J.DOG 1,355 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 A lurcher cross was started with a greyhound cross collie or terrier this started the lurcher cross but doesn't mean that the collie or terrier is the most important part of the lurchers breed because over the years lurchers have been improved by adding saluki for stamina and bull for strenght and toughness and adding whippet for acceleration ect so really all the different breeds in a lurcher are all important each to there own J/D 1 Quote Link to post
rocky1 942 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 haha baw we would all have whippets ,were ya been anyway on the collie forums for the last few month lol Pmsl rocky, I've been non stop at the sheep dog trials lol thought so , Quote Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 collie for me, isn't that where it all started? Exactly mate. It started it and is still going strong. Its the most popular breed for a reason. Aye your saluki has more wind(just like there owners) aye bull might be harder(just like there owners think) but when it comes to brains(just like there owners... Starting to see a link here), training, ability, versatilty the collie crosses win hands down. 1 Quote Link to post

baw 4,360 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 J dog the greyhound accelerates faster than the whippet. We know the other breeds bring to the table but that's another topic. Quote Link to post
sighthound123 31 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 collie cross will be a better pot filling dog than most on average with the right collie blood they have it all, my saluki type thing i have now is no where near as good at the same age as mooching picking game up, marking, ferreting etc He is however a lot quicker and has lot's of stamina to go with it. Never had any experience of bull blood though.. For an all round coney dog/pot filler i think the collie lurcher will on AVERAGE be the best but like it's said good and bad in all breeds?

Penda 3,341 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 to me the collie cross is a base line for lurchers and they are the original lurcher and are probably the corner stone for many lurcher to lurcher breeds if you look back i,e minshaw lines and tumbler bred dogs weither it be beardie or border ive had my fare share of collie bred lurchers in the past and they gave me the start to my journey into the lurcher world as a kid i was converted years back to the bullx breed and i will say at the moment it is my choice of breed and is proving a veryhandy breed 1 Quote Link to post

bird 9,872 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 out of all 3 , i would say 1/4 would be enough for either x. Prob go for the 1/4 bull 3/4 grey . Ive had and got colliexs and dont get on with there temps,Bryn is hard work regards his temp, if he wasn't so good at rabbit game he would have( gone) 2 years ago. had and got bullxs but (do) get on with there temps ,saluki xs are great hunting dogs, but i could not get on with them. I nearly put a post on regards (temp or work) and maybe from this post the colliex is prob the best alrounder, but not to live with . And i think that is( more) important , as you not hunting 24/7 thats why i go for bullx. Quote Link to post
