kingfisher7151 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Someone posted this article on another forum and I'm really enjoying it. It's pretty much just anecdotal, but I still am enjoying the read. It's about Salukis, but usually this group enjoys anything that debunks the form to function arguments. http://saluqi.home.netcom.com/belkin.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I've read this before and it's brilliant, no? sounds so much like the kinds of things we say here. Thanks for sharing. It was good to read it again. p.s. Seeing the pictures of the dogs makes me think (again) that my lurcher just might be a border collie/saluki mix. Or a Sheltie/Saluki mix. Could that mix come out with a border collie looking muzzle, though? I'd think it would be pretty narrow. And a pronounced stop? Sorry, I digress . . .

D'Elle Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 great article, thanks. I have always admired salukis from afar, so found the information interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcv-border Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Yes, I have read this before too, but enjoyed reading it again since it is so complete and well-written. I have a friend who used to race whippets. She did not show her dogs in breed competitions (AKC) since she did not believe in the "beauty contest". Occasionally someone with an AKC-type whippet would show up at the whippet races to try their luck. Apparently, they hardly ever won - even though their dog was bred to the standard.

chene Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 This is fascinating. I love the point about eyes that look beautiful but can't see. The way he(she?) talks about the dogs almost makes me want to get a Saluki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
