Cheers Folks Steve deos anybody have them or are they myth there are no true smithfield collies left,there were some that got exported to australia nz tasmania and the americas to drove but were eventually crossed into local dogs to improve working qualities of existin dogs eventually producin breeds like autralian cattle dog etc. jeff burrel breeds a norfolktumbler which was bred with the smithfield collie way back [apparently] which this line occasionaly throws the smithfield type Edited November 11, 2009 by awen Quote Link to post

cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 extinct but if you want to believe they still exist then talk to the tumbler man. He probably has working Turnspits as well. In this recession they would be handy for keeping the electricity bill down. Quote Link to post
