My 3 year old Collie/Greyhound stands 25 inches. 

I'm biased but he's probably as good as you could get as an all round collie greyhound,  his only downfall is his owners past his prime ?

The Border Collie as a breed, is fairly varied in both type, size and shape, therefore,..when we see a variety of lurchers created from differing Sires and Dams,..there will frequently be an amazing a

First collie x grey I’ve had and so far I am really pleased with him and struggling to understand what a bull x would do that a collie x wouldn’t ?? Except a collie cross would do it better ???

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

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.

Don’t be silly mate if you were a bull x man before hand you’d know there’s 2 possibly 3 quarry here a collie x is no match for a decent bull x on

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

Having said that, I would have put the bull x I lost last season against most half x collie greys as a rabbit lamping dog. 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.
