1/2 beardie

Couple of pictures of mine taken this morning...bitch about 15 months. Probably about 1/4 collie and I'd expect getting on for about 1/2 grey (cg x 'lurcher').    

5/8 3/8 dog about 12 month in the picture.

It,s each to their own, for what i do, which is ferreting, mooching, and lamping, and nowadays it,s more lamping, i like a dog which uses its brain, has plenty of stamina, and can take a knock, the collie greyhound of the type i keep ticks all the boxes, the numbers game means nothing to me, been there and done that when i was alot younger, you can only kill stuff once. regards collie john.

WHAT WUD YOU CALL BIG NUMBERS , WITH THIS X,,WHEN YOU WAS FULL ON,,

I had a beardie/border lurcher quite some years back from hancock. He was a first cross male and was quite tall with it. Compared to my straight border cross he would range much further working more independently, he was one of the best hunting up dogs I've owned. Scared me how committed he was when chasing something, I often closed my eyes, but I can never once remember him ending up at the vets. He's even been tangled up in barb wire and caught on it before but with hardly any serious damage to his skin.

 

I only ever hunted rabbits and hares, I've never been bothered about foxes, but my god could he find them, think this was his real passion. With other dogs he was a coward and would run/ avoid confrontation, but by Christ he would sort a fox out no problem.

 

I didn't realise how good he was at the time. He had a cracking temperament and was the most laid back lurcher I have ever owned. I often wonder why beardie isn't used more often in rabbiting/ mooching dogs because to me at it has a lot more qualities than bedlingtons. Or maybe I just got lucky.

my mate had the same beardie/border 1/4 x 3 /4 grey of Hancock , it was big fawn dog 27in and strong , was good on hares- day, and good in the lamp rabbits. But his dog was the same type temp, was ok with dogs as long as were ok with him, but fook me on foxes he would smash them easy, he killed 2 in a morning and killed another 1 same night. I wonder if its the beardie puts that bit of fire in them , as borders seem not have as much about them.?

You could be easily describing my mates dog from the early 90's....even the colour lol, a fox specialist, but an accomplished alrounder as well......I'm sure that bit of beardie make a difference.
