border lad 1,047 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I would like to Add, the Saluki x has a natural round rib cage, more room for the Lungs to expand, or Larger engine room,were the heart and Lungs can expand more, with Hard exercise, also as said they are lighter muscled, long elongated, less build up of lactic acid,, After saying that I have owned and run very handy non Saluki blooded dogs, that could take the brown Hare, single handed, But once you start with the saluki x and learn to understand there ways, put them into top condition, of fitness, you would not want to go back to the old british x of coursing dogs, The Saluki x has a far quicker Recovery rate, (( when in top condition, than any other dog I have used, 1 Quote Link to post

thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,636 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Stamina is also linked to mentality, a dog that knows when to steady up a bit when it has the chance will stay longer than a dog that is hell bent on making a catch and not using its head Quote Link to post
Buttons 140 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Well said. It's got to be as much in the head and bull and collie bring that to the lurcher more then any other outside the gh and whippet, Not forget bull is introduced to the gh every now and again Quote Link to post
