forest 137 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I was reading an oldish post started off hot meat about his collie cross terrier and got me thinking has any one tried crossing a snack type lurcher over a springer or a cocker or a leggy terrier purely used for flushing stuff out of cover. It mite of been an accidental mating and you've kept one just to see what it turns out like for example Quote Link to post
jimbo201289 162 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 A chap i met at beating had a collie cross lab, claimed it to be the best dog he ever had. I must admit im a fan of mixed breeds, get the best traits of each breed in 1 dog. Both My terriers father is a jack russel, the grandfather is a plummer and the grandmother is border x russel x plummer x russel. They are nothing short of superb at all aspects of hunting i must admit. Quote Link to post

Tozer 385 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) The height and build of those dogs looks just what I'd want from a bushing dog. Is the terrier beagle mix very trainable, I'd have thought it would be head strong? Edited February 10, 2014 by Tozer Quote Link to post
