Mustelid 143 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 A very interesting thread this.... A couple of people have mentioned Chipper's line of lurchers. I've a bitch out of Nell to a pointer x lurcher called Dougie and I'm very pleased with her. I've considered a litter out of her at some stage, but I'm worried about the prospects of finding GOOD homes fo the litter. I don't want to generalise but you only have to view a few threads on the THL to realise that finding good homes with SENSIBLE owners is difficult... 3 Quote Link to post

Sorley x 32 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 A lot of the guys that keep collie lines just dont post much about them because they get bored of grief. Get on colliecurs.co.uk and use same user name as here. Ther are some working lines on there and some very good topics on the subject. The dogs are out there and they are working and doing what is required of them. Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) A very interesting thread this.... A couple of people have mentioned Chipper's line of lurchers. Been out ferreting with chipper once and i was not impressed with a false marking collie grey..i went with my dog who had never been ferreting before and he done better and caught more on his first ever ferreting day..

beast 1,884 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ok, if you are after a line-bred collie grey then there are james dogs about, still a few Plummers about, some excelent beardie/grey lines about, I've seen dogs from all these types at work. and there are at least three other border grey lines i know of, going back for years and regularly throwing good stuff. But being bred from an old line doesn't necessarily guarantee a good pup 100% of the time. ive seen some damn good hancocks as well, and most of the poorer ones had poorer owners. if you want to get a pup from the linebred stuff you have to make the effort to find the guys who have them, and show them that yoiu are genuine and that you are knowledgeable enough that you will at least look after the dog and put the work in front of it, and not pass it on at the first hurdle. in short, gain their trust because most of their pups are booked before the bitch has even been mated, mostly to friends and acquaintances. invite them out on your permission so you can see their dogs in action and find out if they are what you want. 1 Quote Link to post
