Collie Greyhound

[Richard Warwick 50]

Hi guys I'm looking to get another lurcher in the next few months. I want a collie greyhound but I'm stuck between first cross and 3/4 greyhound. Pup will be an all rounder ferreting, lamping and bushing with terriers. What do you reckon is a better cross, half X or 3/4?

I got a 3/4 last night 10 weeks old buzing

My friend has got a 3/4 bitch mate she's mustard on the lamp and 27" I'm going to get a Hancock dog, either 3:4 or half cross

[fourtrak73 1,334]

I also have two collie whippet greyhounds cant go passed this breed for lamping imo atb fourtrak

Why not go for a 3/8th 5/8th which is in between?

Love border collie x greyhounds, my bitch is 25 inch and was very quick in her day especially off the mark for a first cross.....very rubust....not without their hiccups though....but arnt all breeds?

 

If your only wanting collie and greyhound in the mix have you considered the border beardie x greyhound combo,,,,,I would take this over the straight border collie x greyhound.

 

Does Hancock still do the 5/8 collie greyhounds?

He does 5/8 grey 3/8 collie but not 5/8 collie 3/8 grey

My fault that's what I meant......he did used to do the odd reverse cross though......I think?

Yes they were done at one point but hardly ever done now

The stud he uses to produce the 3/8 collie has a mix of beardie and border in it .. I've seen a pup that was around 10 month old and it was a big strong mutt that looked like it would be able to run any where..

 

If I wasn't wanting a reverse 3/4 collie for my next mutt id look at a 3/8 myself

The half x could be on the heavier side if it throws strong to the collie, you should stand a better chance of a racy one 3/4 bred. I have a half bred hancock bitch here now 9 months old, nice and racy, hopefully will do the ferreting/lamping job well enough.

If you want a all rounder go 3/4 grey 1/4 collie should catch anywhere. Half x can be limited.

I have a 3/4 bred at the minute off Hancock off merlin...superb pup and he has a solid robust collie body not too greyhoundy, cracking feet takes a nock and is very very keen for a pup.

I know lots of boys with dogs off merlin all have sound temp taking all sorts day an night.

Arthur throw big half x but also dogs off him taking all things day n night but more limited at the obvious. Atb with your choice mate

Is merlin a son of Arthur?

[Somewhereyournot 1,117]

Ye mate. Arthur is a collie produces half x. And the son of him is merlin and he produces 3)4 grey
