shaaark 10,112 Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 Can someone explain to me the useful, working difference, and how/why, they differ in working ability, between saluki lurchers, saluki longogs, and saluki/coursing breds? Not being funny, just keen to know, as I have little knowledge of saluki crosses/types etc. Quote Link to post

And if that's the case, what's different to a saluki lurcher over a saluki coursing bred, or are they really the same thing? Sorry about the 'geeky' questions, magoo, but you are the main saluki enthusiast that's on here regularly lol. Edited May 31, 2021 by shaaark Quote Link to post

Shaaark it's Mr Magoo lol The purebreds that was coursed hard and used at the start of our coursing bred stock 50 year ago could kill and were Relentless knightellington Windswift etc COurisng men bred run dogs from this blood crossed in to lurchers as It was hard to get for average man that's were our coursing stock comes from salukis lurcher now good men had this for 50 year matching running hard they are best killers there is the purebreds haven't been worked by good lads enough in that time slot a show stock there is good dogs but matchmen can't settle for average the pure owner tends to keep the dog regardless 1 Quote Link to post

So what you're saying then, is the original saluki lurchers have evolved into the saluki 'coursing breds' of today, via mostly more saluki and a little bit of greyhound now and again, being added to produce the coursing dogs of today?

I do think scurlogue champ would've been the better dog to use though. He obviously had more nutural stamina, as well as the required speed. Edited May 31, 2021 by shaaark 2 Quote Link to post
