i'd rather start with just collie x grey and if i find after time i need a splash of summit else then you can add to it if needed.

well the endangered statement was obviously just tongue in cheek but straight collie x grey puppies arent out there unless you go to hancocks.

if you want a straight collie grey f1, it wont have working parents, well not the kind of work you need.

i wouldnt turn down a pup out of a good hard working hill collie to a coursing greyhound though.

Tbh mate I think these are all beginners crosses people that were dedicated an worked them have bred further on than this I think your going to struggle after the bull x in everything phase trying to get the exact % your after unless you visit David handjob good luck anyway.

Over here people use collie/grey to tone down the headbanging attitude of their bull crosses and to improve the daft looking duck feet. You should try it.

Don't beat around the bush mate tell him how it is

Maybe they are "endangered" because as you say people want pups out of working parents ,

And unless working sheep or racing is working you will struggle .

 Coupled with the fact that some add something else that they feel a first cross maybe missing, 

 Or maybe they just ain't wanted any more.

I think you are right there Roybo...

I shall always keep my own home-bred, watered down Collie hybrids, they suit me for the ground I hunt over, but most lads coming into the game today seem to want a far more athletic style of running dog...The genuine F1 hybrid twixt a sheepdog and a Greyhound would still suit me, but I feel I am in the minority...

 Facts are, if such an easily produced hybrid was required, on masse, by the lurcher fraternity,..there would be no shortage of them...

The situation speaks for itself really...
