He's nine months, so nearly full-grown. I'm hoping he'll grow about one more inch.

Very cool.
Mr. Frank X. Morris has Salukis, correct?

I think he has a bunch of them, and he has posted about them many times before.

A sizeable influx of RR people to lure coursing. They do love to chase the plastic. And good exersize. They aren't the breed of choice to go course jackrabbits but could be used as flushers. A good game for them to course would be coyotes. Sure could use one to keep my guys safe when they run into a yote.

Howdy Ron,
A fixed Saluki becomes an Afghan LOL My 2 older dogs are fixed and we keep tem trimmed. I don't know how long the coat would get if we didn't A disertation on coursing hounds can fill a book...or 2...or 3 etc. For lure coursing the smaller Salukis can handle the turns of te course better than bigger ones. But you don't always get a tight course with a lot of turns, so a bigger dog can do well in it. Now on live game like jackrabbits (open field coursing) the conditions vary soooo much that it may come down to the size dog you like. The most sucsessful breeds coursing jacks are Whippets, Salukis, and Greyhounds. You look at the size differance and you can talk all you want about what size is best and not convince anyone. So it just comes down to what size you want. I like mine on the small side but I have had them from 24" up to almost 29". So much fun to talk Saluki :-)

Hey Frank --
So I've heard -- three distinct Saluki looks -- smooth, feathered, and neutered. Heck, if I wanted to deal with the hair, I'd have likely picked up another Afghan. It's off to the groomer with him next week. I'm going to have all of the fuzz removed with a clipper, then wait and see how much grows back. It should make his forelegs appear a lot longer. I was told to pick up a stripping knife to keep it under control for now, though I've never used one, and have no idea how difficult or tedious that might be. |

Howdy Ron,
If all you have to deal with is the puppy fuzz, then it shouldn't be much of a task at all. Normally I just pull the puppy fuzz off the dog, usually it comes out fairly easily. Yes, he should look slimmer, trimmer and long legged :-)

My parental units have seven Italian Greyhounds. It's my belief, based on pure experience, that the Italian Greyhound is for sure the dumbest of all of the breeds. My Dacshund, is a lot smarter than my parents dogs, but I know there are smarter breeds than Doxie's too. I also know that my Zebra, is worlds smarter than any of the horses, or Mules, or Donkeys I've ever owned. She'll outsmart them any day of the week.....Come to think of it, she's out smarted me a time or three...Anyone else here, ever been outsmarted by a Zebra?
