jiggy 3,209 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Theres lots of tiny fields in ireland owned by smallholders that are more suitable for sprinter type dogs which is probably why salukis arent as common unlike the larger expances of fens and large estates in the uk that would suit the breed better for stamina.

desertbred 5,490 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Them hyrogliphics and paintings were of Greyhounds DB They then interbred with Mongrol type desert dogs resulting in the differing types of Saluki and Sloughi. If you say so MaX now you say Greyhounds are an older breed than Salukis LOL crack on. 1 Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Max do you even have any working dogs of your own ? straight question Quote Link to post
Silversnake 1,099 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I would love to own a good pure or see one work, I am jealous of db and you lads who have good salukis, what I would give! I have heard db mention in the past they were even used to hunt wolf, I would love to see that! In saying that people seem to also have great success crossing them too, and I love seeing and reading about the mixes. No need to get upset db... Run your pures and if you offered free stud of your best male like max would be ok too. Quote Link to post

cold pint 330 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Keep em tight keep em right. Regarding pure sals. Dont take long to f**k up a lot of hard work. Open stud would be the last thing on my mind. Select bitches, quality over quantity and all that... 1 Quote Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 How do you know greyhounds are useless at what you do how many have you seen run Hares ? Another a non chaser off the track I took coursing For someone back around 2002-3 was well capable on hares . Nikey that I loaned out to Fuji mopped rabbits up local on the lamp and retrieved like a spaniel naturally. We wouldn't be where we are now re any cross of lurcher without the greyhound DB. Probably more than you Max is the answer Quote Link to post
