Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 This is what another member posted, not typed myself... The merlin and eve line was first started with fly and toby (the hoover) flys dam was a pure saluki and her sire a broken coated lurcher dog, toby was bred off a saluki x bedlington x greyhound dog to a saluki greyhound bitch. when fly and toby were mated together they produced merlin. eve's breeding started with a first cross saluki greyhound called blue owned by frank bramely, blue was mated with a bitch called dawn a saluki greyhound x deerhound x greyhound, blue x dawn produced a bitch called gypsy who was then lined with a pure saluki called prince which produced eve. merlin x eve produced dogs such as swoop, tess, rooster, hawkeye, lady and maisy.

I have never worked a saluki before anyone got any tips for me please thanks! :-) KEEP HUNTINGWelcome As said merl and eve ain't pure but tbh that will and should suit you more. Pure are very limited and I'll take a jump and say 99% the time you will always get a better dog once crossed out. Saluki have alot to offer in a running dog and once hybrid you get a more all round animal. Take you time with training and recall recall recall and recall with these types get it concreted into there heads. They don't like being man handled they really thrive off praise re enforcement and give them plenty of exercise. Most who don't do much with them generally have more problems. They have a high drive to hunt but also a large battery to try drain mentally and physically. Get this right and your have an obiediant responsive mutt in the field that should run till the cows come home. Hope that helps 1 Quote Link to post
