This was just a stab in the dark, as I have hardly any idea as to recessive genes! lol

Lots of different types of running dogs in Africa to Asia but all look sal type but different coat ,size for running in different places like hot /cold or mountains or desert and I'd guess they Is running types that little is known about out side the region they used .

Maybe sandy is right about afghan blood ,just like we put different breeds into the mix to make a lurcher so would the tribes of Asia/Africa. 

As for the afghan as a working type, it wouldn't have been wanted or needed by the tribes if it didn't work .

I said sorry, pull yourself together jigsaw , see what I did there

A large proportion of racing salukis have greyhound blood,  the greyhound is the  ultimate racing machine so it's only sensible,  the Spanish also use it to breed racing  Galgos.  It's not popular in coursing dogs but horses for courses.

Well done

The range if the Saluki types is massive  and goes from long coated tazi through  classic salukis to the larger sloughis then across to Spain to the Galgos.  We are dwarfed by comparison.

I've seen Desertbred is still on here, not sure of his knowledge on saluki types but he's more than welcome to contribute.

So your old man got given one off a farmer and that dog was put in to a lot of lurcher crosses? 

I'd had guessed that it was the lads who were in to the coursing clubs and all that who would have started importing them. 

I very much doubt the small time moocher would have bothered until they became more popular. 

I imagine importing them was a dear do back in the day. 

First one i ever saw around Rotherham would have been 1975 and remember the owner saying the well known greyhound coursing man Crim Smith who then had the well known dog lads boozer the Crossfield Tavern at High Green nr Sheffield breeding a litter of f1x though i don't know what kennel club prefix the saluki was from.

Did you just look at the pictures in them books you were on about.

The salukis and crosses are mostly bred off any saluki folk could get a hold of, that's why it's mostly the same blood and the sals are inbred lol
