darbo 4,776 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 i have a soft spot for collie lurchers. all the dogs i have ever had have had collie in them.for the lamping/ferreting/mooching man a excellent choice. quite a few people have line bred them for years d.james rip for example. but i certainly would not discount them being crossed with another lurcher type. when i coursed hares preban my favoured cross was collie lurcher/saluki lurcher it made a biddable robust consistant hare catcher with stamina,other people have had good all rounders ie deerhound/grey x collie/grey and beddy/grey cross collie/grey to name a few.

beast 1,884 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 The 5/8 3/8 can be a superb dog in the right hands. One important point to remember, this cross is really just a mixture of collie and grey so the litters will be very variable. This is more noticeable in the 3/4 crossed to 1/2 bred dog, but reverse 3/4 to a pure grey will still throw uneven at times. But even the heavier dogs are great for mooching and super ferreting and lamping dogs. They have loads of stay as well. Most can be persuaded to take fox some are naturals others need encouragement but just like any cross some just won't touch em. Some really good examples on here, thanks for the pictures. What you will produce if you breed from this cross is also a bit of pot-luck. I know two lads who put theirs back to 3/4 bred studs to try to make sure the pups were quite racey, and it worked out well but I'm not sure you would always get the right result. Quote Link to post
