3/4 Collie 1/4 Greyhound

[colliejohn 840]

 

I,ve got the black bitch out of the litter she will be 8 weeks this sunday, she is a very bright pup, like i said earlier on this thread, there is nothing out there ofthis quality lineage being bred,infact there aint alot of genuine collie greyhounds being bred out there. regards collie john.

How do you know? Is it that EVERYONE breeding Collie Greyhound crosses contacts you to let you know and if they do how do you then go about verifying they're genuine or not? Just curious.

 

Apart from David Hancock, who breeds mostly beardie/border crosses and who,s dogs aint personally my cup of tea, there aint many litters of genuine collie greyhounds being bred, theres plenty of lurchers being bred that may have a touch of collie in them outcrossed to bitza types, but there aint alot that are genuine collie greyhounds being bred, especially with the lines of the litter that my mate Terry bred. regards collie john.

Nope, still doesn't explain how you know this to be anything other than opinion and generalisation.

I know the old collie x grey is tried and tested but I went the route of lurcher x collie..afterall what has a greyhound to offer that a good genuine lurcher hasn't? All a greyhound has to offer is speed and even that is in the main only obtained on a sanded,rolled track where they only run in a clockwise direction..a good fast lurcher surely has atleast the equal of that to bring to the table? Obviously barring hare coursing which is illegal now anyway id personally not be hoodwinked into thinking that a collie x HAS to have nothing other than it and greyhound blood to make them superlative to a cur bitza..just my thoughts folks,im not looking for arguments. .its xmas time lol

This is an interesting discussion..

 

Personaly,...I feel that is wasteful to become,... too kennel blind...

 

I have used all shapes and sizes of crossbreed hunting dogs,..but have remained a staunch supporter of the herding breeds..I find them easy to handle........

 

I understand them...

 

However,..I think that it is foolish to own something that is, in reality,.of no fecking use...

 

Facts are, what is suitable for one part of the country,...might not be as handy in another...

 

Nowadays, I prefer to work alongside dogs that favour the tasks set before them,..and if this means crossing various miscellaneous canines into the mix (other than the traditional Greyhound )..then it makes sense to do so...

The Greyhound is a wonderful creature,. it is the great leveler for sorting out a mish/mash of pedigree unknown, Heinze 57's

 

But,...we should never be scared of trying to create a specialist jukel for the job in hand,...regardless of whos' noted bloodlines are in their linage..

 

All the best,..and good hunting to you all...

 

Regards, Phil.

This is the sire a dog that takes all quarry on all ground ,and with a prey drive that would put any cross to shame. He is at home on big land , woodland, dales or mountains. But his tump card is his ability to follow a sent line at a speed some dogs struggle to run at.

 

That is a fine example of a lurcher. Looks well. How tall is he?

Heres a few pics of my mates 9 yr old collie lurcher showing the younger whippet x how its done. Hes a first class ferreting and daytime little dog and catches more than his fair share even at his advanced yrs.
