Ideation 8,216 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I think if you want a very good dog you need to narrow it down a bit, at least to a type of terrain or maybe form of hunting. If that makes sense. I would say for where we are a versitile dog would take a different shape to one in somewhere with fields and thats flat. Does that make any sense? Quote Link to post

sighthound123 31 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 3/4 bred collie grey. fast enough for daytime hares (preban), brains, stamina, good feet and coat Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Sighthound, don't you think swapping 1/4 of that greyhound for 1/4 saluki would be very beneficial? 1/2 grey 1/4 saluki 1/4 collie Gaz Quote Link to post
jezza 126 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I go with the Collie x any day that me but if I go for a bedlington x it will be the Bedlington/Greyhound than the Bedlington/Whippet I find Bedlington/Greyhoung is lot more versatile dog dont get me wrong i.ve seen some good Bedlington/Whippets and Saluki/Greyhounds why not bedlingotn/whippet x bedlington/greyhound? best of both Quote Link to post
samba 534 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 what ever cross you have it needs to get out/about to become versatile at different tasks most crosses are good but needs to get out and learn the tasks you want it for Quote Link to post
Paid 935 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 all this 1/2 cross crossed with another half cross of different breeding, as in deer hound grey cross bull grey ect, throws a very mixed and varied litter, so there is a lot more luck involved in getting a good one, the more dogs you add to a mix. As they can throw any which way. Quote Link to post
sighthound123 31 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 GD, i can i just haven't seen many of that cross about, definatley need some collie influence though for a dog to be a good jack of all trades, main reason for ferreting and mooching. But yeah i guess the salui influence would give a bit more stamina. Has anyone got this cross? Quote Link to post
darbo 4,776 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 owned 2 saluki lurcher x collie lurcher good night/day rabbit dogs more consistant hare catchers than the collie lurchers i have owned and seen. Quote Link to post
brambles 3,249 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 As I've on another thread today I've got a litter 3/4 ghound 1/4 beardie cross ghound saluki whippet due on Mon.I think this cross gives it all brains,stamina,good feet and coat ,tractable and they should be born quite an evenly sized litter.That's why their for me.

Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 This bitch here is versatile enough for me. She bit her tongue real bad last night when she tripped over her own feet. Quote Link to post

If they inherit a % of all the component parts you are in with a chance,if they throw to any of the other parts then their versatility will be restricted and the litter will throw all size's and shapes.

brambles 3,249 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 They will inherit a % of all component parts being 3 parts mixed sighthound 1 part herding dog so there will be a far more substancual chance of throwing more even litter than other crosses such as g/h d/h x g/h collie or g/h d/h x g/h bull for e.g. Quote Link to post
