simba 1 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) he was doing ok to be honest he his 12months old and taking rabbits ok the only fault i had with him his you had to watch his weight (not that we dont with all our dogs) he put it on very fast if you werent carefull he his very very keen and when he back and fully fit im sure he will do what i want him to do : as for speed he was ok he kept up on runs with my 1st cross bitch who is very fast not sure on hares Edited August 12, 2008 by simba Quote Link to post

borderland 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I had a 5/8 collie greyhound dog , bought him of a lad who used him for ferreting and the odd hare. He was fine for speed but wouldnt be an ideal hare dog. I took him for foxes and the first year he killed all that was put in front off him. Twice during the year he killed 3 in the 1 day. He had a knack for lifting foxes by the back of the neck. The following year he was going well until 1 day he caught a fox by the tail and wouldnt go near the biting end , I threw the fox up the field and he did the exact same again. Had to get another lurcher to kill it. Was going to give him another chance but during that week he broke into my good patterdale terrier beside him and killed it. Shot him that evening Quote Link to post

borderland 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I think the best option having had both types is a mix of both collie and bull in there. Am gonna breed the same type myself mate, have a working greyhound that will be getting covered the next time she breaks Quote Link to post
