I breed best worker to worker, never mind coat" ! Fair play !! Cheers.

chartpolski 20,585 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Talking about a "Kurdish" is a bit like talking about a Minshaw, or a Plummer ! Saluki's are a breed in the middle east, but different tribes have different dogs !! Some areas they are smooth, other areas they are well hairy !! Your "Taigan" "Sloughi" "Azawak", etc are from the same Bedu breeds !! If you spoke Arabic; Saluki and Sloughi are the same thing !! I'm not knocking the pure Arabic Saluki, in fact I think we need more of them here, but lets not make them into some mythical beast !! Cheers. Quote Link to post
Meerihunter 7 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thats a lovely stamp of a Saluki, with a great jacket on it as others have said. Not long to wait now, it'll soon come round! Quote Link to post

Cheers. people from one tribe aren't going to turn down the use of a top hunting saluki from anther tribe just because it may have longer hair or shorter, if it can do well at what a hunting saluki is meant to do their going to use it, its only show people who bred for looks and everyting bred has to look the same.
