What's people's opinions on these crosses ?

I had a bitch from parents 25-26 and she end up 29, useless on rabbits and other small stuff, not to bad on the obvious.

They were probably the best, and most common type of all rounder in northumberland about twenty years ago, had some good days and nights with these types

Deer/grey x collie/grey, 27tts and about 25kg.

 

Nearly 3 years old. Been v.slow to mature, had her on lamp couple of times last season with a mates dog+it was embarrassing, she was more interested in acting daft and playing around like a 3 month old.

 

Been to Lincolnshire+Dales a fair bit in daytime and she's great to watch in full stride.

 

Bit of a wimp compared to beddy whippet i had years ago, she won't even pick her way through cover never mind smashing into it.

 

Very laid back and great temperament though, real easy going with people, friendly etc

 

Have my doubts how she'd fair if she was worked real hard, but she's a spot on mooching companion doing bits+bobs, which i'm more than happy with

I bred this hybrid back in the 1980s,...an Ardkinglas Deerhound, over an Irish Coursing Greyhound bitch,...then,..straight back to a capabul Herder...

Great end result,...fabulous worker,...truth is,..I owed that old bitch,..big time....££££....

 

Would I have another,..no,..no need....

That the bitch you wrote about paying your mortgage with and plummer wrote a big old article calculating how many rabbits you need to catch saying it wasn't possible, but you didn't actually say anything about rabbits?
