desertdog 149 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 What a cracking read lads,my first dog was collie x,cracking dog did all I wanted with him,I've never gone far from that cross either,my old bitch in the picture was saluki collie grey, very cute in her way, when she went, I came back to a first x, we just hunt what we can eat, not tried her on old red, doesn't worry me,I grew up around older fellas who swore by collie xs, horses for courses, I'm happy.

Fieldsporthunter 1,864 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Were there no pups with his bloodline amongst fellow hunters? Or did you feel the line had to come through him to get the desired traits? No, he was the last.... The dog I have now is the last of his line and all I want and more in a lurcher if I lost him before I got a pup I don't think I could carry on, I would not know where to start. 1 Quote Link to post

Wales1234 5,489 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I was brought up around all sorts of lurcher mostly bullx because my uncle is a digging man even my old bitch is a bull x but I had my first lurcher pup nearly 3 years ago she's got a good bit of collie in her and she's totally opened my eyes and my latest pup is a collie x I can't get enough of them back end of this season iv really seen what a good collie x can do !! Don't get me wrong bull x have their place and will be adding bull in the my lurchers in the future I think collie bull greys offer a lot to the table Quote Link to post
whippet 99 2,613 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 the collie x is like the jack Russell of terriers too me , a good breed dieing out ,......and a decent one aint as easy too find these days , as the pat took over the terrier world and the bull x taking over the lurcher world , I like too see a decent dog without modern day blood , call me old fashioned , but its more of task and a great satisfaction too have a decent dog with out bull in it , but don't get me wrong , I will not knock any breed or dog down , each to there own , and those lads who proceed too work the beddies under ground , I take my hat off as there putting the work and patience into the dog , instead of buying the name of something on a tin off a shelf , just old school , like seeing the underdog achieving , no special names or blood , just an honest dog serving a modern day purpose 4 Quote Link to post
foxbolter 447 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Whippet 99 I think its easy to get a collie cross u just put collie in but as for russells they would be a dying breed for the worse I think Quote Link to post
foxbolter 447 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Joe I know u dont just use any collie but there will always be a collie as long as we got sheep and theres plenty in the allotment by me next to the beetroot Quote Link to post
