Imported Saluki Lines

[basil123 103]

Can any one put me i touch with a breeder of agood pure bred saluki line and is there anyone importing pure Arabian lines, I have been asked about this and don't have much of an idea,if anyone can put me in touch with someone off the saluki cup site it would be appreciated . I am only interested in pure lines not crosses . Is any one heard of or seen any good pure lines run ,the purse I have seen have not been that clever but that could be down to the men that had them. Any serious help will appreciated .atb basil

Why the need for import there is sum very good uk breed pures but as your looking try p***y p on here he got sum very well breed pures there or look on topic my 3 new saluki pups or sumthing on them line

I will have a look and the reason I asked about imports is only cos I was asked to find out about them , pure breeds are not the way I am running at he moment that's not to say I won't go that way inthe future, atb basil

a few have imported mate from Europe kennels , some even made the journey and got stock from main countries iran Iraq, Arabia etc etc , however from what I have learned over the years they have interested me is more than likely they will take your pants down and shaft ya, its more or less the same story as here in uk, loads of shit bred for coin the real deal stuff is either with extremely rich who wont and don't need to sell, or piss poor man who wont sell to ya cos he don't know ya or want too, also to consider is why would they? coin means fook all over there, plus they not that keen on us either these days , so its not a time where ya can go wandering around them places making pals to get a result,

 

its also very costly (not including the dog) and as we all know even best to best is no guarantee, I really would love to own a one from abroad and concede the need for more lines of better quality but the risk is enormous and the reward (financially) crap, six year ago I paid good money for a dog pup, going rate at time, some sold for more back then , now ya cannot sell em pal,not popular at all, but as ever there's always someone who wants em enough and will get one, seen a couple of imports run both impressed, however Ive been impressed by uk stock as well at times , Hopefully the working ability of the breed can be improved on, consistency would be the main goal, from there who knows, but its not all about hares either, they make canny allrounders, tough durable dogs, clever and gutsy hunters, great feet and stamina to last all day or night, marmite as they come lol either love em or hate em lol

Thanks arcticgun sound advice in my opinion , do u know who is breeding good quality pures that can run , I saw the pups that bill 20 mentioned and they look great and I like the colourd bitch a lot wether she can run or not it is pretty enough to have around the place just to look at. Thanks for the reply atb basil

p***y poacher of here has two bitches he might sell to right lad, you would have to speak to him about that pal, I bred and reared em, how well they will do in the future is a question I cannot honestly answer, no one can I really hope they do the business, Ive done my very best by the dog, the bitch has a history, see other threads , some shit been said about her , its not true , we happy enough with what we done and the feedback about the pups Ive had is excellent and no muppets own em so feedback genuine and encouraging so far, rest only time will tell, if theowners get half the pleasure out of em Ive had from me dog , then no one gunna be to upset, except maybe the missus when it chews the couch or eats the sunday roast

in a nutshell no one in uk can sell you a saluki that will kill 3/3 and match saluki lurchers imho ,(to be fair though a lot of lurcher litters cannot guarantee it either) however you may be able to buy a dog that's got the potential to be a good honest sporting dog with the physical attributes to become a consistent hare killer , the rest down to man behind dog and the dog itself, if ya don't try ya never get I reckon, not forgetting you can also mooch with em, lamp em, what ever ya want, better than ending up a show dog or piggy bank for some doley

Been there done that ,I lost a turkey crow a few years back to one of mine, would nt have been so bad if it hadn't been Xmas eve lol. I will pm pickey poacher tomorrow and have a chat atb basil

wherever you go in the world you will find dog peddlers , .in more recent years the the near east and middle est realised the westerner would pay big bucks , they jumped on the bandwagon , and will tell you what you want to here !! 99% of it is shite , . you got to do some serious homework and you still need a few bob ,

 

i was nearly 2 years talking, visiting, and talking to folk from all over the world before i did it

just shows what can come from properly thought out breeding mate, class litter that un for sure, if the arabs ever come to uk to buy a pure then we know we heading in right direction with em for sure,

I reckon Brookie gave me good solid foundation in Nero, same when Marcus took Mars bitch from um and raised the bar expectation wise, it shows the lines still got summat to give and at end of day its not always about what they can do for improving lurchers, gaing consistency performance and temperment wise within the breed itself far more important in long run
