Sela 0 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi , I live on a farm in South Africa so I can basically hunt what ever I want. I have a Boergreyhound x Deerhound. The boergrey ( farmgreyhound) is a dog that is bred in SA bythe farmers. It is a bigger dog than a normal grey but I am not sure what they used to get this but all I know is the x with the deerhound is still a big dog. I really want a german wire hair pointer because of what it can do when it comes to finding game and retrieving etc. So why do people cross a collie with a grey ? Why would I want to gross a collie with my boergrey x deerhound ? I am basically looking for dog that I can use for rabbiting / jackling and maybe hunting small antelope with. I want a dog with a very good nose for tracking so what do you suggest I get or cross my boergrey x deerhound with ? I have 4 other dogs as well parson jack russel , daschund, whippet , and boerbull ( another south African dog for farm protection) Quote Link to post

Like you walk them for 10 miles and then get through the door and they sit on your door mat to say hay what you doing are we going back out or what lol brain for adaptability, like they say dogs for a job and all that but I don't think it would suit your type of hunting over there.

Sela 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) It sounds like a cross with a GWP should be a nice dog as well ?I wonder if I cross with a collie how the dogs herding will be if I try working her around sheep. LOL ! A few pics of my dogs. The boergrey x deerhound is 6 months old at the moment Edited February 1, 2012 by Sela Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Smart dogs them , if you go the collie route then break to sheep as a pup and they won't herd them but never had a GWP cross so can't and won't comment Quote Link to post
Sela 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 What I tried to say was. Will the dog be able to herd because that will be big posative if I decide to go that route Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yes it will if trained from a young age Quote Link to post
