ive got nothing against collie crosses , nothing against any lurcher cross , ( withing reason ) , as they all have their uses , all this slagging off breeds ect , each to their own , collie crosses are good all rounders , capable of doing all type of work fom lamping to genreal mooching , but they wernt ( pre ban ) as its not illegal to run a hare with a dog , out and out hare dogs , were they? or am i missing something ? because im sure all the dogs ive seen run and who are well known are , erm saluki crosses , NOT collie crosses . now im a great beleiver of every man each to their own
