salukis

[cassshantia 16]

hi to all the saluki men out there

just a quick question for you in a minute ------ ive had lurchers

for over 15 yrs and been of mixed variety but all have the same

coursing techniques ie run down beam or straight to rab or hare

pre ban of course)and try to catch it as quick as poss so you get a good

long /short hard working dog snapping at their heels which the thrill

for me is far greater than a dog which runs its quarry till its on it

last legs like the saluki , yes they have great stamina but

in my eyes it gets me why peope enjoy the running of these dogs

as they hardly ever snap and take their quarry in full flight

on the dvd s or vids you see the hares is about fucxxx

i know a long course is good to see but when its working

it like a shepherd dog ,rounding it up between hedges etc till it

drops is not for me

put a light on this job please or your preferences to any

of you out there with longdogs / lurchers

not for an arguement please cheers gibbo

i like salukis but i agree with you i dont like a dog that sits behind the hare waiting for it to turn or to get tired.i like a dog on the hares arse putting it under pressure and working it.just my opinion

[cassshantia 16]

found it , i know its coursing but you have to enjoy it surely

also im not on about flying up and tare arsing about i just

think putting its quarry under pressure to make a mistake then

striking it is far more a test for quarry than running it to its

last breathe

its called coursing mate no enjoyment for me watching a dog just flying up to somthing early wheres the sport in it just my opinion

each to there own mate like to watch good run myself as you said not to argue t.d

[cassshantia 16]

each to their own rio hog but comments like that is not my game

all i want is an answer not piss taking comments like yours

wished it was that easy try running your dogs in scotland not big fields here to course for minutes at a time here and most no there runs thanks t.d

i think a lot of it is horses for courses some of the fen stickers ive seen would struggle on the smaller feilds to stay with the hare but tbh come in to their own on the big fen i suppose that the ideal is a fast good mouth dog that can stay on a sticker the ideal dog i suppose but theres not that many about that have got it all.

weres all the dvds and videos of there types of dogs you on about so i can see if i like what i see to have a judgement of them seen one with fasty types of dogs looked like the stuff was just out there beds and didnt no what was going on think they were even throwing stuff at them to get them up just my opinion lol

[riohog 5,893]

theve been about for 4 to 6ooo years think it speeks for itself as a hunting hound yes they do have a different style to others .but hehy not many dogs can run 2 0r3 miles at 30 odd mph to catch a desert gazzell not many deserts in the uk right enough .. unless you go to eastanglia ..lol not many gazzell either but tell me another dog pure or x that can deal with winter hares on big land and do it constantly ..answer my friend .....the ..saluki

[lord of the longdogs 9]

not every saluki or x runs a hare till its fecked iv done them in small fields aswell

we have a big saluki dog and absolute character and beautiful to look at but i dont rate him YET!! he may change over the next year or so (Coming up to 3). he would be ideal as a fen dog but he never seems to try consistently

 

he wont hunt up

 

he wont retrieve

 

he wont mark sets

 

he is a tail biter if his quarry has teeth

 

he isnt easy to kennel up with other dogs

 

he can run all day but my gundogs do that

 

his recall is ok and general obedience is fine we keep him because he is ok at the job and on a good day he is a pleasure to watch.But above all the family put up with his odd ways because he is such a loving dog he jut loves to be by your side we couldnt part with him (But he is the last one we will ever have)
