This was before Rich, had him for [5] years .He got[ hurt] one night lamping ,and never was right again . Got my first bullx in[ 93] 3/8 bull 5/8 grey. He died at 18 months old [brain tumour] next one 1/4 bull 3/4 grey , he lasted [4] years .He smashed in to a gate ,when lamping a fox that was the end of him Went back to colliesx = Bryn now[22] months old, still like bullxs. I think [colliexgreyx bullxgrey] might be the way to go now, as having had both xs . And all of them gave 100% on all quarry. Ray i agree with you i think that will be my next cross provideing mine make the grade

I have thought that my self over the years. I reckon a 1/4 lab 3/4 grey, would make good lurcher[brain,speed,good coat+feet, and should make good retriever. pity you dont see them about.??? I had that very cross 20 years ago mate, it was a fairly useful dog took to water like a duck, and caught plenty of feathered game, strange thing was it had a bite like a great white, it was the hardest mouthed dog i ever owned. I gave it to my mate who really bonded with it, and it turned out to be a real charlie killer, just shows when breeding theres no surefire way of knowing what you may get.

Thanks lads, he was a good dog. As i said he was a good on rabbits+red coats, people think colliexs are not tough dogs. Blaze was good quite soft mouth on rabbits, but feck me he hated foxes +cats. Soft with poeple+dogs, but would go feckin mad on red coats. Great dog
-
just some old pics of my collie grey [3/8 collie 5/8 grey]. Blaze was 26 in 70lb, good on rabbits and good on red coats. Not so good on the bigger rabbits, but had a few. He would tackle anything, a good honest dog. This was in the late 's, and yes i had some feckin hair . If you had colliex grey like him, you would not go wrong Ray

Dont forget [rabbits] are lower in protein,? so you will need chicken+fish[oil]

Labs, .When you have pups, the last thing you need is a dog [what ever the breed] to nail your pup. I try my best to make sure that only friendly dogs come to the pup.When they get older like Bryn [22] months, if another dog comes to him and the owner [wont] put it on the lead. I slip him straight away, so he [defend] him self [fight or get out of the way. Many time in the past you got your dog on the lead, and it gets nailed its best to give your best chance,and it carnt do feck all on the lead. -

You know with a dog of that breeding, that it will kill long-hears. Ok its a pup and when they catch it is a great , but why feckin run it on leverits . You could started on some easy rabbits, you have proved feck all.? See what it can do in dec.
-
Nice pics+dog, the 1/4 bull 3/4 grey, are good on rabbits+red coats
-
The[ deerhoundxgrey x bullxgrey] sounds a good x, not to much bull or deerhound.Just right for small+large game. As long as they [dont] come out to big, should make good lurchers
-
Spot on, any dog can feckin hurt you, from jack- dane. But when a powerful dog which as above , kicks off you are in Big shit. Bryn my 1x collie grey is 24in 59lb, is strong and feckin big teeth. And when you see him crunch a feckin beef bone, he could do alot of damage. But other breeds which are more powerful, are in a differnt league .And yes some breeds [do] get in the [wrong] hands.
-
Well done , good job you go out late with or with out permission, coming back 6am i still feckin do it
-
You know what she NEEDS
-
Well just a few tip's then, kennel them seperate then, and [try] to take them out on there [own] if can do this.It will in the long term be better for you and them.
-
Yep, with any working dog, you want it to bond to you. And when they [sleep,eat,plaly together] 24/7 they will start to bond to each other, and not you. I had 2 Bryn+brother, and thats what started to happen. So i sold his brother,and Bryn changed from that day. He as bonded 100% to me, i know people keep 2 pups on, and it might work. But it is 100 times [easier] with one.
-
You wont go wrong with a 1x collie grey, good nose,good feet,+coat. Will be quick enough for rabbits, and 1x's are tough dogs that will face any cover to get a rabbit. Every1x collie grey ive had [male's] were brill in any thick cover, that you get in woodland. Ive had them when lamping , pull rabbits out of woods and bring back to field , they are spot on rabbit dogs and can do bigger stuff as well.

Thanks John, got feckin heavy head, thank feck its just once a year
-
Thanks Stu, and SC. Thanks lads, 25 years of lamping+mooching with good dogs+mates keep you fit+young
-
It could be ok, just with [some] GSD they can have alot health probs[HD..........] . you might not get any, as its been bred down with other breeds. I read that police go out of the UK for GSD's now, as they not what they want in this country. So if you use a GSD, make sure its from good [lines].

The is big differnce, from poaching a bit game[rabbits,few birds] to breaking into some feckers house with a knife,iron bar or with a feckin Gun. In his shoes we would [All] done the same thing
