poxon 5,781 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 depends on what you want out the dog an if you want to stick with just collie type if just collie type a half x or 3quarters bred but if you want to keep to old school type then bedlington x of some sort usually adds nice to collie crosses that’s what I’ve found any way it livens the cross up lovely easy to train live with and work an tend not to have the negatives collies have an bedlingtons have Quote Link to post

Fox dog 185 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks lads, much appreciated, she'd rabbit all day and I use to ferret with her, got out of ferrets so lamping and the odd f in the day, too clarify though she never grabbed a f just coursed and would pressure em to a burrow or go a couple fields and come off, prob have left it a bit late with her she's 9 this summer 1 Quote Link to post

pengelli 374 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 like troy says I would put first x collie grey back over her think you would get spot on pups with that Quote Link to post
