id say if your thinking of getting a beardie lurcher try and spend time with one first.
every beardie, beardie type I've seen has been quirky (ain't that most collies lol). Only seen two genuine beardie lurchers, a 1/4 bred from the puppy farmer, really well built bitch with a good nose and strike, but the lad couldn't do much with her. Mine was whip/grey x beardie/grey he took getting used to as a pup, total natural especially hunting up, hardy, glass brim full sort of dog, knew what you were thinking before you were thinking it, real miss
