Sirius 1,391 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 My though is ARE they fast enough for my type of ground? Look great ferreting on the fells, but can they catch as well on short grass and drill? 4 Quote Link to post

gnipper 6,424 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Would that quarter grey make them much faster than a racy/leggy collie? 1 Quote Link to post

juba1972 27 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 What would you use that cross for would it have enough boot for anything ? Cheers Quote Link to post
cold pint 330 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 They will always be the sort of lurcher that don't appeal to the masses but they who choose this sort of dog will be sure to know what the need and want from a dog 4 Quote Link to post
beast 1,884 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 what does a reverse do that a first cross can't do? first cross has everything that the reverse has plus a bit more pace 1 Quote Link to post
forest 137 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 A reverse can't catch. Slow as a snail they will only be any good to sit over a set. Personally I like sumat fast to sit over a set. A reverse dog couldn't catch a thing were I go 1 Quote Link to post
