pritch 335 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'd say that the collie is (at least in this country) as old and established breed (that likes to chase, bite and kill things) as the bull. . . . . probably older. Not trying to upset or wind anyone up. I am just saying,look at the breeds origins and what there jobs are. The Greyhounds answer is to chase it. The Bulls is to bite hard and ignore anything coming back. The Collies is to give it the evil eye.. Im not knocking Collie/greyhound lurchers,Ive had plenty as a kid,but If you are mixing Bull and Greyhound you dont need Collie,as a rule they dont like teeth,and anything else is obtainable from the Bull and Greyhound if the right selection is made.. who says they don't like teeth, granted not all like em but not all bull x's like em.i know lloydy had collie x's that put a few big name bull x's to shame in the past & that was when good bull blood was a lot easier to come by Quote Link to post

paulsmithy83 567 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I always thought it individual mental temp not breed choice for teeth they either like charlie or dont. Plus entering and there early experiences are key factor to getting the best chance to get onto a winner. 1 Quote Link to post

sandymere 8,263 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I had one, bull/grey X collie/grey I didn’t know details of his breeding other than the mix as I took him on after two homes couldn’t manage him at only 8 months or so. A week after he died at 3 or 4 years old I realised it was a relief not to have him hassling all the time. He had the worst of both, hyper collie that was like a bull in a china shop, turned like a bus and liked to start a fight then squeal like a stuck pig if the other dog bit back. Strangely I liked him. As to greyhounds having bottle, I recon all my Greys, track dogs, had it and the couple I kept after retirement took fox with glee. Entering plays a big part, if they are entered right they’re keen and up for it, if they’re keen and up for it they will take a bit of stick. 1 Quote Link to post
Qbgrey 4,088 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Your spot on with that Pauly smith mate.I t depends on individual dogs mental state.I've had a collie.bull.grey it was useless at teeth.but did all the pups from that litter turn out the same I dout it tbh.I will stick to bullxgrey or bull.whip from now on can't really see the point in the collie side.
