    JY WAS FROM BALLYMORE. There's that many "Bally's" all around Ireland, lol. For those who were looking for mysterious messages in the name Forley, it was a simple union of part of the surnames of the two men who ran it and who donated their permission so we could all enjoy the event. MR HOWLEY WITH TURK & MR FORD WITH JAN.

    VERY GOOD QUESTION MATE..OBVIOUSLY YOU GET A BETTER COAT FROM MOST BEARDIE CROSSES. ARGUMENT WAS YOU GOT BETTER FEET & CONSTITUTION FROM THE BEARDIE AS THEY WORKED ROUGHER COLDER TERRAIN THAN THE BORDER COLLIE. THIS I HAVE NEVER SEEN PROVEN IN A CONCLUSIVE ARGUMENT & MOST WORKING COLLIES OF ALL TYPES LEAD A DAMN HARD LIFE. SOME ALSO CLAIMED THE BEARDIE TO BE FAR MORE INDEPENDENT THAN THAN A BORDER COLLIE. FACT IS THAT BORDER COLLIES ARE BY FAR THE MOST POPULAR WORKING COLLIE IN THE UK, THUS IT STANDS TO REASON THEY WILL BE THE MOST POPULAR COLLIE FOR PRODUCING LURCHERS & MOST DOGS

    DOG IN BACKGROUND IS TIMMY SIRED BY MERLE. ARGUMENT IS AGE OLD. DID THESE DOGS SEE MUCH WORK???? I DONT THINK SO, HOWEVER AT THAT TIME THE MAJORITY OF INFORMATION ON DOGS WAS FROM THE SAME SOURCE & THE SAME WRITER. THESE DAYS WITH THE MEDIA AT OUR DISPOSAL SUCH AS MOBILES & INTERNET STORIES ARE HARDER TO FABRICATE (Harder, not impossible). ANYWAY THESE DOGS ARE DEAD & THE REST IS HISTORY, I POSTED THESE PICTURES FOR INTEREST & REFERENCE ON BREEDING IN REPLY TO THE THREAD

    RED IS A COMMON NAME. RED I POSTED WAS GARY D`s RED (GARY`S Drax X GARY`S DAD`S BITCH Sally) TAKEN AT THE FORLEY MILLENIUM. THAT RED IS 13 NOW. REFLECTING ON THIS POST I THINK IN FAIRNESS I SHOULD STATE THAT BOTH DRAX & SALLY WERE INDEED QUALITY DOGS ALSO

    THE THREAD ASKED ABOUT HANCOCK BORDER COLLIE HALF CROSSES, NOT WHETHER TO DEFEND OR ATTACK THEM OR THE BREEDER. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PICTURE`S ANYWAY
  15. optimus
    THE BEST HALF CROSSES I SEEN OR HEARD OF WERE FROM RUFUS THE RED, RED MERLE DARTMOOR COLLIE PICTURED BELOW & ALSO A HALF CROSS BRED FROM HIM HALF CROSS FROM HIM

    IF IT IS SHOWN THAT OUTCROSSING TO BULL BLOODED BREEDING HAS NOT PROVEN TO IMPROVE THE OFFSPRING, THEN WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD CONTINUE WITH THE PROJECT??????????????
  17. optimus
    IF I HAD TO CHOOSE A SINGLE CROSS FROM THEM, IT WOULD BE A SALUKI/ GREYHOUND. SEEN SOME EXCELLENT EXAMPLES OF THE 1st X

    Me as well lloyd it seems more popular [bANNED TEXT] some one has a first cross lurcher to want to put more greyhound into i noticed this got more common due to a certain book writer were as 30 years ago more were intrested in just putting two good workers together irespective of wat they were crossed with.atb dell you dont mean the merle man do you dell ? YEARS AGO THEY BRED A GOOD DOG TO A GOOD BITCH . MANY PEOPLE DIDNT WORK OUT BREEDING OR PERCENTAGES & WHAT LINES IT WAS FROM ETC LIKE TODAY

    I like that nice animal fella how did she do on the fens? SHE KILLED A 5/5 EARLY OCTOBER. FOLLOWING WEEK SHE CAUGHT 4/6, HOWEVER AS THE SEASON WENT ON SHE DONE WELL TO GET 1 or 2 & SOME DAYS I WENT HOME WITH NOTHING. MY OTHER BITCH WITH MORE GREYHOUND THAN SALUKI DONE OK AS WELL, UNTIL THE FROST CAME THEN THINGS WENT UP A GEAR....DRIVING FROM GLASGOW TO MEET AT FERRY BRIDGE SERVICES THEN ON TO THE FENS WAS REALLY DRAINING. ENDED UP GOING FOR THE ODD DAY FOR SAY THE FORLEY CUP THEN GETTING A RUN THE NEXT DAY OR WHATEVER. JUST WANTED TO TRY & EXPERIENCE RUNNING THE FENS. TOO MANY PEO
