coursing_lad 45 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 would say a 3/4 bred may do job local feilds for a run or 2 , but not on good land , will not have the lungs to stay 3 runs or more , get yourself a coursing bred saluki / saluki hybrid , bred for the job , , not saying collie x's cant run a good hare because they can , but you get a dog suited to what you run most , i dont lamp , therfore dont have a lamping dog , i have salukis in get my drift the collie based dog is a good ALL ROUND dog IMO good for bit mooching during day and can make cracking lamping dogs , cant find many faults with them , but not many would take a 1st cross collie greyhound to the fen to run 3 hares . all best CL Quote Link to post

poacher3161 1,766 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 F1x greyhound x collies are not hare dogs but [bANNED TEXT] crossed to other lurcher breeds produce dogs more than capeable.Some of the best hare dogs i have seen free of saluki blood in the years i ran a small courseing club [late 70s early 80s] were a mix of deerhound greyhound bred back to collie greys these hybreds were a class above their f1x parents and one of the reasons i prefer lurcher to lurcher bred dogs over f1x or 3 quarter bred dogs.atb dell 1 Quote Link to post

The 1x colliexgrey is the start of your lurcher line i think for edible game. But you do get some fast 1x collie greys, i have one With Bryn. He is fast for a 1x collie grey not a daytime hare, but in the lamp will catch any edible quarry. 25in 60lb 3 year old great lamping dog rabbits the other dog colliexgrey x salukixgrey both bang on Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Im hoping to put my saluki/whip/grey over a collie/grey/deer/grey if he turns out a gooden in a few years. Should make for good all rounders I reckon. Gaz. Quote Link to post

Thats the way to go as most of the good collie/grey x grey/deerhound [bANNED TEXT] lads put them back over coursing greyhounds the offspring were not as good as far as stamina and durability went.
