Collie bull grey she wasnt racier just not as muscled up as she was in her younger years, a picture of her in her younger years retrieving a shot hare. 7 Quote Link to post

Not to bad considering it was his first daytime jaunt out. Turned out a nice stamp you wouldn't think that he was 1/2 greyhound would you? Quote Link to post

Just goes to show the importance and affects of line breeding n inbreeding to even when you outcross to a pure your genes are still strong n locked compared to say your run of the mill collie bull greyhound x pure you may not get that sure is interesting as will be when you go back in later..

I had her in the yard for months to make sure I got on with and liked her. Temperament etc was more important to me than just being a greyhound. 2 Quote Link to post

She was treat like a lurcher in every other way, jeep trained, exercising doing five mile three times a week following the quad threw woods tracks over fields, she ran into a few trees when out exercising she did learn to respect her environment and was never injured to seriously but TBH I didnt want to run her properly and risk bad injury or death. 2 Quote Link to post

TBH I don't get to hung up on how much of this and that is in them. I look firstly at how they gel/bond to me and then how they perform in the field.

Over the generations I see two running styles from what I've bred or something in between. The greyhound stuff more like type 2. 1st type a steady dog that will pace itself and mop game up all night drops a gear and shows its speed when needed to put a strike in, they run night in night out from 12 till 5 without injury, ailment or much problem. They just seem to never ail. 2nd type a dog that uses its speed like a sprinter, an acrobat with little fear for its own safety hits game quick in spectacular fashion with somersaults etc, absolutely brilliant to watch but this style can take its toll on their bodies shortening a career with speed related injury's etc, much harder type to maintain they have to be closely monitored especially at the beginning of the season before full fitness etc. I love to watch type 2 but if I had to choose to own one dog it would be a type 1. A bit long winded but best way I can answer your question. 8 Quote Link to post

I agree, the dogs I keep I would describe as type 1, I’ve had both types and as much as the full on ones can be fun to watch it’s not so much fun carrying them off the field or burying them. A clever dog with a big heart & a reasonable turn of pace ticks all the boxes for me, the best dogs I’ve seen run haven’t been out and out speed merchants they’ve just been fast enough & knew how to use it. 2 Quote Link to post

Every time you run a dog could be the last! its much less heart breaking if the dog has some regard for its own safety and well being. 1 Quote Link to post
