a dog which can stand about for hours on end end in the freezing cold oot ferreting and can run all night on hard ground, in other words " bomb proof "

the fun guy's looking for as much sport as bag kinda thing use allsorts, whippet x this, greyhound x that, saluki x the next thing, there was even a wee while ago a thread about italian greyhounds catching rabbits but it seems to be the pro's, the profit hunters, the older guy's who have done it for years favour a good old fashioned collie x, for me that seems to say it all

[Rabbiting man 1,191]

Collie x that's all I work.

depends on land for me more than the breed
