considering it's July, quite the opposite, I go up there purely for that feel good factor I get from being well exercised and finding the kind of solitude you really can't get anywhere else these days, I can walk all day up there and never see another soul.

The pups are looking great, the merle is looking plenty racey enough. Best of luck with them.

If there was ever a place on earth worthy of being called heaven on earth this has to be it. I've spent some time is walking in wales as a child with my parents and I agree its equally as beautiful Macsen. Tomo there are one or two mountain rabbits up there but I try to keep the dogs in close enough so that I can stop them. Cause come the winter accidents might happen despite my best intentions. Here are few more;

4:30am we set off to beat the heat of the sun for initial steep climb. ^Farouq at the bottom of the hills searching for any movement. ^Teasle protending to be a sighthound, ready to run down anything that moves, lol. ^A few of the locals Scottish black face and Red grouse . ^Farouq looking back where we had walked up, just incase we had missed something. Rooney looking windswept and interesting. Meg having a rest above the Loch. ^ Ameerah posing. ^farouq on the move. ^Farouq spots something.

Unbelievable!!

Smart bedlingtons, I'm very fond of the Bedlingtons and their crosses as well as my Salukis. Your Saluki bitch is a stunner and like poacher says in fantastic shape. Good see you've been open minded enough to allow the bitch to show you her abilities on small fields, Saluki's are far from the one trick ponies people assume they are. Miles, She's very like like the bitch I bred isn't she?

You wouldn't mind if they lived by their principles each to their own and all that, but they are more than likely happy to take advantage of leather shoes, timber furniture etc whilst preaching this sort of crap.

:wacko: This is what we are up against!! I mourn for the plants bugs they have sat on.

The pups are looking well lads!

jesus ,it left the whippet standing ,and did'nt look to be trying lol Aye, but in fairness, I've seen quicker whippets! I've a 23" Saluki bitch here that can and does stay ahead of anyone of our lurchers but she wouldn't get a look in against a typical performance bred whippet over a short distance. Assuming she didn't nail the whippet before it got away from her.
