My mate had a collie type that was a great all rounder with endless stamina, she would ferret, lamp, work alongside terriers and was mustard ratting, although from memory her insistence on retrieving the rats to hand was a bit comical...

minion 29 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 A friend off mine's father used to be the shepard in the Pentland hills and he kept four or five border collies and I was amazed at the size differances. They were worked hard and I was amazed at the control he had over them. Very well trained indeed. I was at a fun day with my kids yesterday and watched a border collie show where the handler was rounding up indian ducks. Was fantastic to watch. Quote Link to post
ftm 3,357 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 btw what are squaters? i thought every lurcher man knew what a squater was but if its a serious question then a squater is a rabbit that tucks its self into the grass/ground etc in the hope of not being seen and it then enables you to walk right up to it making it an easy catch for an experienced dog atb billy Quote Link to post
