Ideation 8,216 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Good ferreting dog. Quote Link to post
Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 all depends on what you want it for. Not ideal lamping dog, although I have witnessed full boarder collies on the lamp catching scutts with ease over the years. A trial is offered, you couldnt ask for more really Quote Link to post

cassshantia 16 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 depending on what your intentions are with this dog you may have a little cracker others breed 3/4 greys to most breeds to give it more pace so more collie would give it more endurance more intelligence a bit of nastiness if bred right so what ever it occupation be ferretting ,marking ,ratting you may have a good dog what were its parents used for and you may get a good picture of the dogs potential good luck with the trial either way Quote Link to post
Mrs A.R.D 53 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 my bitch is more collie than greyhound, she is bang on does everything and takes it in her stride, she is much better than my other lurcher and she aint no bag of shite (greyhoundX beardy/border,/greyhound). Take the trial the dog will either suit you or it wont. my collie/greyhound Quote Link to post
KittleRox 2,147 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I have a 1/2 collie,1/4 bull,1/4 grey and to be honest she lacks pace,as i do mostly ferreting and lamping bunnys she may be good enough for me,I think she,ll do okay and provide good sport,I,m not looking for a world beater and don,t treat this game like some competition,and at the end of the day I like the dug,brains can make up for lack of pace and although she,s only nine months i,m happy with her so far,but only time will tell, give the dog a try,you may like what you see, Quote Link to post

Guest crobinc840 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I have a full collie that is the father to my 1/2 collie,1/4grey 1/8 bull 1/8 whippet. He is a brilliant dog always thinking ahead were they rabbits will go. Great nose, endurance and handles rough terrain easily. He will work on the side waiting for my lurcher to bring the rabbit to his area and pin it down. I can't wait to see how the pup turns out. I think it's a great mix. Quote Link to post
