What Adds More Drive Into A Lurcher Beddy Or Collie?

[springfield 20]

As above what are your thoughts alot say collies can pick there runs after a few seasons. But beddy makes them hunt up alot

[tank34 2,347]

The beddy adds drive an fire in a lurcher a beddy greyhound x collie greyhound would make a handy dog in the field mate

[arcticgun 4,548]

Id take a beddy cross over a collie cross any day

[grompz 703]

just my thoughts and experience of running both of these crosses, firstly a lot of colliexs,are thinkers,and work situations out to suit them selfs,alot of lurcher men class this as a cunning clever dog,seen alot that would stalk up to get close to rabbits, and alot that would stand and stare at rabbits till they made amove especially when lamping,not for ME, bedlington xs are more doers if the right type of bedlington is used,they are more up and at em,and game for anything,but alot more head strong,than colliexs,butjust my opinions on them,out of both crosses i would favour the bedlingtonx,if you have the patience to train them,but not slagging tese crosses off as both can make great workers,in the right hands.

I've run both of these types my self and if you want drive deffo beddy but there not all the same all depends what type of beddlington has been used etc

[bird 9,932]

had both xs , and wouldn't have either again. If you want drive and bit of guts in your lurcher, a bull or wheaten , will give this deff . And bull xs are not hard to train, pits are not thick, they like to please there owners , i had bitch was easy to train . and not all bull xs are big dogs there few about not to big, and most wheaten xs are not to big either. If you fancied a herding type , and dont want all the collie traits , then i go for a kelpie x , they give plenty of drive and tough type dog .

From my humble experience Picardy shepherd adds more than enough drive and courage to a lurcher

A no nonsense dog bred for working cattle would have more cutting in it than a softer approach sheep worker type where been too forceful is a disadvantage.

[Phil Lloyd 10,738]

A curious analogy....

By its very nature,..a Terrier has been selectively bred, to seek out and Kill its quarry,...whereas, a purpose bred Herding breed has been created, to move its quarry around,...and preferably,.not fecking kill it...

 

I've kept, bred and worked, lurcher dogs with both influences,...had no real complaints or major problems with any of them,..however,..nowadays,..being an oldy and only wanting the quiet life,..I do prefer the herding dog composites.

What do you term drive?

 

Casting aimlessly around a field ?

 

Desire to master it's quarry ?

 

Or a level headed temperament to be kept under control?

 

For me, no old jukel is a true lurcher without a splash of collie .....

i agree with u 100% but to take it to another level and ive said this a few times on this web site the working dutch shepard or working malinois is goning to blow everything out of the water.and when i say working i mean knpv lines.

Who the f**k in their right minds would put a mal cross in the hands of a regular lurcher man?

 

Probably the most dangerous dog in the world?
