3/4 g.hound 1/4 collie/kelpie

[jigsaw 11,899]

any of the Irish lads keeping the above breed.Dont put up your location whatever you do.If you know of a good 3/4 or 5/8 hybred on this side of the pond let me know.Just interested in this type.I am talking about a good allround lurcher,nets,lamp,feather etc.I have no interest in the greatest fox slayer in the parish as I dont bother with fox as a quarry.I dont expect too many replies as ive searched a bit and no one seems to look for versatility it seems.PROVE ME WRONG.

well thats good to know.Ireland is officially devoid of 3/4 greys 1/4 collies then

At last Jackson,are they used for a lot of different forms of hunting?What can you sy of them?I noticed they are seldom seen these days.whats your opinion on them and any other details Id like to hear about.

Me and the brother work whippet collie greyhounds good rabbiting dogs would be interested in seeing the crosses you've mentioned have been thinking of the same cross myself, have heard the austrailian cattle dog is more favoured than the kelpie what do you's recon? any one any experience with the austrailian cattle dog cross 1/2 cross 3/4 cross or 5/8 bred?

this season i'll be running taz on the lamp and im going to try and up the tempo on her work rate.ive not done a whole lot of late due to the hot weather and growth of crops,hedging etc.have never seen a cattle dog in the flesh so i dont know,any pics of yer dogs and what type of land/work do you do with them?

Stick with Taz mate; why dilute all that lovely kelpie blood?

[ASME IX 1]

there is a few guys on here with acd crosses,including my self.they are no better or worse than other crosses they are just a good honist grafters.

with my own little bitch she is mustard on close quarter rabbits,but would never make any ground on a lamped hare (never mind day time one)

iv not long since got my self new pup thats got a sample of both collie and kelpie,he looks like he going to be a lot more slender than my acd cross.

[scent 509]

there is a few around jigsaw,what height you lookin for

[blackpack 70]

hi bud my mate runs a dog of that breed he is just on 25 inch and a very honest dog breed by a local rabbit catcher. Will work and catch all day and night kelpie breed is from DS dogs.

feckit forgot about this topic,just spoted it.I wont need one for a good while yet but i would like to know where to go when needed.As I said I have no interest in fox dogs,just intelligent versatile allrounder.asme nice dogs mate,neal taz is here for as long as she breaths,in time I would be willing to knock a litter out of her IF she turns out to be an honest hard trying bitch.Time will tell.Spiderfly,let me know how the dog works if you would and a picture would be greatly appreciated.blackpack,I expect this dog you mention is in Britain?Scent im not too fussy,just the performance side is the important thing and as I said versatility,a dog that can turn its paws to any game.
