ive had the pleasure to see pure salukis doing what they were bred for , there was no money mentioned big money fens etc over by in usa every days coursing i came away with the feeling there are good ones out there as the black tailed jack rabbit is no slouch, saw maybe three single handed dogs every trip out there hunting ,they were up with the best sightound crosses ,but very hard to get, from just breeding saluk to saluk take years to get top class saluks ,this big money thing has ruined alot of coursing, dog thieving , money coming first ,etc has produced more peddlars and dog theiving ,yo
