  1. And some pet homes turn out to be just as dreadful. There are idiots in all walks of life, and that's one of the reasons I hesitate to breed again. People lie all the time when they go to see pups. You'd have to have a lie detector test and strap them into a chair and interrogate them harshly if you want to be 100% sure that the pup will go to a good home, working or not. I used to think I was a good judge of character, but a couple of mistakes cost the welfare of pups. I don't like to think that I was responsible for dogs having a crap life. A very long time ago I worked in a dog rescue, an
  2. Yeah,looks alright that, could be fun to watch Atb
  3. Shared, hope you find her. Atb
  4. The merle is from the leopard hound. It's the American Leoaprd Hound and not the Catahoula though. The difference between the two is like the difference between the Blue Tick Hound and a Blue Heeler with the Leopard being a tree dog like the Bluetick. She has a thicker undercoat from the Border Collie and the brains came through in spades. It was wild hunting with her. Her best talent was locating and catching. If another dog got the cat started and was running it you could just walk her into the area and she would stand there for a minute just listening and then she would take off like
  5. Na Merle from the leopard cur .Here bit of info on the breed chicken man https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catahoula_Cur Cheers for that, I'll have a good read. Atb
  6. Bloody relief I bet :-) Glad you got her back ? All good :-)
  7. Looks a powerful animal Dan. The merle from the collie influence? I hope you come across the dog your looking for this summer and the 2 you have turn out good. It is a difficult thing to explain what your talking about, that old dog of mine had a presence about him and he never bothered with folk, unless he wanted too and even then would turn his back on them. You just know a good dog. Atb
  8. I have my eye on a 8 month old bitch, known it since a pup. Farm bred, pricked eared,good shape and nice size. Lads not doing so good with it,he doesn't know what he's got or how to handle it. I've said if he doesn't do anything with it, it'll end up going insane and just be called another mad collie. Can't get through to the lad. I know another lad it would suit also. Pity to see it not reaching its full potential. Atb
  9. Dan,any chance of pics, the American leopard hound and stag hound please? Really interesting what you do. Atb
  10. Father to the one I bred is on the left, the tri colour unrelated. Pic taken a good 15 yrs ago.
  11. I wouldn't hop your gate with that thing coming down the track at me looks a serious mutt Aye, he's pretty focused :-)
  12. He looks quiet a heavy built sort of a lad chicken man. Where did you get him from? A fell farmer i know well has a very nice line of fell curs they arent far looks wise from what a collie x looks like they are incredibly leggy dogs there not much shorter than my lurcher whose 25tts. For all i know there could be some sort of outcross way back but he would never let on if there was. Bred him myself mate. Had both parents, which both worked. His father would put a bull up a tree ? Sadly missed are both. The mother was a lovely mover, very flowing if you know what I mean, good on sheep, Fat
