Saluki71 110 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 That black and white one looks like a dog my dad had 35 years ago and he said the dog was excellent, we had collie greyhound, deerhound greyhounds for years before our land changed from field to fen. Anybody remember Eddie Jones 'Celt' my dad knew Eddie and he said Celt was a really good dog. 1 Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Saluki- he could be better if I'm honest, he had terrible trouble lat season which was supposed to be his first proper season, so couldn't do alot. This season I'm hoping the long rest etc done him good, he's a good catch dog. Retrieve abit sketchy, putting it down to shoulder injury to be honest. Was out othernight and picked one up first run nice, and retrieve alot better. Hoping to put more Infront of him September though Quote Link to post

Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 The pup is something else to be honest, steady eddie lol but once blood is up he's nuts. Best pup iv had or seen about my mates. Quiet kennels,confident, retrieve recall, stock training, swims etc all spot on. Couldn't ask anything else of him. 1 Quote Link to post

Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) The brindle bitch on the left, 3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie, I had mainly for coursing during late 70's through early 80's. Below are, dog 1/2 cross, (dead now), Pup, a Hancock bred, roughly 1/4 collie, which I still have now at seven years old. Below is another half cross dog I had in the 80's As you might guess, I've always liked the collie crosses and still do. Get the right one and rear it right and they'll do anything.

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Nice pics Maximus ferret. Thanks for sharing them. Can't beat the olduns. It seems like these collie crosses can be hit and miss, same as most mixes I suppose. But get a good one and they do the lot. Alot of lads speak very highly of them. Quote Link to post
