The Beardie cross is not a dog for the modern lurcher man. They are not a point and shoot dog by any stretch. They won't blindly smash 10 out of 10 foxes from the back seat of a 4x4 or run like a Beag

I guess it's down to the availability of genuine working Beardie blood. Despite the fact that when you start looking there are quite a few out there folk would rather go for the easier option of using

I had a Beardie cross years ago. She possesed almost human intelligence, was totally biddable, ridiculously easy to train and a very faithful and lovable dog. She proved herself as a fantastic all-rou

I think Blacknight, Has never seen a good collie x work, as for bad feet, all my collie xs never had bad feet, and my mates never had a problem either, an old friend of mine he had a real good beardie x could do all edible, and he said to me many a time she would lye out on the top of the kennel on all weathers, the only problem my old bitch had was her stoppers, due to hunting of the road, the quarry would some times break to the road, but that would not stop her, a Proper collie x is hard to beat for filling the pot and the freezer,

Bunny serial killer 21", this dogs a star lamping superb to watch the brain power and real good ferreting dog marks 100% retrieves the ferrets to hand if they go missing in cover, hard as nails never injured.

 

This wee dog can find game like a spaniel and never stops untill she does, pain in the arse for the first 10 months but when you learn how to work their mind they are superb.

 

She has filled out a bit from them pics carrys a bit more build now.

 

My mate has its half brother 25" good all rounder not as good as my bitch at the ferreting but still good and I dont think its as good at knocking up game but pre ban it does everything on lamp and believe it or not seen it take two jan hares from same slip day time(so did the f*****g game keeper!!) its extra size makes a big difference !! not hare dog by any means but has knocked far more over than expected of him would take them all night on lamp true all round pot filler.

 

Dogs looking good magpie! them pups dont half look like the sire!!
