MR RABBIT 715 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Are we all in agreement now...breeders can charge what they want...gifted dogs don't mean they will be shite and not everyone's dogs are crap...and to stop picking on beddie lurchers when things get heatedaye the poor beddie type always gets a beating they can handle it but it takes a specail type to own a collie cross so they say or does it can't make its mind up pmslI couldn't take a risk on collie types.. Imagine getting to top of a Monroe and decided I don't want to run today... I would boot it back down the hill...or after a big bag then decided to stalk...or Worse lifted there head not looking at beam...I would have a hairy fittYeah that would be a nightmare! Is that true then? Do collie x give up? Just Ones I have ran with are total opposite, don't no how to quit. I take it ur collie curs haven't lifted there head on a night out frankle...but I've seen loads that have...when it's pishng down and going for well over 3 figure bags..which can happen regularly in a season up here Edited December 29, 2015 by MR RABBIT Quote Link to post

Do you think it matters about the type of collie bred into them? Or the lurcher there put too? Can there be too much collie in a lurcher? Some genuine questions Quote Link to post

She started picking runs. And choosing her days to work. Had this convo with him loads and loads. You can train prity much anything into a dog apart from heart and desire to catch. Hes got something decent in the pipeline so fingers crossed he have more a dog he used to and start getting out with us a lot more again. Nothing worste then dog with no heart or drive.
