how much collie is best?

[shepp 2,285]

I like something around the 21" to 22" and fast so i would go for a collie grey cross whippet.

imo it has to be 5/8 greyhound 3/8 collie, you get best of both worlds. racier than a 1/2 cross, more brains than a 3/4 cross.

tezzz, If you do find a coolie cross, or breed one, will you let us know how it turns out? I have often wondered what a coolie cross would be like.

Don't worry about how much collie is in the mix, worry more about the TYPE of collie in the mix. There are some TERRIBLE collie bases out there. Get out and see some stuff working plus get something to suit you, your land and your style of hunting.

ive got one, she 21n half tts, this is my first lurcher and shes perfect for me. shes 17 month had a fair few long ear on lamp, one daytime doubled up with a saluki grey. she had two experiences with fox and done well. also with deer. shes clever, fast enough, quick on the turn and full of stamina. very obediant, no need for lead if shes on her own. never been lame once so far (touch wood) never puts her self in dangerous situations, as many bul xs ive seen do. i. e running into things etc. il be honest i never saw the parents, bought her off a pedler at 7 month...didnt know what i was doing but ive been lucky and am pleased i did.

I think it depends on what type of collie is used and what type of terrain you hunt on, and quarry.

 

I think a half cross is ideal as an allrounder on rough ground. If the collie that was used is nice and leggy and from a proper tough hill working strain then you will be fine.

Sam, your right alot of it,s down to what sort of collie you use, i prefer the fell type, or hill types, that are lightboned, racey, and leggy, and shorter coated, rather than the lowland cobbier types, i definately believe they throw racier types of lurchers. regards collie john.

3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie ideal

i think this cross does the trick my 1/2x collies

as they got older 3yrs tenderd to choose their runs

 

i use my collie as an alrounder but he better at mooching and day working than on the lamp but he'll do just fine on the lamp

i got a collie x , sire 1st x collie x grey and dam colliexwhippet. 21 1/2 tts 40lbs does very well on lamp on the bunnies and the big bunnies puts alot of the so called bigger dogs to shame.
