It was a toss up between fishing on the kayak or ferreting today the ferrets hadn't been out since last season and Mathew had been harassing me for a couple of weeks so ferreting it was. Not a bad day weather wise, not too warm, a few half grown still kicking about but done not bad with twenty decent sized in the bag, good to be out again, cheers

it bothers me that anyone who reads that article is going to be put off getting a collie x for there first dog, imo a 3/4 bred collie x is ideal for a beginner/ easy to train, you certainly shouldn,t need to give its human equivelant prozac lol, I get the impression he's not the type who can appreciate the finer qualitys of a collie infused mutt, seems to me its all about whats in the bag and not the hunt itself ?
-
If your collie x is too slow to catch fookall or is a jacker you can always find other uses, nothing more silly than a man chasing after his own hat

Thanks for the comments lads Strongbow > lurcher to lurcher basicly, collie/ sal/ grey/ bull/ whippet all in the mix
-
some good points about tractability etc lads, I think if we were only adding collie for brains alone we wouldn't bother lol, its the other stuff they bring, the general toughness can't be under estimated ps Weasle > I like saying CUR
-
Coat, stamina, feet, general toughness I do get your point though about turning etc, I'll give you a typical day out ferreting though with the whippet and the collie cur, the collie curs concentration/ predicting round the holes is hard to beat and she gets a good number of the bunnys before the whippet gets a chance the whippet mops up the bunnys that get past her so I suppose what I'm trying to say is it all evens out when ferreting too much collie doing other work and you're at a disadvantage dog for the job, horses for courses etc etc

Yes we are quite lucky, I.m starting to appreciate it as I'm getting older
