very good thread,border lad ,you are spot on ,you have to have the right collie in the mix, a hardy old type farm dog.

I dont know what collie greyhounds some of the lads on here have seen ? a fox is nothing to a good one

Was thinking something similar. I know some collies can be a bit sensitive, weird even, but there are plenty that can be absolute raging fiends and are afraid of nothing and have guts/aggression aplenty. And a trip to some of the farms in my area to have a look at a few of these dogs would very quickly dispel any thoughts about them being soft etc. Soft?!

As I said my first dog was a collie grey 3/4 cross and as hard as nails feared nothing if anyone touched me the dog would of done some damage think it a case of just getting them from the right dogs

I haven't had a huge number of what you would call Collie crosses, but the ones I have had, bar one, were pretty nifty on most things. Sensitive? In some ways yes, but not all. The first Hancock bitch I had was weird, but a lot of her problems were due to having had a very nervous dam. The rest of her problems were through me not understanding her needs. The others I've had were all sound temperament wise. I still harp on about the Beardie 3/4 bred I had years ago, but a lot of her brilliance was down to her coming everywhere with me when I worked in pest control. She saw everything, did everything and by 2 years old she had an old head on young shoulders. She was a total joy to be with and I barely trained her at all: she was just with me 24/7. But she never had to prove herself to me: I was just happy with what she did, and if she did fail at anything the first time or two, she put it right herself with more experience. I think not putting a dog, any dog, but particularly Collie types, under pressure also has a lot to do with how a dog comes on. They know when you are pleased with them, and vice versa. Taking a chill pill is always a good way to be when you're dealing with dogs.

I must add that the collie x grey with coursing grey blood in the mix they were hard to beat, they were bred in the late 50s and 60s in those days dogs were kept to do there job, IE, the hill collie that worked the hills, Long legged, stood 24/25" could run, stamina, biddable, and would face up to anything take the coursing greyhound around 26/27" speed, stamina, (((( the gentry had been breeding that dog for over 150 years, competition, was immense, when you bred from those two types you had some thing decent, 2or3 out that type in a litter was good for Hares, Bambi, rabbits, the rest of the litter were only rabbit dogs but very good ones, I never heard or experienced, the faults about the collie cross, as you do on the THL Probably, they bred of a pet collie couldn't work all it was good for was chasing cars, and barking next they went for a greyhound, off a local flapping track or even worse, A dog that never raced, then they expect the litter of pups to be world beaters, I am TALKING FROM EXPERIENCE, not from reading books written by a dreamer, Hoping that his dreams can come true, ONe of those types of hill collies would do a fox run all night for you, ASK Fuji, why he owns a 3/4 collie, one eye and can still do his job, I owned a bitch collie /whippet/ greyhound stood only 23" she took plenty of Hares, that was her job, Hunt from the road, kill her quarry, and carry back up to the van, Yes and proper wee guard dog as well no body would come into yard at night when she was about,
