3/4 Collie 1/4 Greyhound

[NaTiiVe 29]

Hey My Mates Dad Has Offered Me a Pup From His Litter, Just Not Sure About It, Has Anyone Seen A 3/4 Collie !/4 Greyhound Work? And If So What They Like, Just Wanting Another Running Dog And Not Sure What These Will Be Like.

 

Cheers Lads ATB

Do you know what the parents of the pup work like. Do they do the work you would want a pup to do.

If they do the job well, then go for it. If not then don't. Simple

Something of a speciaist and tend to provoke a "Marmite" reaction, there's some footage on youtube of one ferreting, depends greatly on your land and work and what YOU EXPECT from YOUR dog, as like with everything else you the only one that has to be happy with it.Me own opinion, never seen one do anything , anywhere a half cross couldn't do, only a bit slower.

Folk say moochers dog and ferreting dog. But out of interest. . . what would the reverse x offer that a good half x (not necessarily 1st x) wouldn't?

That's a good question !! i guess more brain power, a stronger build and frame less likely to damage its self and perfect for breeding a 5/8 3/8. other than that not a lot. why anyone would call a 3/4 bred a moochers dog beats me one of the best lamping mutts i have seen was bred that way, most professionals use collie bred lurchers

i had one of these for years when i was younger, she was a super bitch, retrieve live to hand everytime and as clever as they come, didnt like teeth but im sure there are some of the same cross that take everything, they imo are a very versatile and "user friendly" dog.

a lucher if not got pace gets out paced could start yapping be careful,as some will be collies , and some wil be a bit faster than a collie , personaly steer clear and look for collie lurcher to lurcher best way , had some crackers bred that way , catch and fetch whats on offer ,for rabbiting something with a bit whippet greyhound through it
