darbo 4,774 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 The dog d sleight has at stud is not a kelpie/grey first cross its a kelpie/collie x line bred whippet/grey. 1 Quote Link to post
Bo Duke 420 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 This is the sire to my bitch, owned by D Sleight I don't know if it's still around. I believe it's a Collie X Kelpie. Quote Link to post
jigsaw 11,863 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I was going to mate my bitch with a full hound later this year but ive rethought the plan and postponed it for the foreseeable future,i havent the room nor the work for another right now.it'll be a terrible waste if I dont get a litter from her in my view but ive enough in the yard for the minute..Ive had some great days of sport with my 1st x,shes capable of most things ,the one thing she never met was a fox as I dont pursue them at all,I wouldnt be too confident in her slaying one either as shes a small bitch at 21-22 tts...She cost me a small fortune when I went to buy her with the motor breaking down and cost of ferry etc but worth every penny..I hope to have a kelpie type here for many years to come... 1 Quote Link to post

gamerooster 1,179 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 It looks a kelpie cross to me, seen a few and they all look like that. .... We've spoke a few times about your old bitch tomo, I remember a pic of her standing in front of a few hares and pheasants with your s410, and I thought that's the dog for me Quote Link to post

gamerooster 1,179 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 That's the one mate, thanks for posting that.... I'm right in thinking she was out of sleights dog wasn't she? If so that'd make her 1/8 collie 1/8 kelpie? Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,067 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Wel I was told the sire was a kelpie greyhound ,,,bred by Dave ,,,but of course you could be right it could have been a kelpie ,collie X grey.. Quote Link to post
gamerooster 1,179 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I always thought it was a first cross kelpie grey, but others seem to know more on the subject.... would you be interested in a pup mate? 1 Quote Link to post
