Thought Dalmatians were spotty?

[Neal 1,857]

Yep! I was tempted by a gundog (as I've not been getting on with one of my other kelpies) but decided that, if I changed now ( after five kelpies during the last twenty two years) I'd probably regret it. I went back to the same breeder who bred Noggin, my ultra laid back Bob Marley-like best mate.

Anyway...back to those stunning collie crosses...

Yeah, I'm of a similar mind set..

I only do a wee bit of Mouching after the odd rabbit and Roe, so I don't really need much of a performance dog or high class jukel...

I just use a roustabout cur, and live in hopes 

Certain colours attract me,..  don't know WHY,.. but, I stopped trying to figure it out, many years ago

 Spots or Speckles,...I find them all,...interesting....

 Stay safe now lads,...kind regards, OldPhil.

I like pieds, brindles roans. So did this fella. Click on the title.

Damn, that is a beautiful dog!

For me collies are to frustration, irritation and stress as deerhound crosses are to peace, tranquility and low blood pressure. Had a Hancock collie/grey. Drove me fooking nuts! Bugger haunted me for 14 years. Kept thinking this will be the last year but it lived to just short of 15. Mrs and kids loved it. I f****n didn't.

Had a Hancock once. I'm not a fan either. Lacked any drive.. I always preferred to breed my own. worker to worker. Perfect for me now having heavy collie blood though. IV got my "aim an fire" bitch but I'm not getting any younger an don't do anywhere near what I used to. Laws got insane. So an ol cur companion that looks like a mongrel kicking about the bushes an capable on a lamp is ideal for me these days.
