Rabbiting man 1,192 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I have a soft spot for Collie x's, ran them for years I own a Collie/Whippet now. Yes they good all rounders with bags of intelligence & easy to train in the right hands. But what most people won't tell is, in the wrong hands like a beginner, they can pickup bad points. Making it a nightmare of a dog to work with. So in my eyes they are not the ideal first time lurcher they are more a dog in the experience hands, i'm only talking from experience. Quote Link to post
