bobslurchers 1 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have been to look at a dog today, dog was the right sort of thing we are looking for ad we may go back and collect it tomoro. Need to take out dog to check its ok with her. One thing about it though was it had a very weird pattern on its coat, it was a brindle and while dog mostly BUT on the white patches it had spots like a springer. It also had thicker/longer fur than your usual short coated lurcher. Does anyone know of a springer x lurcher or has anyone seen this type of pattern before? Not that it matters really, its just that it was advertised as a collie x but if there are other breeds in the mix I just want to know what to expect. Quote Link to post
jackson2kaii8 5 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 collie xs through tick skin to a lurcher..!the colour of the fur probally came from the greyhound side mate Quote Link to post
Lloyd90 509 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Ask the breeder ??? How are we supposed to know lol. The man who bred it will be the man to ask mate 1 Quote Link to post
Chid 6,537 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 you sure it aint a merle coloured collie cross? merle colour can be hidden by the brindle on a lurcher ... if you search for HOSIE on this forum you will see my lasses dog , he is brindle when he is stripped out but he is a merle coloured dog , as a blue eye to Quote Link to post
CarraghsGem 92 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 is it just a brindle with ticked legs? the ticked legs can come from the collie ancestry. or is it a red merle? Quote Link to post
3 Turns 326 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I READ AN ADD IN THE COUNTRYMANS WEEKLY A WHILE BACK OF A GUY SELLING SPLURCHERS SPRINGERS X LURCHER.MADE ME LAUGH Quote Link to post
bobslurchers 1 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 It was definitely proper brindle and not merle. I went back today and the bloke had already sold him to someone else although he said he would wait for us to go back, to check he was ok with my terrier. That's why I was asking in the first place really as I didn't trust the guy selling him, and he was an older dog so the bloke who had him hadnt bread him. Quote Link to post

Neal 1,869 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I once owned a lurcher which was (I hope I get this right) a blue brindle merle with a fawn cast. He looked like an ordinary brindle with the exception that some of the stripes were broken and looked like spots. Sounds similar. Quote Link to post
Chid 6,537 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 springer x whippet/grey was an accidental mating but what do you think??? bitch stands somewhere between 17/19" tts and is very quick and turns on a 6pence Quote Link to post
