Bootsha 1,306 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I dont know about the wheaton side of it mate as i have never worked one, but a bull greyhound x collie greyhound is, in my humble opinion, a very underrated cross. I have found them to be one of the most vesatile honest hard working crosses about, I would imagine that or similar cross, in any sort of breeding would bring a lot of good qualities to the party. Again, just my humble opinion. atb B 2 Quote Link to post

Bootsha 1,306 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 "A compliment or criticism from an arse hole , has always to be taken with a pinch of salt and ignored thoroughly ". I was given that pearl of wisdom many years ago, I have always found it to be factually correct.

josh-waddingham 13 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 imo i cant see why anyone would put collie into something with bull or wheaten, iv seen good dogs throw bad pups when collie is thrown in there but tbf iv only seen bad collie crosses for what i like, and like iv said before iv only seen a handful run. so for me i wudnt entertain it but if we all had the same opinions this game would be no good, Quote Link to post

joe b1992 0 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 ive seen good collie crosses and good bull crosses. not sure about them cause never seen one would probably make a good strong dog with a bit of brain. ive got a deerhound X collie greyhound and hes shit hot on most things Quote Link to post

But when there is( few) breeds in the make up , you just really dont know what will be the strong gene of the breeds that comes through,? But i suppose thats the chance you take with any lurcher , prob 1x s are bit more predicatable , with a bit of luck lol Quote Link to post

lurcher330 2,297 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 this is a planned mating i have for maybe the end of next season if all goes well. the brindle bitch is wheaten/greyhound x collie greyhound and the dog is a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie 10 now so i would like something from him before it's too late and i reckon they should be good on all quarry if their parents are anything to go by. I dont plan on keeping any myself but they will be given to some friends so i will have something to fall back on when needs be Quote Link to post
