I like collie crosses and they suit me fine. I had a bitza lurcher ten years ago but she got hit by a car and needed to be pts. The bitza was a good we lurcher and worked fairly well.

Do you have any Pics of it?

 

My first lurcher is a bitsa. Dad is a 23" Grey X Whip - Mum is 19" Bed/Whip X Collie. Would be happy with a dog of 19"-23"ish. I have no need to have a big lurcher, am only after rabbits.

 

 

 

If any body knows the % that makes would be happy to know

 

take care,

very good cross for for a first lurcher...and should do exactly what it says on the packet.........should make 20" for you easily..............that was exactly the same cross I had to start with, but moved onto grey hound / bull crosses, and have found them to be hardy and effective beasts

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I had a 3/4 whippet 1/4 collie quality ferreting dog would struggle with to many runs on the lamp.

I would guess 1/5 collie

1/5 bed

1/5 grey

2/5 whippet

 

regarding size 21" at a guess should make a quick dog in the daytime.

best of luck with your new apprentice I am jealous think about the summer you will have training and starting the dog

I agree with cahz on the breeding the bed is weaker on the dams side
