Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 piece of advice if you want to keep your sanity don't go near salukis.they are the most intractable dog I have ever come across.thick as a plank most of them.will hunt when they want to.you cant chastise them for anything they just scream like a banshee.hard dogs to break to stock as well.try and get a one third cross saluki to a collie or something with brains.these dogs broke my heart great at chasing hares and then f***ing off and coming back when they felt like it.just in case you think I couldn't train them.i have trained spaniels and cockers to field trial standard.and no problem training other lurchers and terriers.save your money for something that will work everything. These Salukis and their crosses don't suit everyone. I don't think that's necessarily a reflection on you or implying that your are a bad dog man. Like you said you've had success with other types. They just don't suit. They don't suit me either. I can't get along with them. But maybe one day I will try again as I really do like the look of them and what they bring to the table. It's not fair for the likes of me and you to slate the breed because we can't handle them or can't get into their heads like other lads can. We can just admire from distance. 1 Quote Link to post

Greyman 31,674 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I love to see them running with birds of prey in the desert, it's an amazing thing, but from the ones I've met here I would never consider owning one, just like pure bred greyhounds, they benefit from a bit of hybrid vigour, but I,m a lurcher man know interest in pure breeds Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Salukis benefit from Hybrid vigour how excactly ? Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) DB the best hare dogs are a twixt of breeds Bred best to best Not pure Salukis That tells you re daytime coursing in GB Salukis benefit from hybrid vigour. Max you talk cobblers, the old coursing lads added Saluki to the Greyhound and the old coursing x,s to give hybrid vigour to their cousing dogs not to the salukis and not the other way round. Keep quiet and learn something Max i will give you the same invite as Arcticgun gave you, wheel out what youve got and well have a days hunting/running see what you have got.

desertbred 5,490 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Feck me desertbred, your always on the offensive when it comes to saluki's. Other people are initialled to their opinion as well, i'm sure there is a breed that you feel needs another breed mixed in the shape it to the way you want. As the sayin goes, opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one! I'm not trying to argue with you, just chill the feck out man. When you can teach me about Salukis running, training or breeding them then pipe up or keep your arsehole I mean opinion to those interested, I am interested in pure salukis in my home not x,s of any description thats for others to debate what is better.

desertbred 5,490 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) i think only a fool would believe that a pure could be on par with a purpose bred coursing dog, I think an even bigger fool would think they can improve a pure breed thats been hunting/coursing for over 6,000 years but hey ho crack on with your dreams. Wonder why dog pounds are full of these failed attempts at line bred coursing dogs ? Edited August 11, 2016 by desertbred 2 Quote Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Hey lads listen to DB Pures are the best at everything If only MB had out one over Kat lol GB would be Barron of game. "Listen to DB lads " LOL Trying to get Moral support Max lol, you havent got a clue. Facts and History are their for all to see why all the Top coursing Lads put Saluki into their mix and why dont lads who had pures for years do the x because it is choice Maxi boy. Told you lets see what youve got to course. Youve got two invites if youve got the minerals. I dont cross because I dont need to unlike some who choose to cross to improve their kennels.

arcticgun 4,548 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Getting a bit silly this really, there is no best dog for everything anyone with half a brain knows that, it's as simple as this there are good individual dogs and owners in al areas of the dog game ,some types and lines of dogs excel at certain types of game and add well too the gene pool of other types along the way some although useful in the past cease too become useful in the future but there's nothing too stop people reaching back and trying again if that's there wish 1 Quote Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Max I would not give kennel space to a lot of pure salukis Ive seen in theUK or in some of the COO , the same would be the case with a lot of the coursing dogs in GB, but its down to the man that pays the bills and shovels the stool I have been around salukis all my life my first breath was sharing the same air as Salukis, any one who knows me knows I live breath eat and sleep salukis now I am retired even more so.You keep on about the deer hound it wasnt me who suggested Saluki lining go look and see. I am a great believer in pure animals example you dont a see lions x breeding or cheetahs, I think go to the best of the best in a breed and reverse the damage arseholes the likes of the kc or irresponsible breeding has done. There are plenty of examples about the Bendy legged saluki litter for one, The Irish had the reputation well deserved of breeding the best Greyhounds in the World is it still the case? A lot of people think SAluki are sand dogs not the case in The Middle East ,Asia, Central Asia the Climate Terrain and Tundra are so diverse and the variations of game mean over thousands of years the Saluki has adapted and developed naturally when it has been established around the world like in uk and in my opinion through various reasons the breed has suffered leading to suspect quality. Some good lines about the same as coursing dogs but plenty of shite also. As for joking and wind ups no one takes the piss more than me, LOL Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Is it not true that the Arabs through stuff down and all the dog does is run around after it on a big open area, no where to get away from the dog, no need for speed or brains, just stamina and directed by mad feckers in 4x4? or am I wrong. God I love deerhounds you read my earlier post plagarising they call that. 1 Quote Link to post
