Greb147 6,809 Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) It's a crying shame that we never hear about these ancient desert dogs on here. Apparently they have been used with great success in the coursing world. Here's a thread to discuss their abilities. Edited June 14, 2021 by Greb147 1 4 Quote Link to post

Why are line bred dogs superior, going by what you're saying nothing can improve ve them? Quote Link to post

Why was the latest of the pre-ban action still dominated by these lurchers instead of pures. And how can you say that the pures were of poor quality and that there was better in the desert lands if they had never entered these shores? Quote Link to post

No they was good salukis mate but rich didn't let poor at em most coursing lads got the pure blood from one source didnt have pures to breed them with In the foley best dogs about pures was in the finals mate with coursing breds more good men had coursing bred Then pures so more quality about There been hare killers here since 1890s mate Quote Link to post
