  1. Id be looking for a bitch doing the job you require, on the type of land you are going to be running on, first and foremost, Regardless of breeding.
  2. Because nobody wants a dog cleverer than themselves. Lots of them saluki types about though
  3. 25", probably another good lunch to come yet
  4. Platts "deerhound"/Laguna whippet x Platts "deerhound"/Bedlington 8 month old.
  5. Cheers Nice, its always good to look forward having learned from the lessons of the past?
  6. Young deerhound cross, lockdown failure. He's starting to blossom now, showing all the right signs despite a poor start to life.
  7. The wheaten adds a more power than the normal beddie x, especially on contact. You could get the same by adding bull, but risk loosing the weatherproof coat. I don't know if its a quirk of this litter, but they are very protective of their owners.
  8. I'm not in a hurry to put him over anything right now. But your bitch is a cracker
  9. I've polished plenty of other peoples "turds" from rescue centres. Had one that was not the best field dog, but never failed to try. Made a cracking ratter and busher though.
  10. Thats true, but you can only polish a turd so much. Sometimes the right dog comes along at the right point in your life. They may not be The Best, but they will be Your Best.
  11. Its less about how they are bred, and more about how they are raised.
  12. I believe part of the Sensitivity collie x's is due to their brain. They pick up training very quickly, which is one of their good points. But its a double edged sword. Over do a correction/raised voices etc, and they don't forget. Even if its only once. Recently the better collie based lurchers I have had anything to do with have either had a touch of terrier in them too, or have been bred from mongrelised collies, that have had all manner of influxes over the generations.
  13. I’m finding the terrier crosses easier to bring on. In particular the Wheaton crosses tick a lot of boxes. They tolerate bad weather as well as collie crosses and cope with my diminished patience far better than any collie cross I’ve ever had
  14. Cracking dog! I’ve enjoyed the company of collie crosses for the best part of 40 years. I still have one in work, but I’ve changed and they don’t suit my temperament like they used to. They have given me some great memories over the years though. Enjoy them whist you can?
  15. Thats because you've never got any further than Peter and Jane books. You are the kind of feckwit that has to rape their own left hand. Despite the lack of DNA evidence, you would still talk yourself into a charge.
  16. I've enough sheep on the farm to know how to think for myself. And if you are that keen on reading, you will have noticed I never mentioned bragging. You inferred that. Like I said, just a child with a dog.
