How come no one seems to have good working black eyed white ferrets any more?
15 years ago they seemed to be all over the place?

gotta be collie x's for me, they've got it all....maybe not like a grew on bowling greens or a saluki or d/h cross on big land or the determination of a terrier x,collie x's are tough as old boots though and i'd rather hang about while mine stalked a bunny than take a more instant aim and fire type to the vets regular, without wanting to offend anyone as a rule (and there made to be broken) they are imo consistently better retrievers an absolute must for a good rabbiter
Never a truer word spoken. Spot on!!

i would go back to the dummy and the fur dummy and keep going intill she fully understands the fetch comand then keep changing what you send her for eg a teddy, keys, a bottle, peasant wings, then eventually she will understand that what ever you send her to retrieve she will bring back. then just send her to retieve cold game and if she fully understands what is required of her it should be plain saling :-/

Been covered a million times! Who gives a f**k!
prize the the most pointles post!!

Go back to basics, first make sure he understands what you want of him, call him in a small area and reward, do this repeatedly intill learnt, remember 1 comand only, then once learnt if he doesnt respond scruff him and take him to where you said the comand and repeat in a stern voice. never let the pup get away with ignoring your comand.
good luck

I am due to pick a pup in the next week or so,
What do people look for when choosing a pup? I dont mean personality wise i mean build and feet mainly.
If you have 8 pups and some are going to turn out heavy and some racey are there any ways of telling them apart at a young age?
Cheers

Well i already have a girl here with a touch of collie in her, she is perfect and does all i ask of her, the problem is she has smashed 3 toes on the same foot and the injurys are re occuring so i fancy something trainable and solid, i am a bit scared to go for a half cross because of all i here about the lack of speed and the sensetive nature of them, but also think a 1/4 would be a little risky as i only run rabbits on quite rough ground. I have found a litter that is lurcher 2 lurcher where the pups come out 3/8 5/8.

Hi,
I often hear of Collie blooded lurchers being of a sensitive disposition, what do people mean by this and how does it affect the training of them?
I am also interested to hear about peoples experiance of training these type of lurchers, ie; sucsefull methods and problems encountered and ways to over come them.
Thanks for your help
Alex
the only lurcher is a collie greyhound.. all the rest are longdogs... brains of the working collie and speed of the coursing greyhound...
So beddy/greys, beddy/whips, deerhound/greys, bull/greys, etc etc are longdogs infact I don,t know why I am replying to that stupid fookin comment
couldnt agree more

There must be some people out there who experienced difficulties and overcame them, or even people who have some interesting storys about the training of this canine super mind. I am also perticularly interested in around the house, things like tempement with children, herding instincs and over possesive behavour that you so often hear about with pure collies? Also the entering to quarry, would i be right in saying the more collie in the mix the harder this can be?
Thanks to all the people who have already replied

How do you disiplin them then?
I have trained spaniels, pointers and lurchers before and at some point i have had to scruff/bollock them, just wandered what people do with really sensitive types?

Great post, lovely looking dog too, i think you are spot on, good luck

I would insist it!! you should train your dog how you require him to be trained, i got mixed up with some trailing people and found my self taking there advice and it was all a waste of time as i dont trail!
You would ask a spaniel to drop while rough shooting so why not a gsp?
I have a litter of GSP's here if you know any one who is after one?
Cheers

That sounds like you had your work cut out, is that common for this cross? Did you get him from a well known large breeder of this cross from the midlands?
At least the important bits going well!
cheers

Just so happens i have a litter here at the moment.
