whin 463 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 The problem i see is that people expect them too be super dogs already. You get what you put in.But hey that my thoughts saw several hanckock bred dogs, had one in 89 a good bitch but hard work to train ,serously i would shy clear of him as he is a puppy peddler , there better back yard breeders about,ive saw afew collie crosses in my time, leave charltans and puppy peddlers to their own devices and wait and get a good honest line bred dog that has seen workers in their line for a few generaitions a dogs got to give you a few good seasons , by of only treid and tested all the best Quote Link to post

colliejohn 840 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 like everyone else as said take your time in your choice,personally i favour the first cross over the 3/4 bred as they have better coats feet stamina and more brains,this cross as the advantage of being able to ferret allday and to do a hard nights lamping,and also they usually level out around 23/25 inches,my mate will have a litter due in a few weeks of genuine first crosses if you need any information regarding this litter pm me.regards collie john.

Eggy 0 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Agreeing with colliejohn. Pidge, don't rush things...Go for the right dog for you (lamping/stamina and wheather resistance & brains but must get worked regularly (high energy) and can be a bit more 'strung'... or sheer speed less stamina, more prone to injury and cold, but more biddable eg 3/4 grey 1/4 collie). You want her mainly for ferreting, Lamping, mouching or coursing (pe-ban)? I would wait for the right pup from proven home bred (insted of puppy peddlers) working stock...Ideally (if you have the option)....you would want a collie/greys bred over many generations (line)...only best to best workers are used for pups...And in an ideal world you would want to see the parents work ..Look at the ads in earthdogrunningdog or CMW.
