3/8 collie 5/8 greyhound

[minion 29]

Does anyone work, or has anyone seen one work hare? Are they fast enough for hare? or better suited to rabits?

 

I dont mean a 1/2 cross x 3/4 cross, i mean produced by crossing a 3/4 collie 1/4 grey x a pure grey - the only way as far as i know to get guaranteed 3/8 collie 5/8 greyphound?

 

cheeers

 

 

PS does anyone have one bred the other way - half cross to 3/4? would be intresting to see if someone had bred a litter and kept tabs on all the pups to see if they turned out a level litter?

A mate of mine bred some from a 3/4 collie bitch to a greyhound dog, I think they turned out pretty good, a lad on smoochers has one and says its served him well.

 

Im planning on doing that breeding myself in the future as its the only collie cross I havent tried yet

 

Ive seen a few half x 3/4s and they have been decent

Correct me if Im wrong but 3/8 5/8ths is from breeding a 3/4 cross back to a half cross.

or somet similar

3/4 Grey cros Back to a pure grey dilutes the Collie more you would have 1/8th Colilie and 7/8ths Grey

I think minion means crossing a 3/4 collie 1/4 grey to a grey not a 3/4 grey 1/4 collie to a grey

Better suited to rabbits imo although they will give longears a good run..

My 3/8 5/8 bitch has caught a couple of hares on the lamp, but has never been behind one in the day so could not say for sure whether thay would take daytime hares or not but my guessing would be that she would take some daytime hares but forget the 100yd slips

She is a genuine 3/8 5/8 from everyones friend David Hancock

I have a 3/8 5/8 from a reverse 3/4 to a greyhound.He is ten now and is still serving me well ( although he has slowed up somewhat due to arthitus).I also know of people that run theirs regularly on hare and they do very well.They are a good cross that seem to do well at whatever you use them mostly for.

i bred a litter of reverse 3/8,s 5/8,s i put a first cross collie greyhound dog over my 3/4 collie a 1/4 greyhound bitch, they have ample enough speed to catch the long eared rabbits and my old bitch has caught 89 long eared rabbits to date. regards collie john.

Shes a craker. Real nice looking dog. She looks very similar to my last lurcher. She was 3/4 grey 1/4 bordercollie withe very similar markings to yours,

yea thats what I ment. 3/4 collie x 1/4 greyhound.

 

 

would a litter of 3/4 gery 1/4 collie x 3/4 grey 1/4 collie breed a level litter. Or would it end up mixed like breeding 2 x 1/2 crosses together?
