My Collie x Grey bitch, Meg...

Meg is by John's dog Dan to a half cross dog owned by a fella in Northumberland. 

Three came south, one didn't work out but two are doing ok.

Meg works out at 55% Collie, 45% Greyhound. Decent hunter, very good retriever but lacks a yard of pace if I'm honest.

I'll aim to get some better pics of her. John might have some info on how the litter mates are progressing.

Even for them breeze they need pace,  you need atleast 1/2 running dog in the mix to catch well, never seen the sence trying to make a lurcher slower,  when it job to catch fast quarry.

Nice to see a honest post

Just to clarify.... she can catch!

My last bitch was about 21/22 and a very quick. Skye would catch rabbits off long slips on heavily grazed fields. Meg just doesn't have quite the pace to do that quite as well as I would like.

She is still young and hasn't seen as much as I would like. I hope to put more game in front of her next season.

I reckon when a bit more experienced she will be spot on.
