Jaysus tomo thats some serious rabbit catching,same shape as my bitch too.Must have cost a fortune in nails,lol.just reading my own comments back and it sounds a right load of shite If Taz was in some other dog mens hands they might not be impressed at all but I really enjoy her and thats what matters,Scent I dont bother with fox much unless asked to.I had many an oppertunity to shoot em and run em and decided not to bother but you never know some day I just might loose the run of meself and go for it,lol.

Tomo doesn't need Christmas lights, he just puts candles in the rabbits bums.

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............

 

Credit to you.

Is she a Kelpie grey first x?

 

Cheers,

Is she a Kelpie grey first x?

 

Yeah first x,Im hoping in time I might end up with a pup from her and have a dash of collie/kelpie in the stud dog too.pbrookes thats a fine looking animal.

[TOMO 26,070]

you see i dont get this collie/kelpie cross,,, well actualy i do,,,, its all about making them merl.................how many people who have bred a colie to a kelpie, have done it without the collie being a merl???????????

 

now i got nowt against collie crosses,, in fact i dowt theres a great deal of difrence between collie's and kelpies,,, and if i wanted a replacement for Tara, i could quite easily go for a collie cross

[TOMO 26,070]

heres a couple for jigsaw,, been trying to find a few pics with her stood sidways like his bitch, mins is only 1/4 kelpie though

 

 

[ban is just a word 43]

only ever seen one never seen it work but was talking too the bloke he said he was no good on rabbit good on sallys and exceptional on charlie, the dog was about 28 inches and built like a brick shit house the bloke also said he would withstand any weather only downside was the dog needed a field of about 4 football pitches per run, like i said i never seen one work just telling you what the bloke said, the dog was scary too look at

Very nice dog Tomo

[jigsaw 11,863]

Your dogs a bit racier than mine Tomo,the whippet shows in her.I have no interest in colour Tomo.Ive rang up a few strangers off of donedeal and the likes and queried as to what their colliex's were doing in the field,,a mate has a merle dog 1st x collie/hound but not seen its talents yet.below is a dog brought in from a colliecurs member,hes 5/8 greyhound X 3/8 bearded collie(not hancock bred).Hes young yet and is very efficient on the rabbits and has a great nose.I may use him in a few years all going well.

now heres my mates dog,hes a nice make of a collie x and hopefully I'll see him in action next year,we have a few days booked in together on the rabbits

doesnt neal run pure kelpies?

Yes, I work three pure kelpies. I bought my first pure kelpie over eleven years ago as I was so impressed by the temperament and work ethic of a Dave Sleight bred kelpie/collie x greyhound I had at the time.

 

My original intention was to use him to breed a replacement for the lurcher but I got on so well with him (he's the one in my avatar) that I changed my allegiance and have since stuck to pure kelpies.

 

I don't catch anywhere near as much as most people on here do with their lurchers but I catch more than I used to with my previous lurchers. Most importantly, for me, I really enjoy working them and find they suit my character well.

 

A lot of people regard them as very full on dogs which can't switch off but my three are all fairly chilled out. Ironically, I was talking about that very subject to a local woman just this morning who has three border collies who said the same about her dogs and we came to the conclusion that it could be either the fact that she and I just encourage our dogs to be more easy-going or alternatively that we, without realising it, tend to pick the ones like that in the litter which suit us.

 

If I were to sum up the average kelpie I'd say they're a bit like a blend of collie and terrier but with individuals being at different points of the spectrum.
