Agree with the too clever comment to a point. My old beardie/border would stop running if she knew she was unlikley to catch and 99% of time she was right. However, my mates dog was more head strong and would run them no matter how far or how unlikley a catch seemed, BUT occasionally, particularly on the lamp, a rabbit would do something stupid like run along a fence/hedge rather than through it or back into the field, so every now and then she'd make a spectacular catch. The upside with mine was she didnt waste energy and the intelligence used at other times like when ferreting or running rabbits during daylight far outweighed 1% when she gave it best. Examples like her running almost in the opposite direction to a hunted up rabbit (whilst we all thought where the f***k is she going) only to see that she had anticipated precisely where it would bolt too and then head it off like a trap...amazing to watch. What a dog. RIP Tess.

I Have a 1st cross collie/grey I work everything with her, she is good on lamp also work her with ferrets and nets she is a very good all rounder I have been lucky with her she is 5 years old, I don't need to tell her anything she knows what she doing don't need slip lead and dont need to recall soon as lamp is off she is on her way back, only problem with her is she can be aggressive to my other dogs in kennels but out in field she is fine with them, I would be lost without her

i work one and he is 4 years old Bryn, he as caught loads of rabbits in that time, and other game. I think as daytime dog, they are 1 of the best, great marker and fast+agile at catching rabbits.In the lamp they are good, will get you nice bag of rabbits. But if you want a out+out lamping dog that will run all night long even if its tired they wont , you might get the odd1 but most wont. They are clever type dog , as been said on this post they think to much. Ive been lucky with my dog as he as had big bags in the past 20s regular, best 29 in one night . But as they get older they will still get a good bag, but only if they want to do it, not like when they are younger .! Where as with other type xs prob be the same nearly all there working life They are good dog easy to train, and easy to keep very loyal, they will have a go at most quarry, and colliexs are tough type of dog . But if your after speciallist quarry dog they aint , but jack of all trade's

Have to disagree with you there Bird, isn,t a 1st x more of a bunny specialist than an all rounder

I have a bitch first x collie/grey, but not that big she's 23tts. I've ran her on mixed ground from rock rubble in a quarry to flat arable and grass fields in England, she does just as well at either, stamina isn't a problem when fit either she will run all night as bird you have seen and for a young fog has caught her fair share, she's deadly if you have the weather on your side and has a good running style so doesn't need fences or hedges to catch. she caught 15 on some very tough ground at 10 months old and had loads of 10's and 8's before 11 months old also on testing ground so I don't think you can go far wrong with them as a rabbiting dog to be honest but mine seem to be a mixed quarry dog but time will tell. still very early days so ask me again in 3-4 years time lol there's plenty of pictures on here of her.
