which cross


Recommended Posts

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.

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,

hi im new to the site, im after a lurcher pup to bring on for next season was just wanting your opinion on which cross would suit my needs i was thinking alon the lines of a collie grey or whippet grey , purely for ferreting and lamping rabbits,

i bought a nice saluki greyhound bitch at the start of the month she was 14 weeks old and had not been jabbed when i bought her, i had her 2 days and took her to the vets for her first jab and 2 days later she was pts through parvo, the vet claimed she had parvo when i bought her and when she was jabbed she was basically given a second dose of the virus and went down hill from there

I ONLY EVER OWNED COLLIE CROSSES AND THE BEST LITTLE FERRETING AND BUSHING DOG I EVER SAW WAS A COLLIE WHIPPET STEADY AS A ROCK ROUND SETS BUT BY GOD IT HAD SOME GUTS WITH OTHER STUFF AND IT TOOK A FEW KNOCKS IN ITS TIME AND CAME GOOD AFTER A GOOD NIGHTS KIP GREAT FEET LOADS OV STAMINA AND LOADS OV BRAINS AND BELIEVE ME ITS A BRAINY DOG THAT CATCHES BUNNIES NOT A FAST DOG

so which type of lurcher would excell at ferreting and lamping, im only wanting a rabbiting dog, a fewpals have also reccomended beddy whippets

 

Get yourself a collie greyhound x greyhound bedlington, beleive me you wont go far wrong :thumbs:

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.
