Very good point right there P.  Been saying the same for years.  Don't really know where all the competetive shite has come from, ie; I caught 25 last night, yeah?, I caught 30 AND a hare, yeah?, I caught 30, 2 hares AND a fox etc etc!  Who actually gives a f**k?!  As long as people get out and catch a few, with the cross/type they like, surely that's ALL THAT MATTERS?!

Not my intention d
 Be good to hear some honest thoughts on the cross rather than the usual stuff on here ie beddys are shit collies are shit unless we’re talking bull xs or saluki without getting in to all this competitive my dogs better than yours stuff 

I run a Saluki  x now and I’ve an old beddy x bitch at 16 a little grafter an a true poachers dog can’t fault them . The brother to mine was put over a beddy / Grey so i think I’ll line breed her back to one

I once bought one from Carlisle way years ago she would eat and bury any rabbit and hare she caught but on bigger edible she was mustard took many a knock and kept at it she had a nack how to run certain gear I kept her for a certain job sadly she died doing what she enjoyed def a very capable cross im  surprised you don't see more of this cross

LamperNM sorry if I’ve come across as hijacking your post mate. Got any close ups of your dogs mate?

Just a small bitch stands just over 22” I’m happy with her put plenty rabbits away with her last season and she retrieved a few other things..  first dog with beddy in the mix and definitely gives them an extra bit of drive have ran colliexdeerhound types 

[LamperNM 117]

It’s nice to see this traditional cross  and lads still rate them nice to look at something with out saluki in for a change

 Two I had in the 80s that also helped when I was on strike for a year.

They can fill a freezer that’s for sure.. I have a bitch she is only small 22 1/2 inches but does me well so far how tall is this dog I love the coats on them the beddy and collie does add a good coat to them 

That’s a cracking bitch you got there matethey can fill a freezer. mines 23 an 3quarters this was my bitches first season she played a blinder for me I’m really happy with mine. The cross seems to have a good coat,feet,an high prey driven an want to please and run every run all guns blazing I like how the cross don’t think to much an just wants the catch an won’t think to much or of it’s own safety
