tramp 2 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi, i was wondering is there any one out there who keeps border collie x greyhound crosses that hold that collie feathering. Ive only ever seen one which was a half cross back to half cross mateing. Ive seen a few pics in books over the years but thats it realy. Be interested if any one on hear has any pics if so, they always seem to throw the smooth coat not that rabbits mind to much i guess! Quote Link to post

tramp 2 Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 have you tried Hancock fella Im not sure id go back there for a dog, and to be honest ive not seen any such dogs there any way , that didnt have beardie in anyway.Im kinda looking for something like Flynn in page 45 of lurchers and longdogs by walsh or something like that wooly bear thats poped up in some of plummers books. I like the collie xgreyhound cross but would like to hide what they are a bit. Quote Link to post

Hob&Jill 258 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 My collie whippet grey has a coat similar to this. Her hair was like a cat when she was a pup but has gone abit more smooth now, long on top and on the tail and around the ears. Will try and get some pics up soon. Quote Link to post

Y.I.S Leeview Me niether .I had wat people used to think were collie crosses in the late 70s 80s but their was also beddy in them as well and the spikey coat resurfaced four generations from pups out of them.atb dell Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 wire haired ye newlands near lauder had them a long strip down the back , m chapmans colie cross bob, katie kzzy my luke, his pups all had a rough back on them along the back from kneck to tail got them here pics of them all no beddie in them for sure , saw farm curs with rough backs on them to in the borders of scotland but pretty rare, maybe an eight beardie but not to my knowledge Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Its only my opinion but i would think it was imposible to get a brocken coat in lurchers that were only a mix of border collie and greyhound i have seen a few throw featherd that have been mistook for saluki hybreds but never spikey coated dogs .atb dell Quote Link to post

The bitch in north wales often gets mistaken for a saluki cross.One of the best dogs ive seen on the lamp to. The reverse cross throws the feathering sometimes depending on the collies used. I would be keen to put this back in my lines with out adding another breed.Just want that collie feathering to hide what they are, i dont poach or anything like that but have been pulled up by cops way to many times this year for my likeing.

WOLVERINE817 1 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) I owen a 15 month old colli/grayhound 2ndx who has a slight feathering from his shoulder down his back and a coat as smoth as you like.
