If you wanna go years and years back then you can say all english greyhounds have bull in them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
High Accent 1 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well i dont know of the "collie blood" but to me i know that the ozzie bred Grey is a bit harder than the Irish Greys, one run with a irish grey and it will come back with cuts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chaz 6 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) All greyhounds are related in 12/13 generations and if the collie is that far back then the effect it has is going to be negligible to say the least, a lot of British and Irish bred greyhounds now contain the blood of imported Australian sires and Dams the same as most of the Australian lines carry the blood of British and Irish lines and more and more carry US lines the greyhound industry is Global and good bloodlines soon find their way around the world Edited September 23, 2008 by Chaz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
