    do you run whippet/ greyhounds too? No got a 1x collie grey, he is 15 months old, 24ins 60lb. He is ok , still a young dog yet. Ive seen a few whippetx greys run, and they make good catch dogs. yea hes a good catch dog when we work the bullxs we run him too he puts the turns in on the bigger stuff, is your dog hancock gear? No , he is bred by a mate, 26 in greyhound 60lb bitch to 22in working collie thats works cattle+sheep. He as fare pace for a 1x, good coat+feet, and stamina should be good as he gets older. Had few rabbits on the lamp, try him on bi

    This is one of the drawback's working terriers+ lurchers together , it can be great fun But it can and does feck your retrieve up with your lurcher. I know some lads will say, there terriers are well trained and dont pinch the catch from the there lurchers, maybe but most Do.

    The Irish Terrier sounds a good x to a grey, the Irish have a good coat, they are leggy+fast, and hard little feckers. I wonder why they are not used more, for lurcher work.??

    Just read about the deerhound+ deerhoundxs, just wonder if anybody ever use a wheatenx grey to a deerhoundx grey.? Ive seen colliexgrey xdeerhoundx grey work, and it was a very good dog, but never seen a wheatenxgrey xdeerhoundx grey work. Anybody.??

    Theres many a bullx has put collie crosses to shame with puting grub on the table... its not only foxes they can slaughter... Ive had both colliexs and bullxs, and both make good lurchers. Both were good on rabbits+fox, colliexgrey =70lb bullx grey=70lb, but i think the colliex was more agile, and could catch that bit more than the bullx. Bullx is ok as long as you use them for the right job, and not everybody does.??

    yes, but not to much.? as been said the down side to them. A colliexgrey x deerhoundx grey make a great lurcher, a 1/4 deerhound is plenty. This x was very popular in the 70s

    Brave bloke , i would do same. If i didnt it would never get it out my feckin head Some times dogs can get you down+do your head in but there is nothing better than a good old workingdog, you wont get a more loyal mate.

    No mate, to me this post about killing dogs [ because of money]. All my dogs are broke to Stock, and every dog ive had in 25 years as been, but dont feel sorry for any farmer, because what he looses in stock, he will get back easy eg ..... from the goverment. Ok the dogs should have been under control or on a lead, but he was wrong what he did. And most farmers hate lurcher lads, i walk my dog by sheep every day on and of the lead, and the landowner is fine with that. But as i said stock is just money to a farmer, my dog worth alot more than money to me.

    Spot on, what gets my back up, is all stock is bred for the dinner plate, and all means to a farmer is money.They dont think of any animal like we do, even there sheepdogs are just a tool to them, and they shoot them once they are to old to work. Go back in the night and kill as many as you can, and hit him were it hurts in is pocket. It might make him not so trigger happy next time.

    Great Dogs, do they ever use bullx greys on yotes, as they have plenty of pits out there. ? or do stags do a better job, as a 45lb yote must be alot tougher than a 20lb dog fox? and thats what some bullxs were bred for as a fox dog in the UK pre ban?
