Reverse Crosses

[gamerooster 1,179]

Anyone ever owned or seen one run? As in a lurcher, not a longdog..... 3/4 beddy or collie? Would be interested in hearing everyones thoughts, and now with the ban place, with rabbits and rats the only legal species, surely these crosses would be up for the task

not seen one in the flesh but should think they would make more than a hardy pot filler without bringing that much attention to you theres one on youtube ferreting in the dales

Thats what i mean, i have seen pure collies catch rabbits, not in huge numbers, but none the less still catch them..... would what i imagine poachers of old would of used

Reverse collie or one off the gun breeds would be good multi purpose dog I reckon.

[gamerooster 1,179]

Only thing that would concern me with a reverse gundog cross is the dog being to cobby, collies and beddies on the whole are naturally racy dogs

The lamper had one called tarn I think. I would say a 3/4 collie would be more agile than that was going off the DVD I saw.

Ive owned and worked a reverse threequarter collie greyhound bitch, sadly she is no longer here, she was a fantastic dog both in the day and on the lamp, exceptionally quick and agile for her breeding and she was good on the long ears before the dreadfull ban came in, these days i own and work her daughter which is 9/16,s collie, 7/16,s greyhound, she is a handy little bitch, a fantastic hunter, and a brilliant ferreting bitch, which i,ve worked all over the country, i also have a dog out of her, which is very heavily collie saturated, he is out of my bitch to Ian Torchie Claytons, excellent reverse threequarter Dan, he to is called Dan, he is just 2 years old,and he is turning into a very good dog, i took him upto The Isle Of Canna, earlier on this year, has i was a member of the team which carried out the big rabbit job, he did very well and it really brought him on, my own preference is for a dog of this breeding has if schooled and entered properly these dogs excel at daytime mooching, ferreting, and lamping, and mine also takes feather. regards collie john.
