sambam 8 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 my first dog collie/grey sadly had to be put to sleep in january this year at the grand age of 19 i was gutted and cried like a baby i now miss having the company of a four legged companion/hunting parter and a good allrounder/pet so i feel ready to get my next dog and wanted some opinions from you guys i seen a few ads in the countrymans weekly that i was intrested in and the bullxs caught my eye but most look too "heavy" in my opinion. so im on the look out for either a collie/grey/bull or mabey a collie/grey/bull/saluki im leaning on the collie/grey/bull/saluki i think the breed should have good charicteristics speed, stamina, brains, strenght and gameness hopfully agility too im looking for a good allrounder day/night and pet any opinions, pics or info from people working these breeds would be greatly appreciated sam Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Try another type of cross from a collie greyhound imho you can learn a lot more about lurchers in genral by doing this as i am doing now with the grey/whipp/grey/beddy pup i have at the moment its the first time i have had this cross in over 30 years of keeping lurchers.Good luck with wat ever cross you decide to get.atvb Quote Link to post

Ive had colliexgreys, and bullx greys, both good dogs. Ive got a 1x collie grey now, Bryn 19 months old done well last season 100 rabbits and few Bigger rabbits in the lamp . I think with that bit bull in your colliex grey, should had that bit more Grit , and tone the collie down just a bit. If it comes out right, you could have a lurcher that will tackle all game [large+small] Bryn 1x collie grey Quote Link to post

And you dont want to put to many breeds in the mix.? If you went 1x colliegrey to 3/8 bull 5/8 grey or 1/4 bull 3/4 grey, you would plenty of speed+agilty and still enough drive [guts] from the bull.
