been offered a 3/4collie 1/4 greyhound


Recommended Posts


my bitch is more collie than greyhound, she is bang on does

everything and takes it in her stride, she is much better than

my other lurcher and she aint no bag of shite (greyhoundX beardy/border,/greyhound).

Take the trial the dog will either suit you or it wont.

the dog ive been offered looks just like that but a tad shorter

 

its already running the lamp but wont retrieve also is broken to ferrets

ive got a 2 week trial to have on him

 

but theres a big but

it scares very easy guns fireworks and its gone

 

just thought i would ask about the x before i asked about its problems

 

still advice needed its 2/12 is it to old to start retreving

also about load bangs could this be sorted or is it to old

 

any advice welcome

 

regards

You could probably sort the retrieving out but the nervouseness is a different matter,as it,s your first lurcher I would probably give it a miss, :no:

Get yourself a pup mate,plenty to choose from, :thumbs:

yea i wouldnt bother if it has probs with noises.

iv had mine since she was 6 weeks old. But saying that my other lurcher

was 4 years old when i got her and had noise phobia's my other dog seems

to have given her bags more confidance and she is steady as owt now.

its your decision but why take on a problem?

My collie/greyhound has nerves of steel and she's

tough as old boots lol my greyhound/collie can be a bloody mardarse at times!

I fully accept that a dog bred this way will have less speed to muster up than a "conventional" lurcher but I bet there are a lot of pure collies, retrievers, terriers etc which can catch more rabbits than some lurchers. After all, it's not the speed but what they do when they get there.

 

I have an eleven year old pure kelpie who was hit by a van at eleven months old, as a result, he has a completely knackered pelvis and in addition is calcifying up between his vertebrae; but he still catches rats, rabbits and squirrels...because he really wants to.

I had pure bred collies for over 30 years.Never had one that wasnt gunshy. It was no big deal, just didnt use a gun when the collies were about.

 

This cross should have brains, stamina and good feet.

 

If I wanted a collie bred lurcher this is the type I would go for.
