Tiff 36 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I've read I don't know how many posts about dogs going missing while after quarry while out on the lamp; some are found that same night, or the next morning in the same area, or miles away, or never found. What are your opinions on SalukiX's being more likely to disappear than other running dogs in similar situations? Quote Link to post

I cant imagine any circumstances where you would lose a dog lamping, if trained , If someone did lose one i would put it down to bad training by the owner and not try to blame the breed of dog,, Quote Link to post

WEll said: Saluki types especially need to have a strong bond with their owner, and that bond ain't made overnight or by giving the dog a few lumps of meat. Salukis take ages to grow up and recognise you as their leader/protector etc: the poor buggers that are passed from pillar to post don't get a chance to bond with anyone. Yes, my young Saluki types do want to hunt away and they are a pain until they grow out of that stage but by taking them out working a lot they learn to stay with you as you are the one that is showing them the game: mine work very well with terriers round cover, they ferret and although the one I have at the moment isn't a lamp dog as such: (not enough take off speed in small areas) he doesn't bugger off and if he misses a catch he's straight back.
