Mat_Dawg 3 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Im looking for a dog for lamping maybe ferreting if I ever get into it but unsure of the breed I should get. I had a collie cross when I was younger so I've got a thing for collies, I'd like to keep some of their traits in my dog. I've been looking at Hancocks collie cross greyhounds but I'm feeling abit uneasy after reading a few things. What sort of dog should I be looking out for guys? I'm open to ideas Thanks Edited August 17, 2020 by Mat_Dawg Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 most lurchers will do what you want, just find a genuine litter from working parents. preferably doing what you want thye pup to do ,then just go with what you like. 3 Quote Link to post

gnipper 6,467 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 My mate has a litter pal he has 4 pups left the dam is Beddie grey bull grey 24" but only a touch of bull in her, sire 1st cross Beddie whippet 22". I know it's not a collie cross but will be handy little dogs. The parents are good grafters. Atb Adam They sound ideal for the lad. If I was after a dog I'd be looking at these. 2 Quote Link to post
