Imported Saluki Lines

[riohog 5,939]

the younger arabs in the m/e will take anything they can , from were they can . there mentality has changed !!

 

they want to race in Qatar and Dubai for big bucks .the wealthy royals will never sell them a full saluki they know they will x breed with them or throw them out in the street at 4/ 5 years old .I know person aly a guy who was offered 8,000 euros for a pup in Europe , he refused to sell to a wealthly arab in Qatar on the basis , that he knew when the dog was maybe 4 /5 years old it would be left in the desert or on the street .. so like most things today it is about money, only a few its about the dogs welfaire.'

 

 

it is the world we live in today ...everthing has a price ....!!!!..well to some it does anyway ... .

some people are motivated by fame and fortune and some are not,. Its good some people have a different mentality and priorities

Am starting too see this saluki racing buisness becming massive , you think it will come to uk eventually rio? At least its something the dogs can do legally , suppose in long run it will improve and damage the breed equally, depending on the individuals involved, be interesting too see what comes of it lol

[riohog 5,939]

no well un derground it allways has

[riohog 5,939]

to arab kids its just a game ,, when some own up to 150 dogs each

[desertbred 5,490]

putting a hunting dog on the track is not likely to improve the basic line. Even the greyhound the lines of coursers and track dogs where quite distinct.. Track sports whether athletics, racing formula one all boil down to one thing in the end speed which is not the be all and end all in a hunting dog. so difficult to see any benefit

[riohog 5,939]

racing in mainland Europe is massive and properly run must be licenced , bla bla bla but NO money involved for a winner

[riohog 5,939]

yes there is a train of thought by some that over generations the straight or oval track will alter the saluki geneticly d/b is right its not all about speed!! .. well ok it is on a 480mtr track!!!!

 

 

just out of interest maybe over the past 30 years even erlier the fastest dogs and still are today. ...Iranian tazi blooded dogs nearly all gen 123

That's bad, to do that to dogs that have run their heart out for them making money, then throwing them out like rubbish, sickning!!

Crying shame!

very different culture there as well, I strongly suspect the best single handed dogs are in the hands of thr poorer men, after all having something to eat is vastly more important than winning yet another billion when push comes to shove lol

Its no different for the dogs and horses here and in Europe , there are plenty of "Men with Dogs" that run them if they dont bowl the 3/4s over or get a bit of an injury they get punted on or dumped , the rescues are full of "Running dogs ". In the Middle East the Arabs especially the rich gamble huge sums and pay vast sums for horses , dogs , and Birds, if they dont cut the mustard they get dumped , the majority dont have respect for human beings let alone a animal that is no good or has served its purpose.. When people post about selling dogs to the arabs they see the $,s not what will happen down the road having said that a lot have the same peddling mentality here. If a dog is not fit for purpose or gets injured either give it a couch or pts which in itself is better than punting it round preloved or some other conveyor site.
