Collie Xs Taking Fox

[oldred58 340]

you hear bull x this & bull x that taking foxes, but the best I have owned is first x collie, he would take fox day & night all single handed, he would carry a rabbit back to hand alive then kill a fox in the same field,a good all round lucher.

Nice looking dog mate. Ive seen plenty of collie lurchers kill the odd fox but whether they could do numbers night after night is another story ....

 

Oh and as for the catching a rabbit then a fox ? My bull/greyhound done exactly that last week.

Seen sum take bigger stuff many years ago before the bull x s each to there own spose atb bundy

Imo it dont matter what breed or cross they are..if they have a taste for it then they'll do it...the bullx was bred purely for doing it night after night in numbers..

There's plenty of old farm collies that kill fox and they ain't got any greyhound in them.....the biggest problem with collie greys is that there started far to early and jack on the bigger stuff ......

entered correctly ...and you have yourself a very brainy killing machine ,do you think before bull x's there was not guys going out and doing bigger stuff/teeth night after night with collie x's?

Yeah nowt wrong a good collie cross. But to be honest there are so many about that wont entertain teeth it gives them a bad name, but then ive seen bull crosses turn a nose at them. The likes of handcock breeding from any old shit will likely add to the trash. In my opinion each and every longdog or lurcher should handle a fox, or at least be keen, as ye cant expect a whippet to take a few each night of the week. Boils my piss when some dogs refuse teeth point blank, thats a failed lurcher if I owned it. Just my opinions, so please folks dont bite my head off. I know there are some good handcock dogs out there, but for each good'un, how many jibbers were bred?

Nice to hear about you dog old red, looks a topper and obviously does its work with style. Thats what its all about, not what cross it is. All the best

I've seen a big collie cross like the one at the top of the post..it would murder them single handed sometimes untill the gut's where hanging out..a one off i am sure.. ..i seen the same dog cave it's own skull in and kill it;s self chasing one..

you will get a lot of colliex that will take 5 or 6 a season.but if its your main quarry that you go out for 2 or 3 times a week alot of them will turn there noses not all but most,would like to have a good 3/4 grey 1/4 collie for the job as they make cracking catch dogs but will they last its a big gamble.

fair point that, i had a 3/8 collie 5/8 grey Blaze 26in dog, loved doing foxes, Fcats, more than rabbits lol. I would say doing things that bite back wasnt his only job , but did take fair few with him, not like some lads who just look for old charlie. Prob if i had just done them most nights and nothing else, he would have had enough, but took 3-4 most weeks+ rabbits,( every week) if i could catch them so he had few over the season, this was in late 80s . But for teeth job, nothing will better a bullx i spoke about blaze before regards this post .! he was a good honest dog

Blaze

i hav a 3/4 grey 1/4 collie and he is a savage on a fox will do as many in the week as any other breed i had including wheaton xs and bull crosses only difference is u dont need to get foxs in half as close for him if u give him half a chance he will normaly catch his just a real good alrounder and a real honest dog i think people get too caught up in breeds when i started off in lurchers every one just kept all rounders dogs that would take hare/rabbit/fox even the odd pheasent and there was allways a bit of collie in them somewhere but there is good and bad in every breed and i hav seen as many bull crosses fail to take fox as i hav seen collie crosses fail cheers brian

I wonder if Bull X owners think fox's weren't caught before the Bull X became so popular, years ago a big percent of lurchers were collie X,
