Thanks Merlina, thats very reassuring/encouraging :) They definitely do come with their engines running, that's for sure!

Judy - I do think so, especially when he bites on his blanket/bed and pulls his head up at the same time (if you know what I mean!), its like all the Saluki disappears from him and he turns into a Spaniel - the shape of his head seems to change and there's all the drooping of his ears and eyes -...

Not certain at all - it's information from the rehoming place, so can see that it might be wrong. We have a vet appointment scheduled in on Thurs, so hopefully we can see what they think and maybe get it checked out. I can see something Spaniel in him, and some of his energy and behaviour is...

Ah, this really mad me laugh - thank you! You're absolutely right, we do have a battle on our hands. And I think he is and will be worth it but oh my goodness its only been a week and there have been tears and time outs for the humans, let alone the dog. He is honestly amazing - so smart and...

Thank you so much Judy, that's all really reassuring and helpful advice for us, and I'll look at the YouTube video you've mentioned this evening. And I'll definitely have a look at Naomi's posts as well. You've all been really kind and helpful, thanks so much!

Haha, fair enough! Noted

Thank you, thats really good to know - we're starting to think about transitioning to a long term diet so that's very helpful. This is probably a stupid question but as he's got the Springer in there too, do we need to adjust the levels or account for more/less protein because of that?

Ah, OK - that's really helpful, thank you!

Thanks! And yes, the Saluki is even more obvious in those photos :) So, at the moment he is on Naturo dried food - he had food guarding issues at his last home (high value raw food diet + young kids allowed to take food from him = guarding), so when he got back to the rescue centre, they...

Thanks Joanne - yes, that definitely makes sense, and we got him last Saturday so all still very new to him and he certainly does seem stressed every now and again. We've got loud neighbours out in the garden all of a sudden (always the way!) and people knocking on the door with post and...

Thank you! I think there's plenty of Springer in there - both sides of him are absolutely lovely :)

Oh, and here he is!

Thank you both for your quick replies! I'm in Guildford, in Surrey. Any recommendations, especially for trainers with sighthound experience as Judy says, would be really appreciated. The sighthound behaviour is difficult to know how to manage, I must say. Research and reality are two very...

Hi everyone I'm Nikki, and I've just adopted an 11-month-old Springer x Saluki called Alto. I'm trying to find a trainer and some classes in our area, but also wanted to see if I could find anyone who has a Springer x Saluki that I could ask a few questions of too! I've had Labs and Staffies...
