Saluki

[chartpolski 27,893]

I was with Hamed at the Saluki Centre when two guys from Oman came with a saluki bitch they wanted mating.

Hamed point blank refused as they couldn’t prove its pedigree.

But let’s be fair, we know for a fact greyhound was added to Deerhound, with the acceptance of the KC, bulldog was added to the greyhound, by Lord Orford, and I can guarantee that greyhound has been added to Middle East Salukis.

One of my Bedouin bred Salukis mated a desert dog, we kept a pup back and that was mated with a saluki and again a pup was kept back , so 3/4 saluki 1/4 desert dog and I defy anyone to tell the difference with it to a pure saluki. That breed probably went into saluki lines aswell.

Cheers.

I'd go for the ones that are genuinely running game and wouldn't want those that just race.

I'm not sure mate but I imagine they do have long distance races? I'd say those antelopes have more stamina than a hare and they are definitely faster.

I used to have a very good dog book , that was full of obscure dog breeds , and had pages and pages of obscure greyhound types from the Middle East / caucus regions with lovely illustrations on them all 

if I remember rightly , saluki is a term applied to dogs that are judged to be clean , the smooth coated variants from the warmer climates of Iran etc are sloughis and a tasy / tazi is more a steppe running dog somewhere between a whippet and a greyhound

Mines coursing bred x pure Fred H dogs in all.the old stuff aint they he still. Goes  back to pures why wouldn't you? 

You can't linebreed forever 

Do you not find that’s with the insane amount of inbreeding with coursing dogs, tve amount of scrap about is  unreal . 

you can often look at a dog and know that’s a razor / lucky / foxy / Charlie bred type without even asking as it’s just shines out 

the plethora of the lineage is causing inbreeding with performances affected 

let’s have it absolutely right , a lot of coursing types are made of glass
