it,s horses for courses as they say, i like a dog with plenty of collie blood in them, i.e. reverse threequarter or first cross, my little bitch stands at 20.5 inches and she is quick off the mark and very agile, she retrevied her 84th shot long ears the other day, not bad for a little collie cur. regards collie john.

Good crack collie john.. How long you been into this cross have you found they have any limitations? Or do they meet all your needs?

iv'e had the same strain of border x greyhound for the past 25 years and they are the most loyal,clever,reliable dogs that you would ever want , my current dogs are 7/8TH greyhound 1/8TH collie , everybody slated me for puting a pure greyhound to my 3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie saying they would lose the stamina but take it from me they have bundles of it , im currently looking for a good working whippett to cover my bitch

Do you have any pics of your 3/4 and 7/8 that you could post? it would be interesting to see what sort of size/shape they are

I usually stay off these threads because I cant stand the sycophantic crap some people spout about Hancock, but in this instance I will make exception because what Sally says about borders and beardies is true I prefer the border for that very reason, I am short tempered and quick to anger and the border is very forgiving, you can give a border some stick either verbally or physically and they seem to love you all the more for it Try that with other more sensetive crosses and you will be watching a clean pair of heels as the dog takes off in search of a more patient and sensetive master

I quite agree SJM, for the most part anyway. As I said I didn't quite get what the lad was trying to say. If he had said that Beardies can be a little more sensitive than the border, this thick old fenn boy would have understood and agreed hole heartedly. Some times you just have to draw me a diagram .I proffer a sensitive dog to a groveller and that's why I have Beardie crosses. Being a sensitive kind of Pearson myself I find they fit my personality. Although they maybe more sensitive they lack nothing in loyalty or commitment.

As for being a sycophant .

Some pics from our ferreting trip yesterday....

Have worked collie crosses in the past,German Shepherd first cross at present,

Own and work to cattle and sheep Beardie collies and Border collies,First and foremost before entering in to any breeding programme or purchasing a pup I would only use or purchase from WORKING stock.

We currently work Three Beardies two dogs and a bitch,

Strengths = Courage Coat Stamina Scenting ability

To put in a nutshell our beardies will hunt sheep in woods if they find one that is injured the will bay on it ,they will stand and bark and snap at our hardest tup and will work all day whatever the weather,they will also if instructed run down and stop a lamb.

We have three borders two bitches and a dog

Strengths = speed and quick to learn

Will put up some photos when get my own pc working again
