telf 15 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 what do you lads think about the best x for lamping ? Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Done to death on here but also depends on the land and size of fields. Some spots near me you could get away with a greyhoundx whippet but travel 60 miles up north and you need a solid collie cross. Quote Link to post
telf 15 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 about 20 years back a pal of mine had a collie x it was 1st class. my son will be looking for a pup in the next couple months he was thinking of a hancock dog, what do you guys think. Quote Link to post
hughesy 2 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yeah I've heard a few people have hancocks, lovely lookin dogs I think and they've got the brains. The blue merles re the nicest Quote Link to post
walshy123 38 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Got a hancock bitch had her nearly 3 years neva done me rong Quote Link to post
Dewclaw69 484 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 dont really matter what the cross is as long the size is suited to what your'e gonna do with it and the size of fields you'll run it in. most important is how you bring the dog on. needs a lot of time and knowledge but there's plenty of good info available on here Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 The answer to your origional question is simple.. ..any X that will catch your chosen quarry and do what you have trained it to do will be the best X and they is many many X's that will do just that,, 1 Quote Link to post
