    gday, on another thread they showed this dogs show real. some of the starts he looks like his in a handicap race his that far out of the box compared to the rest of the dogs. now would that have been a learned trick? like something you could teach/learn off another dog/s? or was it just some quirk of genetics that his reflexs are that much quicker than the dogs he was racing against.

    he looks like he was excited about getting his first single rabbit in the day.

    it comes down to genetics, both codes of hounds will produce dogs with high and low drives, you breed from the right line of track dogs with proven genes the result will be as good as anything from average coursing bred lines a lot of coursing bred lines tend to be powerhouses of dogs with plenty of muscle mass, bred to give maximum speed over a relativly short distance, ideal for what it does, but may not be as supple a animal as what is needed to breed into something expected to run a bunny 20 or 30 times a night,,But for running bigger stuff maybe what you need,, remember they have be

    the've only been banned a couple of years. the last winner of the waterloo cup is probably still alive. plus you could get one from ireland. i think the lady from the "coursing diary" was telling me they breed 5,000 coursing greyhounds in ireland a year. ranging in cost for pups from around a 1,000 euro upto whatever you wanted to pay (5/6,000 for a stakes winners pup). only about 1/2 doz make any stake money, so there must be tons of retiring coursers or sapplings who didnt make the grade kicking about suitable for breeding or waiting to patiently to be turned into hunting dogs. id love

    think your right there tomo The Bull Arab was developed in the 1970s by Mike Hodgens, and is a cross between a Bull Terrier, Greyhound, and English Pointer or Shorthaired Pointer (dog breeds).[1] Originally they were 50% Bull Terrier with the other two parts being German Shorthaired Pointer and Greyhound however over the years Bloodhound and English Pointer was added. Some bloodlines have mastiff type breeds too. yeah i couldnt remember i thought it was a hound but maybe i was reading about the introduction of the bloodhound. anyway old mate was saying you c

    depends who ye know, but i widnae be paying thousands for a pup of any breeding mate yeah fair enough. it was a bit of a how long is a piece of string question. but when you read about dogs getting sold at the forley cup for a zillion pounds you have to wonder what one of their pups is worth?

    what's its name cl? im from australia. we dont have working saluki's here. i dont want to know exactly what you paid coz thats a bit rude. but i was just wondering would a match dog with that quality bloodlines(i mean we've even heard of foxy down here) cost in the hundreds or thousands?
  12. roodog
    no saluki. the way it was explained to me was, that one of the blokes who had them first. wanted a flash name to go after the "bull". im not sure but i think money was a big infulence. he had a doberman in the yard called "arab"....so the arab bit comes from an unrelated doberman just to sell a few more pups. incidentely his line that he is selling now has the catchy handle of "bull enduro's"

    the pig dog they all love is the "bull arab" which is a bullyXgreyXsome sort of hound. they have been tinkering with them for ages, but im pretty sure thats how they started. go pig hunting if you can. nothing like wrestling something that weighs 100kg.
  14. roodog
    and bidablity, what was that i read about saluki only hunting for themselves. i reckon you would catch more game having one of both, than two of either or two of the cross's. the champion team vs the team of champions

    why is "r.i.t.e" as in "she'll be [bANNED TEXT]" banned text?
  16. roodog
    A touch more speed, IMO thats all the Grey is offering to the Saluki in reality. The greyhound is all speed and drive nowadays everything else that once made it a genuine hunting dog has been sacrificed for speed. The Saluki is a hunting dog with speed, drive, stamina, running sense and durability in balanced package. Yeah there are going to be extreme cases with good and bad at either end of both Saluki's and Grey's, but the whole you could spend life time looking for greyhound with just the feet for hunting let alone the other qualities needed for a dog to be consistently effective
