dogmandont 9,813 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Been a long time from I owned a collie x, had one that was excellent a half cross that could lamp all night and loved running foxes more than rabbits the three that came after him were all decent rabbit dogs but were down right cowards when it came to foxes, I think that the thing about them ye just don't know what your gonna get.

It's no good using track bred Greyhounds to a foxy type Collie. You need to find a coursing Greyhound then find a 23 to 24 inch hill Collie that's out of genuine working lines you have more chance of a decent Collie/Greyhound. 1 Quote Link to post

Is there any lines that throw a good percentage of foxing lurchers RM? And I mean collie xs with nothing else in the mix. Quote Link to post

A lot of the ones I've seen are to big and bulky and quite frankly looked useless for anything other than running in a straight line 3 Quote Link to post

breeze 1,305 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Tomo and Chid.... Couldn't agree more with ya. Them coursing bred greyhounds are bred for out and out pace in a straight line, one turn and there cooked ( and I've cleaned that up ) What would be my ideal would be a nice distance bitch still running in top grade at nearly 5 yrs old. Something like this... Edited August 18, 2020 by breeze 10 Quote Link to post
