BEARINATOR 2,871 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 The smithfield was a leggy type of hill collie, used more as a droving type in the olden days to take the cattle to market. There will still be lurchers carrying the blood (diluted to death now), never seen or owned 1 though Jamie pal Quote Link to post

poacher3161 1,766 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I heard lots of different ruemours back in the day that aubry liar had bred old english sheepdog crosses and called them smithfeilds and another was the belgian briard in the make up claiming them to be genuine smithfeilds all bullshit in my opinion used to sell pups by puppy peddlars as they pedlars even exsisted 30 years ago.
