  1. Chin up Mate, some times these feckin working dogs break your feckin HEART. Some dogs you just gel with. RIP Celt BIRD
  2. As long as she as had a litter before, you should be ok. The older bitch more probs you can have, the best age is from 2- 7, if she as not had litter before, i would have a serious think about it. BIRD
  3. Spot on, and how many are really game bred.?, you can have 10 pups in a litter, you might get 2 good un's out of it.?? . They are a great breed, but as above there is still rubbish in them as well.?? BIRD

    one dog

    A long time before Plummer (or anyone else!) started writing books on the 'virtues' of all an sundry crosses, there where Lurchers kept of unknown ancestry and breeding..... Worker to worker, with no definate 'type'..... maybe so but collie and grey have always featured whether it be the old smithfield collie or the present border/beardie x....Poachers of old knew the virtues of such a x....and didn't kill for killings sake. I don't doubt that, Undisputed, collie has always had a part to play (and usually a big part at that!) but for me, traditionalist or not, and being old
  9. Well done, some dogs learn the hard way, then they kill with out getting Bit. BIRD
  10. Spot on, you must be [ owner] top dog. BIRD
  11. Add a 3/8 collie 5/8 grey dog in the 80s, he would get 8 or 10 on lamp most nights. He had one night 8 rabbits two foxes , on local ground. Got a 1x collie grey dog pup now, it will be next season for him FOR the bigger bags.??? BIRD
  12. Hi Nick, went out last week, only his 2nd night in the lamp and he as had 4 rabbits, its not alot but he is very keen. Went out this morning, he found a mixy and brought that to me. I will try him again , on the lamp wed night, its supposed to be windy. ray BIRD
  13. Hi Nick, ive had both, and i get on better with Dogs than Bitchs. They seem to suite my personality more than bitchs,like Bryn a feckin nutter . ray BIRD
  14. Great, he must still be quite fit for his age, foxes arnt slow. Ive seen younger dogs , that struggle to pick up a fox , pre ban days. My old bitch [bitza] who died at 13, would tackle anthing, and still catch the odd rabbit at 10 years old. She was 1/4 collie, grey,whippet, ?, 25ins and 55lb the best catch dog i ever had. [ Bess] BIRD
  15. A good 3/8 collie 5/8 greyhound, if you drop on a good one, they will do every thing you want. BIRD

  17. its no good having a GLASS JAW in that Game. SPOT ON Tommy BIRD
  18. Spot on, ive got a 1x collie grey, 24ins and 58lb, a fair pace + and strong with it. BIRD
  19. hope so ray you been doing much or aint you kicked off yet seen your mate andy today mate Just started the pup on the lamp, go on my own alot now. Get more out of the pup, its a lot easy with out another dog there. Next season will be the one BIRD
  20. Nice dog, should fill the bag. BIRD
  21. When its very wet, and No Wind the rabbits will hear you come in a feckin 500 yds away. And if you are on stuble, its worse still . Ive been out in all weathers, and you still can catch big and small stuff, but ive found when its realy wet its that much harder Still if we wait for the right condition's, you would never get out. Catch what you can BIRD
  22. i RECKON, a 24ins dog should handle anything, ive had 26-27inch dogs and they caught ok, but i think a 24inch dog is that bit more agile. BIRD
  23. Well i am doing well so far with Bryn, had two rabbits on the lamp 12.30am. Its only his 2nd go on the lamp, not bad for 11month old pup. They was a few squaters, but not clicked it. . So my aim this season, get him to take squaters, and bring him a back in one piece. As he is a mad b*****d, he would go through a feckin brick wall after game. A mad 1x collie grey BIRD
