whitefeet4190 1,725 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 That’s all I’ve ever had mate, I’ve had 3/4 grey bull 5/8s 3/8s , 3/4 bull 1/4 grey, they all been good dogs and do love a nice bull x but I just think these collie xs are they way forward, I know bull xs do excel at stuff collie xs wouldn’t and vice Versace u can’t really compare them as they are two different animals but as a good all rounder I like them 2 Quote Link to post
Gospel 125 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Nice to see collie x still getting used I like them love a rough coated collie my self 1 Quote Link to post
SheepChaser 8,083 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Trust me there are things a good bull x would do that you’d find it harder to get a collie x that would. There will be some collie xs out there doing the same but harder to come by. A large part of that is they are bred and selected for it. Could do the same with collie xs but few do. And if you were after a straight up fox dog and terrier mans dog, you’d probably find a higher % of half x bull greys would do it over half x collie greys. And that’s not knocking the collie, I’ve plenty of those. It’s just reality. 6 Quote Link to post

poxon 5,718 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I like collie xs a lot so much so I have collie blood in my dogs but to say they better than a straight bull x if the dog for the jobs used for killing a bull x has it in the bag if that’s the job if your on about rabbiting I’d agree collie x all the way some are more but not many Quote Link to post

Not as quick off the mark etc as a little collie whippet grey type. But she would do as good as any half x collie grey I’ve seen on them. Ram like a dream, retrieved live to hand, smashed cover, etc. Find them very easy to train and work to be fair. Quote Link to post
