damashaman 1 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 its a very good cross in my opinion. I have crossed a 3/4 collie greyhound to a pure pit bitch in the past and had some great pups that all did superb at any job given to them, stick with that dog it will pay dividens trust me.

stormrider8 59 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 maybe a bit of brain. A bit of brain is allways good depending on what you do most. Day time work is good. But for lamping ive seen far to many collie cross dogs refuse to chase because they think they are being clever. For example rabbits to close to a hedge or deer to far away. Seen lots of others succeed when a collie cross fails. Cant ever knock a dog who trys Quote Link to post

Guest ooty Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) i disagree my 3/4 collie g,hound hit hedges,gorse,bramble etc as hard as they can be hit as does her mother,a half cross,makes me cringe sometimes when she does,she will throw herself across the ground to pick a golf course rabbit and usually come up with it in her mouth when ground is to hard for a dog of her size to grip and turn.however,iv a litter of bull,g,hound x collie g,hound from her mother who is now retireing about to hit the floor that im realy looking forward to.

Guest ooty Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 also iv had all my dogs from pup so i can train them myself Quote Link to post
Guest ooty Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 iv always worked collie crosses with no problem and always will,i came by chance across a very smart bull x so after all the talk i thought id try one for myself,to be honest he has nothing more to offer than my collies and is no where near as sharp,after an accident though im about to have abull x collie x litter by the morning at the looks of things.
