good post ive ran cross,s and now pures each dog is different even my two pures are chalk and cheese the dogs eager and willing to learn,the bitch more stand offish and moody. i train both differently and find patience is the key,and putting them in the situation where they learn the lesson themselves,and agree with snoopdog the man behind the dogs the key,me i dont like bull crosses but thats just me,dont belive all the hype on salukis being thick either,if they cant see the point in something they wont do it,teaching them the points the knack,jmo atb mc
