fitchet 788 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 As above i was speaking to a lad yesterday with a pure saluki pup. We were chatting and i asked why did he go for a pure and he said why did i go for a saluki/grey and what benefits did the greyhound bring. So as far as i singlehanded fen dog goes why the greyhound ?? Atb Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 them feathered ears would blinker it when running with a tail wind unless watered down with a bit of grey Quote Link to post
fitchet 788 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 A saluki has more than enough speed for a fenland hare. It also has an inbuilt instinct on how to use it. Im looking forward to seeing this pup run on my land and seeing the qualitys a pure sal has. 1 Quote Link to post

Don't listen to them mate, if your dogs lack speed add a % of grey, If they lack wind add saluki. 2 Quote Link to post
