mick_scar123 3 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 smithfield types (collie x's) maybe mate but cant imagine the lines are still going seeing there are no real smithfeild collie's left and i imagine what ever lurchers held the blood it would have been been bred out by now seeing its been over a century since the smithfields were about mate.
