MagyarAgar 88 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I am reading the book from Terence Clark about Salukis at the moment and in there he has some stunning pictures of smooth salukis. They look more like a salxgrey. Crossing something like that with a collie/kelpie would be really interesting to see. I would imagine that they would be fast enough for almost anything and would have stamina to spare. I would love to go to the source and getting one of these smooths over here, since I really do not dig the featheringโฆ 2 Quote Link to post

sandymere 7,165 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 The Arabs have working dogs that are far from pure, lots of crossing in the past and present. Lot of galgos are taken over as they seem to improve their lines without giving many of the drawbacks of greyhounds re stamina and have a similar look. these recently to Morocco which begs the question why they need to import if pures are that great. ย So if people want a dog to run rather than show perhaps import working rather than pedigree animals would be better. these are Arab working dogs, certainly not pure lol. ย 6 Quote Link to post
