I'd agree there...not necessarily that they're all quirky...but definitely that spending time with a pastoral pure bred is time well spent if you're considering a cross-bred as they're not quite like other breeds. Having said that, every individual within the breed can be different too but getting to know one (try before you buy) is a good idea. In my case I did it in reverse though...bought a kelpie/collie x greyhound and then went for a pure kelpie. Quote Link to post
Gilbey 1,434 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Neal I was meaning spend time with a beardie lurcher, iv only ever seen two, mine whip/grey x beardie/grey and a bitch from dh 3/4grey 1/4 beardie, she wasn't as good and less quirky, like Iv said mines been a good one just he is different to what I thought he would be, I'm used to salukis lol.

Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I got a beardy grey x beardy border grey x grey He is fine in all respects tbh. Only thing I'd say is if a dog remotely shows abit of aggression or try's to be boisterous, he goes mad. He don't take any shit. But he's always very soft n loyal. My dog used to be real soft mouthed n retrieved , but has started falling short for no apparent reason, must be because my dog hasn't got years of heritage behind it with top class lines from home bred litter LOL Quote Link to post

Slightly off topic where typp ratcher's dog's beardie or border crosses ? ? i think i know who wrote it Typp ratchers dogs were border crosses. Saw a good example of the breeding years ago ferreting in south cumbria. 1 Quote Link to post
