Fat-Ferret 857 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 There seems to be a split opinion on them, I have never seen one for myself or knew anyone that had one. Quote Link to post

lampy 18 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I had a 3/4 gh 1/4 collie off hancock a few years ago now. out of stormin norman (half cross) to jet a pure greyhound. had him from a pup and he was piss easy to train. he would jump, retrieve, lamp off the lead and spot on with stock. i kept him till he was 3 but he would nt entertain fox at all. he d run along side them but that was it . 29 tts the shoulder. i rang hancock and told him and fair play he offered me another pup free of charge. i never took him up on the offer but still good of him to do it. i reckon the right line of collie cross would take some beating as an all rounder. maybe i was just unlucky with the one i had but he had ample chances Quote Link to post
