kelpie x

[c1j1r 62]

how many of you run this x and do you rate them ive heard there a handy x

[Rabbiting man 1,191]

such dogs like the kelpie works in harsh environment, you have toughness and stamina, strong-mindedness, and a need to be both physically and mentally stretched every day these are not for beginners and this is very much a specialist lurcher are not dogs to be kept in kennels and only worked weekends they need to be worked every day that gos for every dog in my mind the kelpie x in the right hands make superb working lurchers Dave Sleight is the only one that I know that works this x if you do a search you mite find what you are looking for

cheers lads a very intellegent x by the sounds of things do you think they are primaraly.only rabbit dogs

[c1j1r 62]

p.s jigsaw good looking dog that bud

[jigsaw 11,863]

my bitch has two faults in my eyes,shes a useless guard dog and not at all interested in feathered game.Shes literally walked up on top of pheasants and would watch them fly off when they'd be easily in her grasp if she tried for them.But other than that shes a respectable yoke.

Thanks Mag,I never thought of her as being a thing of beauty but shes my favourite companion as shes an all round bizzy body,looking and checking constantly.She knows what to do in all situations,and she never runs in on a shot.Ive watched her look at a rabbit hoping about the field after a head shot and not budge till I give her the ok,shes spoted goats and just sits till I get there,then waits till the shot and looks at me for the nod,shes even tracked deer when out with a mate.I never broke her to the gun but nothing fases her,from a 22 to a 22/250.First time she ever saw a shotty she was 9 months old.The farmer took a shot and I expected her to shit herself,not a bother.Im not boasting about her but shes everything I would like in a dog and she wont look at a stranger when Im around,loyal as the wife............

saw several kelpies and afew crosses nice dogs for rabbiting odd fox , some i saw were very heavy and some out of the whippet grew a lot lighter and racy,alldepends what you expect out of a dog and the land you run ,as they say
