bird 9,984 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 thats some height and weight dose it not hinder him in any way no mate none what so ever he is my biggest lurcher ive ever had ,all my others were 25-27in 60 -75lb that's colliexs and bullxs.So Buck a lot bigger but he catches just as good as the others, or to be honest better he seems to have very flexible back to him, he picks rabbits dead easy he got great strike and fast , and very good recovery from each run. l ike said on the post, he do 6-7 on the bounce give him 1min and he do the same again good stamina I think. if I had known about this x 1x gsd x grey 20 odd years ago I would have had one back then, think they were popular in 60-70 as fox+deer dogs just went out fashion like a lot of things today , but like anything get a good'un its a great x 1 Quote Link to post

bird 9,984 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 is his stanima and inteligance on parr with the collie x's off past his stamina better than my colliexs, regards the brains side of it, i find the colliexs are like thinking type dogs meaning thinking about the runs it does or the quarry it going to chase or tackle, where as he just go in does it regardless quarry or runs, if that makes sense.? To me a gsdx grey got a different mind set to a colliex grey , his 2sisters are the same and another brother the same very full on type dogs Quote Link to post

Where as gsd x grey just looks like a big gsd lol, but being honest mate, i find Buck is very similar to my bullx regards atuide , he up for anything that's in front of him, and deff got better stamina than my bullxs , he recovers quick from each run, even better than what Bryn my colliex grey does.
