BLACKWATER... 157 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) still a few about the collie type that are pacy , the problem is some can throw greyhoundy at times and not have a good running brain or stamina ,but saw some crackers that could dance in any mans company [write] dogs , in the write hands , before the ban i saw one ferret in woods catch bolting rabbits , course a hare after 2 mins catch it fetch it , the same dog out lamping ,caut a hare and a roe on legal land then some rabbits to hand ,but ive had some, no better than a greyhound for stamina , he was hanckock bred , home bred ones seemed to be stronger and more stamina, got a collie cross fast type , that only made 23 24 but can do it were ever in company or on its own a [bANNED TEXT] hardy bitch , but i would say they are getting rarer ,now maybe not as rare as the good deerhound crosses we were brougth up with but getting rarer , Edited March 6, 2012 by BLACKWATER... 1 Quote Link to post

border lad 1,047 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 this dog I had 3/4grey/ 1/4 beardie collie, he throw to much to the greyhound, he could hunt from the road, and carry back to hand, had done all edible by the time he was 16 month old, single handed, he pulled his tendon in the left shoulder, and that was the end of his very short hunting life, at christmas time 2 year back on snow and hard frost he hunted up and flushed a very good Roe deer to the gun, the guy who was supposed to be a good shot, missed and the dog had to finish the job, 1 Quote Link to post

BLACKWATER... 157 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 banner saw collie types ive had catch everythin that can be asked and more were ever lamp daylite , woods , catching roe in woods is not an easy task but she done it , she had an accident , at 5 but still caut game with pins ,she has bred good offspring to , but to keep that type of stamp going very difficult im afraid and when not worked they can be apain to handle if surrounded with forbiden game at times, good colie crosses are rare now but there there , viva la chase as they say, 2 Quote Link to post

Now fellas, what would you prefer to see homing in on a hare, this type of dog or one of those saluki inbreeds? Only one winner in my book, thanks for the picture mate Quote Link to post
