Border Collie Lurchers

[Bullcat 12]

I`ve just done a breeding of a Border Collie x Greyhound (1st cross) and I was just wondering if anyone has this first cross and if so, can you please post up a photo of your dog on here to give me a rough idea of what they look like and the variations.

Hi BC. If you want to see what commercially bred Collie/Greys look like, have a Google of Hancock lurchers. They are the only large scale commercial lurcher breeders in the UK. Love 'em or loathe 'em, there is certainly a variation among his dogs, but he does use Beardie studs as well. Plenty of people have home bred Collie/Greys. Have you heard of a forum called Collie Curs? Its a site dedicated to Collie lurchers.

I have a first x bred from a hill collie as the dam and grey as the sire, she's 23tts only a pup so can't comment on working ability just yet but early signs are ok. Someone might be able to post a pic of her off another topic for me on here as I struggle to keep uploading them.

here mate Bryn 1x colliegrey 25in great rabbit dog day+night.bred by hawcroft on here. But to be honest mate , as good as they are at there job, the temp can piss you of being (to) robtic+sensitve .You need collie in a lurcher i think as they will do most jobs and do them very well, but a 1/4 is plenty i think

i find like they, seem to watch you with every movment (you) make. they Walk 5 yds , turn and look , walk 5yds, turn and look. done it 57 times what would you call that then. as i said when ferreting+lamping brill. but i find there behaviour (unnatural) in a dog, most dogs will keep a eye on you just to make sure you are there, but not this and i think most people would agree with me.

I've seen it in loads of collie's and collie x's, i think it just depends on the dog really some carry the trait some dont, but on the other hand someone please show me the perfect dog, even best of dogs all have niggly traits we just have to live with them lol how ever annoying lol

I've only had one litter, mostly I've bred 3/4 to 3/4. I was given a cattle collie as a pup from Uphill on here and had a bitch NGA track dog out of Gable Dodge that never when to the track but was raised loose at my farm and was a self hunter. Jonny the collie was one of the best hunting dogs I've ever had he was a machine. I bred the two and had a bunch of pups here are some pics. Steadymob on here has a male and that is all i know of alive. Looking back i wish i would have kept better track of them. The one i kept blew her from shoulder out before she reached a year.
