Yes I can see how they could be a pain. Mine has a high energy levels to say the least. It takes a lot to tire her even now. She is not a big fan of being in the run during the day but in fairness is relativity quiet. When I stop for grub I let her out and  we do some thing even ten minutes training and then shes ok until the evening big walk. She is in a crate in house at night. I made sure there was nothing on it for her to reach but kept finding stuff in there some how. One evening watching tv out corner of my eye I saw this dogs leg reaching around the corner. Must been extendable lol was about 7 feet long   Twigged then she was like bloody cat hooking things in. The good points far out weigh the bad so far. Easy to train and lovely nature. One thing that stands out is she listens under distraction. Down the beach other day she took off to see some folks and there dog. One whistle brakes on flew back. A bomb could go off and she would still do as I ask at least for the moment. Once she gets used to the gun next year then it opens whole new world and I won't be going any where with out her

 

 

This fella still looking for a home pet or working don't matter as long as its a good permanent home

 

Gun, shotgun or air rifle?

Found my own lurchers very good at retrieving what I shot with air rifles.

I got both so will start with air rifle. Then I have a 20G hushpower and then we can go to the 12G  

Shot few ducks in some reedy fields and they are buggers for sneaking off when clipped

Apart from being blue merle, she looks VERY similar to a red merle 1st cross collie/greyhound I bought in 1988, local farm border collie cross greyhound, not hancocks.

Good luck with her.  You get it right, they are right up there, in my opinion.

Heres my collie cross 7 now done everything ive thrown at him over the seasons. His dam was same i mated her to her own nephew to line breed from a very good line of collie lurchers with grey collie n whippet  mainly in mix. lost countof munties n hares hes had ..no hes not a hare dog but like his dam he caught more than his fare share. Having ran collie greys for over 30 yrs before these are just as clever but can work things out for themselves not just trained robots that look pretty stood over warren.Great noses hunt like hounds and its hold ur breath time sometimes when running in woods like i do lol.

will retrieve anything fur feather from water to..can sit with ya with ya gun ..good as gold ..
