Didnt say they did mate just asking what you class as jacking. if you dont what to say thats fine dont mater to me, be a boring world if we all thought and liked the same.

Bill I will agree to disagree with you you ain't see many genuine collie greyhounds work because the one's I've seen work and bred don't jack and I certainly don't want a dog chasing every in site what its no chance of catching and what's all this youngsters of today stuff not many youngsters of today keep rabbiting dogs and all this numbers games there's only a few counties in the country what hold good numbers of rabbits its about being out with your dogs and mates in the fresh air and enjoying yourself which I do.Regards Collie John

Hi John, I live close to Jimmy , he has had top collies for years, I know his sons well enough to , I know what type of dog you are  on about as i hunted them hills since a child . So I understand where you are coming from having had that type of curr dog in the past, fair play as they was once a plenty around these parts , most folk had them but not anymore ,  the best dogs I saw where bred as you have described, Evan though I don’t keep the cross talked about I am a admirer, all the best .
