sandymere 8,263 Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Will always be horses for courses, a specialist will usually beat the all rounder at its own game. But a specialist isn't what everyone wants and a bit of collie helps make a good all-rounder. 1 Quote Link to post

Obviously you better your chances by breeding And entering right but I think a lot to do with how much a dog will put in is down to that dog and how much it wants to work. I would happily graft this bitch against any dog on any terrain over any amount of time and be very confident she will still be working when others have fallen away. Lol Quote Link to post

poxon 5,724 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 this bitch here was only about 1/8 collie she was out of chuck arrowsmiths collie she done very well for me day/night an didn’t lack in the stamina department The collie in there being 1/8 was still highly potent in the mix I think the problems with lack of stamina is down to people keep adding straight greyhound as a easy fix rather than racy bred lurcher to try an prep things up but end up loosing to much per generation adding straight greyhound I’m a believer in type breeding I believe that after you get to 3 quarter bred straight greyhound shouldn’t be added as a continuation on it should always be lurcher to lurcher Unless you breed to heavy base blooded to heavy base blooded your potentially Ironing out an starting again then go back to greyhound or long dog your useing the over base blood lurcher as a base to start a lurcher then next time if you breed back to a racey lurcher just my theory any way 11 Quote Link to post

Nice that I'm also of the opinion that going 2 close 2 the greyhound is not the way forward a grew can be a good thing if u need to go there But what do I know, did he get a new titfor 4 xmas 2 Quote Link to post
gamerooster 1,179 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 I dont like mine, he gets beat up off jack russells, eats any chicks that get out, robs my shoes all the effin time and has now realised that when my hens start clucking theyve made a tasty little snack and he always seems to take a shit where i walk. But bar that hes grand, different to what im used to but variety is the spice of life so they say, already putting a lot of older dogs to shame with his scenting ability, no speed machine but i knew he wouldnt be. Bit sensitive as well but living with me isnt easy so i forgive him for that 3 6 Quote Link to post
