Not a dig here t c, but is it only competetive coursers that used saluki x's rather than deerhound x's? As I'm pretty sure that many people prefer deerhound/greyhound rather than saluki/greyhound, for a bit of everything including taking hares, when it was legal. Not everyone wants 'the best' hare dog ever, or a dog that can do 5 or 6 minutes behind a hare 4, 5 or 6 times a day ?
