KittleRox 2,147 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Collie was bred to take instruction, and very good at it they are indeed ,they can turn their hand to most canine tasks and do very well at jobs other dogs were bred to do, but doing very well is fine but it wont reach the heights of dogs bred for a specific purpose, On the other hand a saluki is bred just to catch, thats all, not take instruction or jump through hoops for anyone, its intelligence is in its ability to catch, it just knows how to do it better than other breeds, have to disagree casso, surely a collie type which can take instruction or as I like to put it "subtle direction " and use its own initiative when needed and work with you as part of a team will surely CATCH more, therefore how can a saluki type outclass any other breed, you,ve said it yourself above a saluki has been bred for a specific purpose, i.e. point and slip not what I would class as a LURCHER 1 Quote Link to post
chartpolski 20,718 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 But wasnt the collie crosses knockin over the hares before the saluki even came along????? The ppl i know from down the years they certinly have been for them atb walshy you know people from before the saluki came along eh ? they must be gettting on a bit All depends on your comprehension of "getting on a bit" !! LOL !!.......... Theres still quite a few of us in the game that owned and ran "Lurchers", before the Saluki became popular. Cheers. 3 Quote Link to post
