pipa 299 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I thought it was always known collies were born with natural pray drive in them regardless of how much work, they have been used for generations because of their working abilities They are natural born herding dogs, what else would you expect from the working collie? Would you expect them to be a rabbiting collie to be put to a greyhound or whippet to produce so called proper working parents? Load of shite! Collie blood is added to purely to add their prey drive that their ancestors have past down through generations 2 Quote Link to post

BOLIO1 1,078 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Had collie and Irish terrier crosses right back to the mid 60's but when I was concentrating on hares or foxes I progressed to salukis and wheaten or bull cosses, although some of these crosses, especially the Irish terrier, would do all. Using logic.........collies have been bred NOT to apply the mouth.......in other words, to hunt, stalk and get in position but to hold back at the crucial moment of strike. So I find it hard to credit a lurchers prey drive to whatever collie genes may be in its makeup.....I suppose it depends on how you define prey drive.
