FUJI 17,328 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I still have my cur Fluff,he's seen his best days i know that but still he enjoys life & more importantly i enjoy having him around,he has nothing to prove to me these days and he still gets his jaws into action on occasions which keeps him content,im more concerned on testing out my desert dog this season,ive ran him over the water several times this season,he ain't blanked yet but next time he may well do lol the ferry journeys are more problematic to me than whether he catches or not haha,ive ran him up in the Highlands again he hit the bullseye,ive had him out with the digging dogs,he done what was expected of him,ive ran him almost everywhere in the UK and he's ran well and caught an array of quarry,my one final "must" with him is to take him to the Fens and thats where he's heading before 2015 is out,i have the invite so we will be heading South real soon..the dog is no world beater at all,i have better dogs in the kennels but by taking him i know ive had him out of his comfort zone and id be over the moon if he runs well without even catching..ive long given up on the numbers game,the competitive edge has gone lol..im just out to enjoy my dogs now and what the countryside offers either on my own or with like minded people..be it my collie x,the saluki lurchers or even just the little Pom i treat them to the best of my ability if they can in return try their best whilst working to whatever standard that is i can live with that matey..hope the dogs stay injury free and a merry crimbo and happy new year to you buddy ?? 9 Quote Link to post

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) I hunted with Paul's Maggie,..he stayed with me, darn sarf,...and he was a sensible lad,...he knew that his 'Reverse Three Quarter Bred Collie',.. was limited,.very fecking limited Most lads who have done a bit are completely aware of this fact... As I said,...we keep the dogs that are suitable for the task at hand,..IF we want something else,.we will go and get it.... Edited December 12, 2015 by Phil Lloyd 10 Quote Link to post

jake824 517 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 So is there a particular line of collie blood that produces. I tried a few collie crosses and they never liked teeth much. Not saying they would nt touch fox but they would nt kill em regular . I know there s lads on here with collie x s doing it and I ve seen some crackers both out with hounds and around holes. but they were one offs and never produced fox dogs when bred from to similar collie x s. So is there or was there a specific collie or line of collie that threw anything that had a hatred of Charlie ? Quote Link to post
