when you say stock dog i asume your refering to dogs that work with stock, ie, acd , collie, kelpie ect. the short answer is, we use them to for brain, better feet, better coat and skin, and certainly collies are very agile, and quik thinking, and last but not least staminar,,,, most collie grey types will catch rabbits all night long . :thumbs:

we use grey dh and grey wh types some times with bull for heart and whip for take off speed and agility well that's the long of the short of it anyway. hardly ever see runners with collie kelpie or acd in them even tho they are readily available through out the whole country. it is a cross i would like to try in the near future but cant seem to find any, so i think i will bread one. i was just trying to find out what to look for in the parents to breed a good pup.

rather than start from scratch with a greyhound or whippet, and a collie/kelpie, if you already own a fast type running dog that is mainly whippet grey deerhound type, find a good working kelpie, and use that over the dog you already own

A sensible working collie.

First crosses are loved by some but not others as they tend to be a little heavy for some work but put back to a sighthound, to give a 1/4 collie, will do most jobs.

 

 

spot on mate, :thumbs: as most know ive got 1x collie grey 25in 60lb 3 1/2 year old brill rabbit dog day+night. And as 1xs go he is racey + fast and very agile and not bad stamina,so i might have been lucky with Bryn :thumbs:msg-6933-1271070938.jpg

the other dog is colliexgrey x saluki grey

the thing i was thinking from starting for scratch is both my dogs are line bread stag hounds with breed added in here and there the bitch i just going a few months ago has bull and Airedale in her line so they could throw to a really heavy pup but i guess u have to start some where i just thought and f1 grey collie are grey kelpie would be a better option

Herding dogs when the right one is used can add a lot, in a first x it should bring good coat, feet, stamina, trainability, BRAINS, loyalty. If your looking for a stock dog to breed a first x, look about for a dog that you think 'hey i could hunt that dog' - i.e leggy, tough, good chest, smart, fast, good feet, coat etc and stick it over the best long dog dog bitch you can thats pretty much all running dog and thats your start and then maybe later put a tested bitch pup back to a real good stag stud and there you go. :thumbs:
