They used to be quite popular, especially for lamping, about 20-30 years ago, and seem to be getting so again. @ morton, I agree with what you say, it's just that our bitch has thrown greyhoundy, but has been easy to train, has a deerhoundy laid back nature, and is very quick off the mark and very very fast, with very good stamina She's quite a gentle soft natured sort, but can get into the no nonsense attitude in an instant, when she needs to, so she has everything we wanted, and if we breed from her in a couple of years time it'll be with the same x and type as her, there'll be no saluki,
