i dont have a favourite cross, any will do as long as it does what i want it for

 

Took the words out of my mouth mate.... Although if I had to choose Id probably go for a Saluki X

I dont worry to much what cross it is as long as it realy lives to get its teeth into quarry .what quarry your choice.

But Bullx or Bedlington/greyhound tend to suit me most.

Im also interested in the Australian cattle dog cross. Did anyone continue the line from the first crosses?

The thing with cattle dogs is they have to be socialised more than most breeds.

They can have a highly developed guarding instinct and can be protective.

I run a cattle dog crossed with a small lurcher.

She is very loyal, keen and willing to please, with a high prey drive. She is steady and friendly when introduced to people, but is not all over visitors. She is just too slow really, it would be better if she was half greyhound instead of half small lurcher.

I would definitely go for a cattle dog cross again as the plusses outweigh the minuses.
