Collie Grey Or Beddy Grey

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]

worked a first cross beddy greyhound bitch while my uncle was recovering from the" big c"...ok on lamped rabbits but yapped after everyone.

just lacked something .

 

you have to have a special mindset to want a collie cross ...and buy a straight jacket because at times you will need it

I know this is a long shot is anyone planning on breeding a dog of this breeding next year before I consider looking at hancock. I would ask opions on hancock but don't want to open that can of worms ta tom

Id forget about whats in the mix and wanting a certain type or strain.Source a litter of lurcher to lurcher bred pups,bred from dogs that would best suit the land and type of hunting that suits your needs,the resultant pup will make for a wiser and more profitable long term hunting companion.

personally if you are in no rush I would look back at some old posts on here concerning both crosses and see what you like after reading up on them ..which cross would be better for the ground you run ect ...

I'm in no rush at all thinking next spring. I work horse paddocks and stables where I ferret to large crop feilds the whippets spot on for te paddocks and stable blocks but not so good on the larger fields so looking for a dog with more height and thicker skin looking at a dog no bigger than 25ish and preffer rough coated but that's a visual prefferance

Its really a taller ferreting dog and lamping I have a whippett which is great nothing against hancock but would rather have a dog from working parents

go to some how is working hancock dog's and keeping the line

[paulf 820]

suppose its just down to you then really mate whatever catches your eye ...just have a look at a few litters and go from there ...

[tomas87 18]

There doesn't seem to be many bedy greys up very often. I'll just keep an eye out

[Ripstop 89]

Best of luck on your search mate. 1st cross beddy greys are good and there is very rarely litters advertised.what type of land do you hunt on? An

d what, lamping, bushing, ferretinetc?

In my opinion all dogs have hunting instincts so it doesnt matter if their parents are working dogs, the way the owner trains and brings them on is what makes the dog. The more you put in the more you get out so they say.

 

 

Thats bollox mate.

 

My sisters got a jack russell that is bred from pet dog to pet dog...

 

It is scared of a rat. No shit. It will run off when shown one. Its never been close enough to be put off. It just hasnt got it in it.

 

Well that's the age old debate isn't it? Nurture v nature. I think it's mostly what you put into it that brings results. But good breeding certainly won't work against you if you bring a pup along right. Although, some pups from the best mating's around can come out flat. That goes for police dogs, gun dogs, hounds, and I assume sight hounds as well.

 

Just my two cents worth.

The bitch i have is a mix of both collie grey dam beddy grey sire, she was purpose bred because there are certain qualities in both crosses that i liked, she has the scenting ability that a lot of beddy crosses possess, and has the intelligence of the collie cross without the bad points, and sulkiness that some possess. She stands 24tts and works the nets and lamp, and as a mooching dog she does very well. Problem is you dont see many for sale good luck with your search, its a cross i can recomend. YIS KIC

I agree you need both. Lads who think a dog from working parents is a guaranteed worker and just leave it in the kennel are dreaming.

 

Equally though you can't put in what nature left out.

I ferret stable blocks and paddocks so a fast dog is no good it would end up in disaster due to fencing everywhere the other land I ferret is large crop fields hedge rows. The land I lamp range large crop fields which the whippet is a little small his catch rate is low on them but my other permission is golf courses which he excels at

No all fast dogs are 100mph without thinking about it. My bitch ferrets well in places where there are lots of trees and fences etc and doesn't smash into everything. But then I can run her on fairly big land aswell.

 

I much prefer a versatile animal to a dog for one job.

 

Good luck in your search.

[tomas87 18]

The whippet is just 100mph and as a result ends up laid up a lot he tears easy
