Interesting point that db. Young pup i have now, she is 4 month old, nearly full saluki, she does not take well to being held firm round the neck and will take offense!, however, if i growl sharp, she reacts far better and listens. Another time, out with full saluki lamping, he seen a rabbit in the beam, but too far off, i turned the lamp off and he went to bite me to get off, i slipped him, so as not to get too stressed, he ran down the beam and brought the rabbit back out in the field and caught it....
No i am not saying that is the way, just my experience with them so far.
