Best Collie Xs

[neems 2,406]

 

You said (none there all shit) unless I read it wrong? I was just looking for a chat about collie xs and to see what works best for people atb mate

well i have a lurcher with collie in him , beardie and border , but he also has bull in him.

If i was going to buy a collie cross i wouldnt care what collie was used as long as the parents were doing the job i wanted the pup to do ..

 

And imo a collie based lurcher (not just collie/grey) can make a far more versatile mutt than a c/g

 

Why?

Why?

i think the main reason is the addition of other breeds helps keep the collie sensitivity at bay , but this is just my opinion

id still prefer to own a 3/4 collie 1/4 grey than most other crosses lol

I wonder what acd x grey like regards temp, I know p/l says they can be very good guard type dog, as acd in pure form good guards and will use there teeth . but don't know if there as sensitive / wimpy as border collies xs , ive had 3 border colliexs and all were in my opinion over sensitive , but saying that my gsd x grey just as bad really , you can up set them dead easy . if the acd x grey wasn't over sensitive type temp, I reckon you have good lurcher and a 1/4 acd x 3/4 grey prob make good alrounder .

Hard enough finding a cattle dog lurcher let alone a 3/4 grey 1/4 acd.

Id concentrate on the whelp at hand for at least 4 years before id even think of owning a second dog,ill guarantee that the average lurcher owner cannot justify 1 dog in the kennel and rarely meets that dogs hunting demand,if your one of the minority that needs a second un,fair play,ill possibly guarantee you will never meet that criteria,very few do,their egos trip them up,until then concentrate with what you have at hand and not what your ego yearns for.

Lisen to Morton he talks a lot of sense

Sound advice that morton taken on board atb mate

Being a Border Collie cross fan myself. My opinion is you need the right collie blood, I have seen some very good Collie crosses some that are not so, the main reason is the person behind the dog whatever he or she as a softer touch or a pushy touch when it come to owning such a type of x. One other thing I would look for is the temperament of the Collie that is being used. Some can be over excitable, nervy and skittish which will then pass on to the lurcher offspring. There also ain't that many people breeding true Collie crosses. My advice would be if you want a ferreting, mooching and lamping dog then by all means go for the Collie x. if other game is on your list then maybe think again. as this x as suited me for many a year and I hope to carry on with one.

its hard enough finding proper work for 1 dog never mind 2 , as above bring a pup in when the other 6 year old
