[peng 136]

Has anybody used this dog as a stud or seen any of its offspring go...

looks a nice rabbiting type dog says its a kelpie/whippet/greyhound but it a red merle dog so imagine theres collie in the mix to

[wilt 112]

red merle colour comes from kelpie mate

[peng 136]

stand corrected... you know anything about the dog

[FUJI 17,327]

Is Dave Sleight just a puppy peddler? Ive never heard of him doing jack shit EVER?

The Merle colouration has definitely come,.. via an inclusion of Border Collie ....

i only know the breeding from reading a article a bit back. Kelpie from parents of imported stock cross cross blue merle collie gave a choclate red merle dog called Aussie joe this dog mated to a daughter of boy blue whippet/greyhound gives the dog in question outback flash.

daves done alot of hunting over the years, mainly rabs i would say, can train a dog also, made afew bob with studs and odd litter, a decent guy imo.

Picture of dog back of EDRD magazine looks decent collie cur type. As for dave sleight doing any dog work Phil Lloyd would be the man to ask as I think his moon dog came from DS. Obviously if wrong many apologies in advance but so long as whoever is paying for stud fee is happy wtf does it matter.

i thought so i just seen it in edrd at stud and wondered if anyone ever used it or works the blood line

Fluff from here always mentions him think he knows him not sure but pm him

[straight2hand 303]

I thought he sort of pioneered the Kelpie X in a way? He writes in the countryman's weekly sometimes and made a couple of videos on Youtube for training lurcher's, to be fair I thought they were alright but I'm not saying he's some kind of legend. Pretty sure I read he kicks about with David Platts sometimes.

- that's the link for his Vid.

He's a very knowledgable dog man & a very capable dog trainer.i Remember a long way back when he just started doing his lurcher shows at game fairs a woman came up to him with a big scruffy lurcher & said do you want this dog or im goin to have it pts said it was untrainable!! Dave was after a scruffy type for a greengrass bit in his performance & Twoweeks later he had it working in the main ring at a game fair. He's helped me & a lot of other lads out. Imho Top Man

As Phil's said above...there's no way on God's Earth the merle gene came from a pure kelpie.

 

Red, black, cream or blue with or without tan markings...but definitely not merle!

 

Edited to add: that's not taking anything away from the collie line he did use which I believe goes back to Barry Sharpe's Moss...but please correct me if I'm wrong.
