collie x whippet

[SALUKILURCHER 0]

i just want to no your opinion on this,

everyone knows that collie greys are good working dogs but what would happen if you were to make the cross smaller by adding a whippet instead of a grey.. i think they would only make between 18-22 inch max so with there small size would they only be restricted to rabbits or would it be possible for them to take bigger quarry?

which way would you do the line whippet over collie or collie over whippet.

 

does anyone on here own this cross if there is can we see a couple of pics.

 

regards

From the experience that I've had of them they are either absolutely brilliant or completely awful, I know that sounds like I'm sitting on the fence but I mean either one or the other and little inbetween. A lot depends on a) the collie, the whippet, c) the terrain and d) you.
