the pashmi caravan hounds are bred from greyhounds taken over by the british raj to India in the 19 th century they have no saluki in them and were crosses of grey with gully dogs which are the Asian equivelent of mongrels they have no saluki in them.

exactly my point nothing whatsoever to do with the saluki

The Pasmi of today are mainly bred down from the Greys from Raj times and Afghan hounds.

I know nothing of salukis and have been told that some lack of brains and can be dumb and heard if people being put off the breed and saliki x's because of this, but on the other hand I hav seen some collie x's that are daft as brushes and not the cleverest I like the thought of a little saluki in a cross although I don't own one, but my next pup I think I'm going to go for that little bit of saluki

the so called stupidity can and often is , mistaken for high intelegance, . grossly misunderstood by alot of folk ..challanging , conflict of wills .certainly not for the inpatient

 

quote in red: I take it that this was a slip of the pen, so to speak, but very true all the same.

 

Not saying that there aren't bad ones, seen a few, same as in any type, but most have been grossly misunderstood. Just because its a dog breed, a lot of people seem to think that a dog is a dog is a dog, and all must be treated the same. NOT!

 

Remember talking to one bloke years ago: said he'd tried to teach it to retrieve: threw a ball, dog wouldn't pick it up, so he didn't bother again, and classed it as a non-retriever. FFS! Same thing with recall: just because a dog doesn't come to you when you call doesn't mean it is stupid. Dogs to whom the hunt is everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, aren't going to just stop doing that because some tw*t calls them back, especially when historically there's seldom been any need for the dog to evolve to be recalled just for the hell of it.

 

Salukis just aren't a domesticated animal in the sense we know it: I love that feral attitude, but it does create challenges to those that can't think outside the box when it comes to training.

 

some excellent points on this thread, Skycat your secnd paragraph and final sentence says it all for me personaly, in a way they the same as workign with falcons and hawks , ultimately you both want the same thing , quarry in the bag, but only byy working in harmony and with great understanding from us can we share this with this type of hunting with our chosen animal, well in a stress free way lol hope this makes sense. The saluki been doing its thing for generations its a big ask for it to change what works for i, to suit us and our understanding of them, maybe better they go to people who understand em in first instance

rich , people overcomplicate the job , keep it simple . if they want a circus dog thatll do tricks , a sheepdog would be more suited to that ..salukis are hunting dogs thats what they do best

[Paid 935]

One thing to remember is that salukis, in there home lands, vary greatly, and cover such a vast area of differing terrain, they are not all from the desert and range over most of asia. They are used on game from rabbit, to wolf. So there is a bit of variety out there.

salukis have been around for approx 6,000 years , so they stood the test of time as a hunting dog and companion. if you think you cant handle one leave it to those who can .. ..saves alot of greif for the dog being passed on

The post of the century!!

Nearly as good as your contribution to the thread

keeping it simple often overcomplicates it though, don't it mate same old threads year in year out, 'Marmite' dogs, more a case of 'shame Ma did' in most cases, Im sort of pleased the bottoms dropped out of the market nowadays, give it a few years and there should be something worth having about, something more consistent, see what come sof that 30 odd year they be ruined as well, still be more about 'da money'
