how would you know if its 3/4 or first cross on a first cross some will go more to the greyhound some will go more colie so how can you tell?

 

my opinion, the dog is very light boned it could even be a full bred greyhound, but again I can only look back on my dogs over the past years collie xs

so come on all you collie x owners have a look and give an opinion, interesting to see other peoples views,

 

I would like to see more of the feet to see if they are long and crappy like the greyhound or small and boxed like the collie but if push came to shove, I'd say 3/4.

 

Only pic i have sorry thanks for you opinion.

A friend has just lost his dad and would like me to have his colliex dog now he thinks its a first cross but my other friend says you would be able to tell if it was a first cross and he thinks its not and what exactly does 3/4 1/4 1/2 crosses actually mean sorry for not understanding. He is a good worker but have heard that first crosses are not very good could you tell just by looking at the dog? If so whats your opinion this is him anyway.

 

Thanks

first of all i would like to say well done for you taking the dog on

 

i am well on with Border Lad on this one it is a very flighty type not much lung room so a 3/4grey 1/4 collie possible but even if it is that way crossed he has took more to the grey but your happy your mates happy what does it matter

 

All The Best with your new friend Smart Dog

 

Thanks very much if he were a full greyhound will he still be ok for rabbits and possibly mr long ears?

dont see why not mate alot of people used to use greys for coarsing and a close mate of mine runs a greyhound bitch on rabbits and she does pretty well

just enjoy him, you will have plenty of sport with him, the only trouble with a pure grey or 7/8ths is there feet, he is your first dog, look after him and I am sure he will do well for you, and I hope you gain a lot of experience, from him, happy hunting,

i would say 3/4 bred as he looks more to the greyhound side. good luck with the dog and if it satifies you mate then thats good enough.

Thanks buddy i hope he will be ok.

youll soon know when you start working him, coursing with him . if he is knackered after two good runs hes a 3/4, if he stays well and can course again and again he is a first cross
