Evening all,
I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
 
What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
 
Go stead,
oshea 

Help Required as to ancestry /history of my saluki /Greyhound. 
I have just lost my dog of a lifetime to cancer, she was 11/12 yrs old.I am truly heartbroken. 
I'm not a hunter,but have always loved sight hounds in particular salukis.
My dog Fern was a very distinguishable sighthound ,her colouring alone a mutated dilute. Was quite a show stopper. I'd have people literally stopping cars to ask what she was as she held herself well and looked awesome. 
She was Steel and tan with a white butterfly on chest. White tips on feet. 
Fur like velvet and shone.
A glamourous looking dog.
She passed through I believe 5 lurcher men before coming to me age around 4 yrs. 
I had her 8 yrs. 
I have  sketchy details of her young life and know she was initially used as a racing dog and then a lampers dog. Until she hurt her spine and broke a toe.  
Fern was born around 2009,lived in North East England (Northumberland).
I believe she had two litters of puppies (do you have one?)
Lived Winlaton, Mickley,Prudhoe , Ryton, Greenside, Horsley.
I believe her father (sire) may of being khan jihad. 
I believe her mother (dam) was a steel greyhound and was a Irish coursing champion.  
Does anyone know who that might be?
Who bred Fern?
Does her heritage fit time scale wise?
I would dearly love to know as I said, totally in bits at her loss. 
I just want to try and recreate her or seek out someone who might be able too from same lineage. 
Whilst I'm not a hunter, I turned Fern from huntress to helper in that I used her skills and abilities to bring deer out to me to photograph, as I'm a professional photographer. We were quite a team. 
I just loved everything about that girl.
Thanks for any help received.
 
 

What in your opinions would be the best thing to breed a deerhound/greyhound to but still looking to keep size and speed just something nice to throw into the mix or even more greyhound what do you lot think?...
Cheers

What do people reckon to a pure greyhound brought on from a pup ?
