Reverse Crosses

[colliejohn 840]

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 the sire to my dog, he is a fine example of a reverse threequarter. regards colllie john.

have your dogs ever been found needing on speed? Or are they amply fast enough for the task at hand?

A friend of mine had a 3/4 Collie x it was a good lamping dog and it did lack speed. Never killed coursing.

Looks a cracking stamp of dog that, whats he like on the lamp? And i have a fascination with dogs that catch feathered game often, he any good at this?

she catches on the lamp no problems picked it up quickly. .works great with the bushers mooching which is what I do most of. .atb sesku

My second lurcher was a 3/4 beardie/border 1/4 greyhound from David Hancock's third litter of Richard x Linnet. He had an amazingly thick coat and skin and a lovely easy-going character. The chap who owned him before me said he used to live retrieve peacocks from his neighbours' garden! Although I liked him a lot he wouldn't be any good to me now as his coat, while excellent for the Cumbrian winters when I owned him, would be too much for the sub-tropical south coast where I now live.

Interesting topic ... Just a question many may not be bothered but are any taking big bags on lamp regular 40+

 

If so any sign that they start to pick runs ?

[Mustelid 143]

I like a dog to hunt but I also need it to catch. The rabbits I run in South Wales are in small fields bordered by hedges or stock fencing. Though I like the sound of a reverse cross I would worry about the lack of speed. Would love to see one run...

Got a mate that runs a 3/4 collie 1/4 whippet good little bitch on rabbit but ain't interested in anything else unless a couple other dogs to take the strain

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.

seen a picture of your dan dog in the sporting gun and it looks a fine cur , my type of mutt
