jamie1011 5 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 boyo in ther day the were good but not as good as my saluki lurcher to lurcher on hares , but as an allround dog they are good and a good place to further your cross, and well if you sold them all fair play but ive saw better lurcher to lurcher , for hares, than my first cross but i never got him for hares ,any way you will sell them as there no wastage most are good enough for most guys , but what i notice as they never boxed hares never hedged them ,some through lite like a saluki and were not powerful enough for me at times , but good enough and some were not as fast as others in the litter ,there good dogs for sure but not as good as purpose bred winner to winner thats been bred to catch hares ,if you course and have had good saluki type bred for the job then you see your first cross youll see the diffrence i did ,mind you i lamped and coursed mines ,the best dogs have always been saluki lurcher proven one to proven bitch , stands to reason ffs whin your doing it again stop slagging the mans stuff .. and yours is better !!!! give the man credit for producing a genuine litter of f1 sal greys ,the man never said they were coursing pups ,or world beeters , but they are well bred , they should be a good x in the right hands .and if we all knew the secret of breeding wold beeteres weed be doing it !!good luck to you boyo , agree with all you said there mate spot on especially the first bit. whin if you dont mind me asking have you ran your dogs against most on here as you always seem to think your dogs are at the top. good luck boyo hope they go well for you Quote Link to post

poacher3161 1,766 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 All i can say those who think a f1x saluki/grey could ever be in the same leauge as some of the lurcher to lurcher bred coursing types have not seen or done enough i am afraid .Wernt it plummer who once boasted he could produce dogs to beat the known strains.Saying that a good f1x cross will take a variaty of game one i had out of the ginger haired rouges dog luke wich incidently imo was not a pure saluki caught every thing from fallow to pheasents but out and out coursing dogs they were definately not.
