Collie Brains

[kps1979 1,308]

Here's my young bitch, she's got both collie and small amount of bull in her, so in theory she might end up being a very driven jacker!

[pritch 335]

true but would they want too much bull,beddie,lab or any other base (non running dog)

too much is just that, too much

[pritch 335]

one mine around 70 lb 26" & just under 3/4 collie much toooo slow for bunnies

2..8 guy yes i only had one when it was running true it was great,then it would start thinking and you would come home feeling battered lol.Thats why cur lads talk about partnships ect , its more complicated than your miss will ever be lol

Ideation if it runs true its a bullx if it jacks its a colliex

Plenty lads on this thread into there colliex saying they wouldnt have one with too much collie in for lamping,so im not that far of mark?

 

 

That's a much simpler way of looking at it . . . . .

 

But what about the saluki?

 

Am I going to end up with a plodding, bunch crunching, jacker?

 

Or am I going to end up with a smart dog with drive and stamina?

 

I'll let you know this time next year

To mention the stalking down the beam thing again: I had a lurcher who probably had around 50% Saluki in her breeding; coursing dog to coursing bitch for generations apart from the Deer'Grey I put in there once. She was a sod for stalking down the beam, but she knew what suited her: times I'd be nudging her up the arse as we stood over a squatter, but she never struck until the rabbit moved: and she very rarely missed doing it her way. That dog had more brains and more prey sense than any other dog I've owned. A dog in a million, and forever sorely missed. A true hunting companion, competition dog, mould breaker and best friend, and if there was any Collie in her blood it would have been generations and generations before. A good hunting brain, and as Ideation hopes for his, a smart dog with drive and stamina.

Lol If i had all the answers id be rich.

I didnt just decide collies are clever so they will jack pick and choose,Any one who has been around lurchers will have heard it seen it,as bird says some seem to do it with a work load other lurchers wouldnt even think of it,If you have one that dosnt good on you,If it does well thats the chance you took.

Because you dont like it dosnt make it any less true,If it is true??lol

Ideation you~hopefully will end up with a decent all round lurcher,Just like you would if it didnt have the collie in it

Aye, that's very true.

 

To be fair, I got a dog with collie in it because I like dogs with collie in them. Not because I was under any misapprehension that it was some kind of magic ticket.

 

But I didn't get a straight collie x for a variety of reasons including some of those that you have mentioned

a quarter collie is enough for any running dog and selective bred ones at that , saw some good ones over the years my mate had a few they were collie lurchers , not first crosses etc they were some dogs ,a dog has to have pace to catch game and the more colie less pace , to run down there qaurry ,he had a bitch called lana , could catch game any were and very hardy ,on any game but soft mouthed on rabbit hare ,never see the real good collie types as much now

class lol

Ive had a few pm saying they tried a collie x and it did this or that.Its up to them if they choose to say it on here or not.

Remember the lad who was into he`s gsdx how they would pick and choose there hares ect,

So it might well have something to do with too much brain.

If your into a type its all part and parcel,I'm not so wouldn't take the risk of more than a little bit.

Insaying that i love greyhounds if i thought i could keep one sound id go and get one tomorrow,and would easily forgive any faults that the breed would have.

But i would still acknowledge the faults.

 

PEACE

8 pages of this and that and maybe's and perhaps and they might and might not FFS all dogs have their faults all breeds have their quirks some people can work with these quirks and get the best out of the dog some people can't and blame the breeding ............
