birddog 1,354 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 like others say they can be sensitive,30 odd years ago my mates 1st x was not listening to his owner when out ferreting, (we had no permission and no nets) the dog thought he knew best and my mate swung a kick at him (he missed) the dog must have thought eff this and promptly left. we walked the 5 mile home to find the dog sitting on the doorstep waiting for us. if you could have heard my mate, i thought he had developed sudden onset tourrettes, hilarious! that about sums them up , they are to easy up set for me . I like dogs with brain,good feet+coat, and speed+agilty, and if another type of hearding dog with the above were about, and tougher temps got to be a better dog. Maybe acdxgrey , gsdxgrey, just as good but easier to live with ..! i hear what your saying and agree but maybe it's got a lot to do with the strain of collie used, and even at that ray, just thinking out loud but a nice steady stud could be from a litter full of nervy scatty sensitive types, have you read about 'speckle' in phil lloyds book acd cross?

Iknow some types can be hard , like you get some that work cattle. But for me like i said had 4 colliexs now and all of them are to soft temp for me, think iam going for a change of x next time .

wuyang 513 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Love collie crosses, but i have found that where i hunt if there is not much going on some collie crosses get bored and find something else to do (like find a stick to play with)rather than buckle down and find a scent. However some collie crosses, no matter how little game is about love to look for a scent and then work it. I found the collie lurcher i had that combined border and beardie was a good a hunter as anyone could wish for, he would hunt no matter what. This time ive gone for a lurcher to lurcher cross with a bit of collie and beddie in it. Quote Link to post
