IMHO if i went for a two dog hybred this is wat i would go for how this dog has been bred.No one can deny hes one hell of a stamp of dog.atvb dell

if you want a lurcher that will learn quickly get a colli cross but the down side is that it might hav to much brains but if you want a little firey dog get a beddy cross hope this helps atb

cheers for all the advice i would be interested in a pup of you maybe mate do the bed/whippets all have rough coats or can you get smooth think this might be the choice for me

With my first lurcher being a bitza thats the route i would go down just look for a litter thats been bred worker to worker and if you want a smaller cross maybe a bitza with beddy.whippet or collie that can throw pups under wat we used to call the ideal measurement 24 inch to the shoulder.atb dell

exactly what ive got for my first, 21 n half/22 tts. clever loyal, good on lamp, and game for fox/deer too. cant fualt her for a first lurcher, minimal training is required i just seem to talk to her like she a person and she just does what i want, in a fashion.

she only 19 month, this is her first season but had a fair bit of game, epecialy on lamp. shes had hundereds of rabbits, id say a good 30 hares on lamp. 2 day time (doubled up though). shes had experience with two fox, one big dog in november, which played dead and escaped, ended up fighting it in a flooded river, and helped my mates terrior with a vixen december time. hard to get her experience on them around here they all get shot. she had experience with roe with my mates bull cross and done well. she in season at the minute so that will be it. looking forward to next season, but also got a a pup to train durig summer

IMO a collie whippet will be limited to what it can do, with exceptions of course as with all crosses. If your hearts set on collie blood then either a collie grey (if its half cross you want) or a collie/grey x whippet might be a good choice, bring down the size as you seem to want but still be quik enough to do everything a collie whippet can and more. I agree with what has been said, quarter collie is plenty, other three quarters can be tailored to what you want size wise. Personally though I would just get a pup from 2 lurchers doing what you want your pup to do...
