Chid 6,519 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 W.katchum bred Lakeland x collies and seemed happy with them .. Drop him a pm and ask him Quote Link to post
forest of dean redneck 11,594 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 It was a cross I considered once,a few have been used in flyball,but if you get the worst traits of both breeds come out,it's going too be a bloody loony toon. Did your missus say what collie was like? Quote Link to post
tatsblisters 9,632 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 One of the best bushing dogs my cousin owned was an accidental mateing of this cross. Quote Link to post
RussBoy 77 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Cheers lads, both parent dogs are kept as pets I think, although from working lines Quote Link to post
BlackBuck 655 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 One of the best fox hunting dogs I ever witnessed was a cross between a collie/lab and a Russell, he would put hounds to shame . Only thing he always ran mute even when the other dogs wer in full cry . He was always first on and last to give up on a hunt Quote Link to post
stevo79 569 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Bitch at the front collie x jack don't plenty with her best dog I've ever owned demon on rats as well. Just had s tendency to run away. She had a very high prey drive. The dog in the middle is a x of the two front and back nothing would get past this lot. I'd have one again but it was an accidental mating of a working collie and a jack Russell which was found walking the country lanes. 2 Quote Link to post

del1234 4 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Can only give it a try some good dogs have come out of accidental mateings once he sees the other dogs working and having fun he might want to join in and if he comes to not work at least your wife has still got her pet but nothing ventured but allot to gain Quote Link to post

Ive given this mix some thought myself. Especially after seeing the collie X Lakey litter of katchums and hearing how well they were doing. Quote Link to post

Especially after seeing the collie X Lakey litter of katchums and hearing how well they were doing.I'm telling you mate, if I could have her back now I would in s heartbeat she was just up for working. It didn't matter what we were doing she got involved she was great for rounding all our 100's of chickens up that got under the sheds on a rainy evening. ? 1 Quote Link to post
