WHY ?

[KittleRox 2,147]

Why add saluki, bull etc surely the collie has enough attitude wind to do the job ?

[mattythelamper 73]

Saluki is the dog for the stamina

[KittleRox 2,147]

so the collie hasn,t enough ?

It possibly does,but a Saluki adds to a coursing dog and whilst im no fan of bull crosses,good ones will take some beating at their chosen sport,each to their own preference.

i have a soft spot for collie crosses but on preban hares prefered saluki lurcher cross collie lurcher as opposed to a 3/4 grey/1/4 collie which i have owned and seen a fair few run. found the saluki collie lurcher better in the wind department and better feet while retaining bidability. these dogs were run on big open fields ie wheat stubble fields.

Sapose every1 has there own opinions! Seen a few full salukis run and saluki xs run and seemed to lack that extra gear they preferd to stick with the hare as the 3/4 grey xs seem to be an up at um type puttin them under pressure but can also stick if they need to. Sapose aslong as they catch is all that maters ey? Atb walshy

That possibly came from the Greyhound side of the breeding,whilst a working Border,s feet are nearly second to none,the Saluki runs it very close.

I would,nt like to say that the Saluki as better feet than a Border,mind you,i would,nt like to say a Border as better feet than a Saluki.Both breeds probably have had the biggest influence on lurchers and have added more to the mix than any other,two worthy additions to a lurcher.
