fresh earth 47 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Have a wee kc whippet that embaresses a mates beddy x's a 3/4 whippe bed and a half x we work mostly woodland and she leaves them standing and surprisingly even to me knocks up less. I also know a boy with two pure border collies and i swear iv seen them put lurchers to shame dozens of times ferreting and i seen one of them take deer regular so why anyone thinks a collie greyhound would be very limited is beyond me. Buy what you like what suits you and what you want ! If i bought something because i was told to it wouldnt last a month !! The colliex would be the better all out ferreting dog from your choices and to be fair are about equal to a beddyx in my view depends the style you like your dog to work. Quote Link to post
border lad 1,047 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 a collie grey bred the right way is first class, bred from an ex hill working collie, (( bitch to a top greyhound dog, I do not mean a reject from a flapping, track, or a collie thats only chased cars in the street, or was a reject from a farm yard, a Proper working collie has a nose, second to none, stamina is beyond believe, take a trip into the WELSH HILLS, AND WATCH SOME OF THOSE COLLIES WORK, OR THE CUMBRIAN FELLS, TAKE rescue dogs on the fells 99% are collies, ((( for there nose, there stamina, good feet, to handle the rocky stoney ground, select your greyhound, a retired racer, with a proven track record, yes there is wastage in a litter, but they will all make rabbit dogs thats for sure, Quote Link to post

Lennard 10 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Get yourself a dog form parents that do what you want the dog for. Then probably the genetics are there...and it is up to you to get it trained and conditioned for its job. The definition of what it exactly is is not important. L Quote Link to post
