Jess 25 Months .

[My Mooching Pal Jess]

This is Jess my 24 month old bitch , she is a 24 inches tall 5/8 Greyhound 3/8 Collie, who bred her does not matter to either her or me, but what she is does.

While she is no record breaker , and when compared to some of the feats of other gifted & talented dogs and their owners on this site . She is eager to please ,is intelligent & biddable ,has a good turn of speed, good feet , steady around livestock & never once opened up , and has taken both fur & feather, while mooching around in daylight.

I am in my mid 50’s as such one of the older crowd, cold dark nights on the lamp are a thing of the past. Walking in the country with a dog which can slip off the path or lane in to a field , and take a rabbit for the pot without any fuss or drama , is for me anyway what I was looking for eg “an old style Lurcherâ€.

This little bitch is ideal type for a “one dog owner†who has the time to spend on bringing on a dog , Collie crosses may not be for everyone as in the two bitches I have had , are at the start slower in coming on and need a gentle hand , when compared with other crosses , but have the potential to be trained to a high level.

For me I was looking for a dog that would perform , not just in the field but be good / socialised with other dogs and people & places , as such be equally at home in the field taking the odd rabbit or , lying under the table in the Pub waiting for its owner to take her home, as such is a pleasure to own.

I have had dogs most of my life (mostly terries) Jess is my second Collie cross lurcher , who like the first was a pleasure to be around, so if anyone is limited to one dog , who has to fit in with the family and field , this is a cross that maybe one you should consider.[/font]

[Black Fox]

Just come back from a walk / mooch where my 8 month old Collie x Greyhound put up what appeared to be a mature Black fox??? which was away under some security fencing after a 25 yd scurry. Should I be going to the doctor and requesting a change in medication or do they exist.

 

Thanks for the response guy's I will now cancel the appointment with the doctor....

 

Cheers

[hancocks dogs i am confused]

For me this string has been very helpful as I am looking for a collie /grayhound lurcher pup and visited Hancocks just last week to talk about putting my name down for a pup.

I understand that there is no guarentee of what its going to turn out like , but for me I would like to go down the route of similar type to Hancocks dogs but with a pup from perents that are actualy working . So if anyone has collie x pups for sale June time drop me a line.

Thanks for helping me make up my mind.....
