collie type

[whin 463]

are there still a market for valuable all round hunting dogs who can ferret ,hunt a wood out, or thrash the odd fox when needed catch a hare when needed to, catch the odd phesi, and well pre ban put a few roe in the bag , and basicaly fill the freezer , are these types went to the wall ,as to me thats a real lurcher,a small greyhound type with a lot more tricks up its sleeve, or are they a rare breed all the best

i agree with you but a dog to be able to work the long net and gate net and i have read in plummer book

a there quarter bred collie greyhound collie is one of the best allrounder and you can get

this from hancock.

thats the type of lurcher i've always owned,the best of them were not collie crosses though.

ive got a collie,grey x bidi,wippet does pritey much every think i ask of her. good allrounder, would be lost with out her :11:

[whin 463]

sounds a nice dog ,ive saw a few beddies but alas they were singers and well i was not were i was supposed to be when i took it out but therll be quite ones to

[Guest JDF]

whin it was wheaton x grey lurcher,these particular dogs have been line bred for quite a while now,good dogs if you can put the time in,the latest ones that i've seen from it could do with a bit of fresh grey blood as they're getting a bit too heavy,coursing whippet blood would be even better but i think i might have trouble shifting the pups as most guys would rather have the bigger dogs for fox.

[whin 463]

saw a few wheaton crosses years ago they were good hunters, but lacked a gear for were i hunt but they had the instincts i like in a dog and a good coat all the best

did you catch them rabbits with an aligator :11:

[Stevie E 66]

I own such a x shes originally gypo bred shes had feathered game as well as the rabbits and longer eared type ,she runs everything in the beam of the lamp and comes straight back ,good with the ferrets and the terrier even has had a few by pushing them into the gate nets but hasnt done that in a while that was good to see her running alongside the rabbits so they had no choice but to go into the nets , has a good nose on her for getting the odd ones i miss,if i walk passed something she,ll just stand and wont move until shes found it .Good little companion really she lets you know when theres someone about as well by growling when out .She will get into the thickest of patches just to get what shes after even before the terrier sometimes,and doesnt mind trying to get to ground either even though shes 26 in @ts:blink:

JDf if you were putting a coursing whippet over a wheaton x i know a man who would be very interested.....infact i'd love one but don't have space or time!!

 

were you thinking of doing it soon??? Down here in the south a smaller dog would fair better as big dogs don't get time to run them cos of the small fields.

[Guest JDF]

at the moment i own niether a whippet or a wheaton x so i would have to acquire one or the other,i've just taken on a young pup so it's out for me at the moment.

if you know someone with a good whippet bitch i could maybe arrange a stud for them.

dicky boy, give whippetlady from this site a pm she may be able to helpu with the wheton blood. ive got a wheton/grey x whip/grey (7months old) from here and an absolute stunner it is turning out to be, hasnt actually seen any game yet of couse but showing all the right signs. ive seen both the parant to my pup and they are bothh 100% on all game from rabbits to roe, pre b*n of course. allthe best matt.
