can see where your coming from with lurcher to lurcher but and its a big but work out how many of the lurcher to lurcher saluki type are bred in a year. thousands and only the odd one or two make it as really top class .compare it to how many genuine first cross are bred in a year not many at all in fact they are quite rare so you can never compare them on a fair percentage wise .and lets be honest boys cos ive seen it myself over the years a lot of saluki x saluki crosses are useless and dont make it same as any other cross of lurcher.
