My old Is a 7/16 saluki 9/16 greyhound and he takes all quary pre ban of corse , the 3rd red I ever got with him broke his nose and I was worried that he wouldn't do them agaib after that but it was the opersite it went mad for am

A good working saluki will have a go at what ever it is let run after. Where the problem starts with the x.s is that salukis that are not worked are used as a stud or dam these is the old addage to put wind in the dog, if the sole reason is to put wind in then stick a bicycle pump up its arse. A lot of the saluki lines in uk have been bred down from a small nucleus of salukis and from that gene pool some mediocre or even poor dogs have resulted giving rise to claims like salukis are plodders. they are stupid , they are one trick ponies they have no bottle LOL In my experience the right lines posses all the qualities required in a working dog and its normally the owners who are the one trick ponies. like the lads who coarse only long ears and would have a dicky fit slipping on anything else. Some one said the boxing style of salukis is boring . the boxing of a quarry done right is an art in itself and as for the lack of speed don't know what dogs these lads have been watching. A class working saluki will run the quarry according to conditions and location and type of quarry, they haven't survived for thousands of years not being top class hunting dogs.

our 1st x takes fox anytime it presents itself.he spent 2 seasons out with a hound pack and took them at every oppertunity.

everything hes been asked to do he has,hes taken some stick from them too but it hasnt done anything but make him more determined.
