cant see what 1 would have to offer over a half cross, that 1 in that video was a big animal looked a little to big for my liking but then again i wouldnt know a good ferreting dog if it jumped up and bit me ferreting bore's the pants of me

I wouldn't have one mate there is too much collie in the mix I don't think they would be fast enough

Not all ground we hunt is suitable for super fast Lurchers. ..

No one would give you second glance,infact you will be driven insane by being accosted by border collie owners whilst on nature bimbles with your dog.

I can appreciate that but a half cross collie grey is far from "super fast" so when do you think more than half collie is required?

 

Your bitch is 5/8 collie 3/8 grey if I remember right? And I know a lot of the litter are doing well.

 

Do you think that if she was a half collie instead of 5/8 she would be too fast? Or not robust enough? Or not clever enough?

 

Just trying to see both sides of it.

 

It's obviously dogs for jobs and dogs for different people. For some lads one of these collie saturated lurchers would need going over a pure sighthound to suit them and what they so.

Im not saying you need more collie than half x...it's down to personal preference. Iv had a1/4 collie 3/4 grey and I'd say he was super fast and more suitable to running pre ban . Now it's just rabbits so the bitch iv got now suits what and how I hunt now.

a half x would do same job ..but just so happened that this pup caught my eye and she done well so far.( as for the robustness. .she done her wrist last week jumping a ditch..gutted)

shame that mate, is she finished or will it get better.? My pup had shoulder injury last year, give him all in all 12 weeks off, now he running ok catching well, sometimes proper rest+ right exercise can heal a injury .

I certainly think if there is an abundance of rabbits, like in that particular video, it's going to make very little difference to the end bag regardless how quick your dog is or isn't.

Would the reverse 3/4 be more likely to find and put up game in heavy cover than a half cross? That's one of the few reasons I would of thought they would excel over a half cross at doing

[trenchfoot 4,243]

Personally, I wouldn't class a reverse three quarter bred a lurcher. Rather a hunting collie. A lot of fun to be had with a cur bred that way, but not a cross for someone looking for a dog that relies upon its pace to put game away

Sorry to hear that. Hope she mends up over the summer
