johnny boy68 11,726 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Mine is only used for ferreting due to her age but in her younger days was a useful dog on most stuff.Though imo the collie x of al percentages can make excellent rabbiting dogs.

no 1 fox destroyer 1 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 i used to run collie/greyhound/whippet/greyhounds when i first started lamping 17 years ago then lost my way and ended up with a couple BULL CROSSES. last year i baught myself a half cross hancock border collie/greyhound, and a hancock 5/8 3/8 beerdie/greyhound both dogs are 15 months old jumping gates, fences retrieving rabitts and 15 fox's between them in the last 3 months, in my opinion collie/greyhounds are the best allround lurcher's you can buy 1 Quote Link to post
