  1. tis a hard question that as as collies esthetically throw such a variation build & height wise even litter mates differ & this is also the case in lurchers with a good dose of collie. temperament wise i think you want a type that shows determination to see a job through, andy's description a dog that works cattle would seem apt as i would imagine they would be a handful especially when they have calves in tow i know everyone says you want a leggy well boned type & ideally yes you would but unless it's parents & litter mates have all thrown similar your probably not going
  2. aye & you won't go near the stuff eh tomo
  3. tremendous offer that & them walls are a work of art,

    Joke

    milky bars are made by nestle
  5. That's the second time in as many days you've said that to someone who's just lost a dog. Why would you say that - f***ing beyond me! Not big and not clever. what is your problem shit happens not being nasty but shit happens no maybe not nasty but disrespectful/couldn't care less attitude so why bother posting at all, the lad is obviously feelin down & posts like shit happens ain't gonna make him feel any better. Chin up mate as has been said she died doing what she loved ATB Pritch
  6. all good points plus the dogs of old had no lamps so no one was expecting em to go out & get 10/20 + rabbits a dog that could ratch about & get 2 or 3 rabbits & or a bird would be highly prized, some times we forget this when you read of highly prized dogs of long ago
  7. daz do you think anyone breeding a 3/4 collie ain't gonna use a racy one,an putting it to a half cross ain't gonna slow it down & a 1st cross won't have as much stamina i can assure you of that i've had both & now have a 9/16 collie which i bred by putting my 3/8 collie over my 3/4 & none come close to the stamina of the 3/4 as has been said they lack a gear & if i was after a lamping dog i wouldn't go for the 3/4 & if the land was mainly pasture nor would i go that way but on moorland or scrubby land or in woods you wouldn't go far wrong for a general knockabout mooc
  8. that advert is a con andy has never heard of him & the ad has been on all the classifieds for months in some it said andy was his uncle, sounds like a dealer passing anything on as a minshaw,buyer beware
  9. he'll at his shrine preying for all your souls
  10. only ok now, what happened to no one knew dogs like brian
  11. well you obviously thowt the guy who bred punch could as you chose his dogs over plummer's
  12. ssshhhhhh they might not notice
  13. why are black ones cheaper coz everyone want a merle or a broken coated or a broken coated merle. tis a long time since the days of the ford model t,when you could have any colour you wanted as long as it was black
  14. just to add that collies are easier to f**k up than other crosses & when it goes tits up it's big time & not easy put right
  15. 4 of my close mates got hancock mate,totall of 8dogs,ones good ferreter,not bad on lamp and quite obedient,but the others are total shit,ones taller than a camel and cant run,and the rest aint much cop atall,and not one of em takes larger game that could say just as much about your mates as the dogs.8 dogs & not a decent one among em hows this bloke stayed in business for the last thirty years
  16. that ain't strictly true you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear & as all dogs are individuals they all won't make the grade or reach the same heights no matter who fetches them up, then there's peoples differing standards, some folk like a dog to hunt up,stalk or like a dog to think for itself others hate those things.some will have a better nose,be faster or easier trained, even litter mates.in all litters there is variation some may have the potential to be wold beaters but some i'm afraid will always be lemons
  17. where's the music andy come lad once you higher the bar you can't let it slip back down
  18. you've to much time on your hand andy' get them dogs out
  19. Making them them more expensive wont do fuckall apart from bring even more muppets into the game..... You pay decent money for something your going to look after it far better than a freebie.. i'd have to disagree folk value feck all these days, as has been said it's all to do with image soon as they find that dogs don't get em selves fit & it needs time & effort,it's easy to say the dogs shit & get rid & on to summet else less demanding & there is plenty of pricey pedigrees in the shelters not just mongrels
