Beardie/border Collie Greys

[hare_n_hounds 157]

Never owned a beardie before, only border. New pup I'm down for is a beardie/border x grey. What's people's experiences been with beardie crosses in comparison to border collies. Thanks

Having owned a beardie cross for 4 years I'd recommend going border cross ?

Best dog I ever saw was bred this way. Just as bright as the border cross but a little less intense but still high drive. And some of the best feet you will see come from beardies

My old beardie cross has been has been nigh on unbreakable and is a pleasure to be around. I know a few people that have had or got beardie/border crosses from Hancocks and rate them. I had a little bitch that was beardie/boarder cross that was making a good rabbit dog but broke her neck at around 2 and a half year old.Must admit i got a soft spot for the beardie.

My old beardy border grey was coming on well until 3 year old and then I don't know what happened. Was a total dick head of a dog. Now have a border x grey and live a much happier life ?

But then again there are some good out there, just depends how much hair u have left.

Atb with pup

I've got a beardie x here and she's coming 15 if I could clone her I wouldn't hesitate, been a great bitch for me, I'd definitely take a pup out of her offspring

They seem like they're either great or a nightmare with no normal average dogs in the middle.

Gnipper does yours have border blood as well or just beardie?

 

I know one or two people who have had first cross beardie grey and I get the impression they can be quite hard work. The mixed collies seem to provide the best if both worlds in some ways it would seem

I can't fault her mate she's 3/4 greyhound 1/4 beardie,she's took everything I've put in front of her and has been good with feather day and night, apart from teeth which I have no real interest in she's taken them when cropped up, she's been really good all round bitch for me and miss working her

Any beardie greys done ok on Fox?

I've a touch of both in mine with a good drop of bedlington very sound temperament and easy to live with at home and out in the field just a handy dog to have around. I would how ever like a strait beardie greyhound, wether it happens or not is another thing
