Collie Blood

[kps1979 1,308]

I've kept collie based lurchers for a number of years now .... best part of 20 odd. I know that they don't suit everyone but they do me just fine, catching me a few bits and bobs

but mine have been generation bred collie types and funnily enough I have never owned a 1st cross dog

 

The last 3 bitches that I have kept ....

Talk about latching on and not letting go, and while on about which type of collie...have any of you watch the video on YouTube of the collies latching on to cattle when being charged into metal fencing and the ground? Opened my eyes abit as you always associate collies with sheep lol il try find vid now and post up

got a good old collie line and saluki collie line none were bred of quitters and would run until they dropped had top racing and grew blood in them tackle anything you put up and as they got older seeked them out toothed qaurry , caut daylite hares boted rabbs foxes tons of roe pre ban , very good dogs still got one at six and she is still going strong , and she has bred good pups ,

 

thing with colie crosses you only breed of the ones that are realy commited not stalking shy cowards , dogs that run to kill , very versATILE POACHING HUNTING DOG BUT YOU NED THE [BANNED TEXT] STUFF TO START WITH AND GOOD PACE

Fascinating video. Hard to watch the dogs getting slammed into the gates, though. I had to watch a few more similar ones after that as the whole herding thing is so interesting. Seeing the way a small predator can gain control over enormous cattle. The power of the eye, that determination and focus is amazing.

I just got the feeling if the dogs were bit harder and use there teeth more, say like a acd would , they control the cattle better , and prob the dogs not get so knocked about. Holding back like they are , is making the cattle domineer the dogs more , well that's how it looks to me. I rather have a acd or a gsd as herding dog, as both have more fire in them than your average border collie

Kelpies are meant to work well with cattle, seen a few videos on Facebook and they seem to pack a bit of fire, meant to be evil as guard dogs to

Supose its horses for courses them border collie look more all round farm dogs rather then just cattle dogs but it does show what kind of skills can be taught to a dog with a decent handler behind it. Hazzard a guess in other hands including alot of farmers couldnt raise or train them to that ability and hence buy them in

are you kidding bird? I told people to listen to what he's saying in the vid before making comments like this.

The dogs are getting swung about and rammed into gates while holding on? I'd like to see dogs not let go by having a cow ram them into fences.

Let's see you gsds do this,?

This site makes me laugh on times. Them dogs are tough as old boots, granted, not every collie will do it. But show me another breed of dog that will do this consistently.

The dogs are told to hold back, lay and wait, and told to move when to move, for the people who in able of listening to videos I suggest you take five minutes and listen, cos it really is frustrating when you hear or see the same bollocks being spouted on here.
