bird 9,945 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Its because the other breeds in them will still be makeing the difference between them and just collie x grey or grews any body whos had collie crosses and collie lurchers crossed to other type lurchers will understand wat your on about. maybe so Dell, but the differnce is that most minshaw are used as just lamping dogs, and colliexs are more day+night dogs. And the point i was making get the right collie x grey like i think i have can do just as good at the lamping game as most minshaws types, even though he wasnt bed just as lamping dog.

Rake aboot 4,936 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I saw a Minshaw recentley, and would have pasesed it in the street as just another colie mongrel. looked nothing special at all. I gather they do the job, never seen one work so cant comment , but looks wise,, wouldn`t have barely noticed it. ATB Quote Link to post

I got the impression that these minshaw dogs were pretty smart in the day as well going on those ive seen on a dvd with Vic Minshaw no first cross collie or 3 quarter bred ive seen had the same running ability as them Quote Link to post

If you put pictures up of the one with a few and leaves on the trees you will be attacked Put a picture up of the other you will be a hero?? 1 Quote Link to post
minshaw man 111 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 no wonder theyre different, theyre minshaws.... not collie x thats [bANNED TEXT] im trying to say Quote Link to post
birddog 1,354 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 i think the main difference is that with collie / greyhound x's you get much more variety of type and attitude ie smaller collie types, big racy etc and ones that want to herd, some with the guard mentality some with a strong hunting instinct etc. it seems the minhsaw type has been bred from the best of every generation where the best most desired traits have been strengthened, no doubt theres been bits of other things along the way with bull beddy and saluki in there. also how many collie x guys genuinely put as much gear in front of their dogs? these guy's have been out doing it for generations their not put off by a bit of cold or bad weather and the dogs are truly tested. i'm a collie cross fan but not blinded enough to think that every collie x pup makes the grade. just my thoughts guys 1 Quote Link to post

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 They're all just lurchers.............my pup is 8 months now, I can see a lot of traits in her that are collie traits but also others you don't usually associate with a collie x. This pup seems more full on than any collie x I've owned but as she's maturing she's becoming much more tractable, she'll not be just a lamping dog I'll be ferreting etc with her. If I'm asked what x she is I usually reply that she's a "Lurcher"...........names and monikers don't make a dog, collie x's, Minshaws, collie curs call them what you like they'll only be as good as you make them, put the work in and enjoy the rewards. 4 Quote Link to post
