Are You looking for another dog WH?? I would of said collie grey or collie whippet my bitch is brilliant at using her nogging and finding those rabbits laid up in cover on genral walks. but then her recall is good on the lamp. So she's not hunting up.

 

And She's stopped yipping now!!!

 

Isn't your pup any good at rooting through the cover??

lol no im not after another one, my dog is good through cover all though he is smooth coated his coat is quite thick and he doent shy away from any cover, iv always thought that collie X would be one of the best mooching dogs thats part of the reason for me going for the collie.

 

but i just wanted to see what others had to say on the subject.

 

 

cheers lads

I previously worked collie crosses but after getting a kelpie/collie cross I was so impressed by the difference in temperement that I bought a pure kelpie. As I work very small fields and thick woodland I find the kelpie catches more than my previous lurchers could; so much so that I'm now on my third! Having said that, I must admit that they are pretty useless in the open so although I think they're great that's only because they suit the ground I work and our temperements are well suited too.
