1 st x bull grey x border collie

[fay 75]

aye I have one bred this way and I,m more than happy with her, real handy at ferreting as far as predicting/working around the burrows and decent on the lamp as well, can run all night and bomb proof

obviously this type of x lacks pace but as long as he enters it properly it should do ok on the bunnys

if there was one bit of advice I would give the lad or anyone else for that matter who has a half collie it would be don,t overtrain the dog, just do the basics and let the dog think/ hunt/ work for its self ,

keep us updated on the pups progress, atb

 

thats a lovely dog mate

Smart animal Kittle and excellent advice! I have owned more than one dog with less than one quarter sighthound in them and they served a purpose in the hunting game,no they ain't going to stop a mid winter hare on flat land BUT they can hunt,lamp,ferret and work to a gun if need be? Not a point and slip dog but versatile to plenty of other aspects when it comes to lurcher work...ATB

Theres one thing it shouldnt lack and thats brains. Take kittle rox's advice and your mate should be a happy man. Work the dog to its advantages, and dont expect it to be what it aint. Im sure it would have a decent nose too, so could always be a hunter/flusher of game
