How many dogs are Ya working ? You seem to have your hands full
I work and share the mali cross's and collie cross's with a friend. We have five between us.

The dogs have the edge on the bitch for top speed. She has hunted up and been close enough to force a mystake and capitalise on it. The dogs have the pace for definite but aren't as mature (they are yet to start and cock there legs)as her they need to learn to pick there strike as they are a little over keen and rush the job a bit. I'd be interested to see a second generation cross of the bread to compare to them.

how do they compare with the wheaton x you keep? temperament, work style etc?
They are just as keen and dedicated to catching. They are still Young and have been entered relatively carfuly. They have never taken a backward step as of yet. The Wheaton I have is hard act to follow , he is very full on but at the same time he could not catch what they can.

I love this dog its the perfect looking dog in my eyes. I would of give my toes for something of himSeen a few crosses work including 1/4 cross, I have always had first cross and the prey drive was greater in the more ACD percentage, water it down and you lose some of this, the first crosses took all quarry pre ban, just not hare coursers and didnt possess top end speed, good daytime and good lampers sadly over the years the ones round here were mixed with Bull and not my cup of tea, my old dog was last in line.

They don't bark all day long but they will let you know there is a stranger around. The bitch has a stronger guarding instinct than the tow dogs, but with that said she has matured six month faster than the dogs. That is in the body and the mind. If you where to end up in a spot of bother i would think the bitch will have your corner. She has a habit of tucking in close to you and putting her self in between you and anything she's not sure of . As I've said earlier these dogs have it all in front of them but so far i find the to have Good feet and coat, they are well balanced, They have an excellent prey drive but a steady and trainable temperament. In fact unlike most breeds they thrive on the obedience side of things sit, lie, stay, retrieve and jumping they never seem to display the disinterested signs that we all watch out for in our young dogs.Really interesting thread. Another question. What are like in kennel? Noisy or quiet? Do they have any guarding instinct?

Thanks for sharing those fuji i really like the look of them.Great grand dam..
Don and your bitch GVC
Sire to Don at 9 1/2 years old..

These three came from a bitch that was very driven. I was told she failed her police test on the "leave command". However she was not a maniac that would bite anything that moved. The pups have a very high prey drive they run with conviction to say the least. But they thrive on praise and will do anything for it. They are also sensitive to being told off. All stock broke easily to all stock, and broke to ferrets ,they are all good with other dogs. They enjoy retrieving and jump well. They are strong robust animals that can catch the fastest of our quarry. They are young dogs with it all in front of them but at the minute i do not regret trying the cross in the siltiest.How would you describe their temperaments? Are they driven/hyper as you would expect from the Malinois blood?

And the collies
Cheers gvc. Hope they all do well. You're not going to have much spare time in winter for a few years between them and the wheaton crosses.
And the collie's . Luckily I have there ages staggered so there all at different levels. And I share working them with a friend. Work hard in the summer play hard in the winter. Ha ha.

The bitch has done much more than the dog she has taken all quarry. I've only had the dog a short time I got him as I think a lot of the bitch. He came from a gentleman who had suffered I'll health.Look nice what are they like to work and keep have you done much with them
The bitch is 24/25 inches the dog is 27 inches. I also have another brother that is 29 inches. But he is to big for me to be honest. They are 18 month just.
The dogs are taking a lot longer to mature.
There mother was a working bitch very powerful the greyhound was a 28inch strong dog.

One in that litter very similar to their grand sire GVC as a pup. ..
That pup is a real little trouble maker. He is very rough even at this young age. I tried letting them feed with my big hob ferret from a young age and it ended badly.

smart bitch u got there gvc.what was in the mother?
I'm hoping fuji would be able to shed some light on that, as the breading i have for her is mainly names rather than breeds.I believe she is a lurcher line heavily saturated with collie blood on both sides. I have just bread a litter of pups from her to an excellent 1/2 cross dog.
Here you go buddy..names are about as good as it comes haha... Some names you will see quite a few times on both sides of the parents to your bitch..The one which says Polly is exactly the same way bred as dam to yours just Polly was her litter sister lol...
Thanks for that. If your dog is still around and IF this bitch pup makes the grade, i'd like to put some of that blood back in to the line. good collie blood is hard to find these days. There are a lot of if's in there.

just seen this gvc, lovely types
Thanks i need a pup out of my old man as he's 10yrs young early next year. The bitch has the speed and balance the old guy lacks so I'm hoping to come out with a bit of his size and her speed to make a better all rounder. Fingers crossed.
