makattack 133 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Don't know what age you are Banner man but Tanner was a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 bearded collie bred by Hancock off his Jake dog and bought by my old hunting partner Millsy as a pup along with another bigger dog which was 1/8 border 1/8 beardie 3/4 greyhound. When they reached 11 months old Millsy offered me either one as his domestic circumstances had changed. The bigger dog had a shoulder injury and he gave me a trial with both. For reasons I wont mention here I declined the offer and Templeking bought Tanner. For three months Tanner was running all over hares but not picking up. Then he started lifting and became an ace close range dog...lethal with his mouth.... but I think even Templeking would admit he wasn't a fen type dog. The pups from Tanner were reared in my back room so I don't need any lectures about where that small part of Lucas breeding comes from. bolio not trying to give you a lecture im sure you know your stuff you seem like a very good dog man, point i was trying to make is if you get a good collie x he show you plenty of sport iv had a few good enough 1s,If they were that good why did You go the saluki type route??????
