I once bred a litter from two ten year olds got eight pups and all made the grade and better, but if your an experienced dog man you know when a dogs good enough, I think there are more bad bitches bred from to be fair, age and experience more important in the stock man, than the stock sometimes.

Iv seen a fair few half collie, half whatever over the years an every one a them was a decent dog an fine what owner wanted, guy that comes on our farm now an again to help out has a half collie half lab, an there’s a few decent dogs on our farm but this fcuker is clever on another level
your right there, after him she had a collie cross springer, that was a good dog as well used to catch the od rabbit, but I never worked him, my daughter had a collie, and like all the rest I have seen it was very trainable but very strange, would crouch and watch a chicken scratching about for hours fkn weird.

It's not the breeding it's the man that holds the lead I say no more
on the pure thread you said if there bred right and in the right hands, on this thread breading don't matter its the man, witch is it, with regard to katchem and blackneck I think there spot on if we breed to better the breed we will.

if it not a wind up somebody take him out, and bin the terrier, first time I went lamping I went with a lad I knew at work, but I never knew he had dogs, I had a decent little coursing dog x whippet at the time, kev put the lamp on a squatter and she trotted up the beam and trotted back with the rabbit as though it done it all its life, that bitch was about 5 at the time, but I had plenty of fun and games with others after her lol.
-
what gets me with the vet I bin using he a decent vet with every thing else and getting another to do the tails aint that simple.

if you don't do them right they can grow back, I never had it happen, but vet does my spaniel pups when he does the tails and it happened 3 times, he makes it right but its an opp and a nuisance.
-
if the rabbit was a bit harder to catch, a type that suited every one would start to emerge, like it did with coursing dogs.

I think you are right there Roybo...
I shall always keep my own home-bred, watered down Collie hybrids, they suit me for the ground I hunt over, but most lads coming into the game today seem to want a far more athletic style of running dog...The genuine F1 hybrid twixt a sheepdog and a Greyhound would still suit me, but I feel I am in the minority...
Facts are, if such an easily produced hybrid was required, on masse, by the lurcher fraternity,..there would be no shortage of them...
The situation speaks for itself really...
Wee Maggie, a pup I sent down to North Devon...
im'e no collie cross man but if I was that little dog would do me, what if any disadvantages does she have compared to a conventional collie cross.

There's a place I go were they sit in a lay by right at the top of the valley were they can scan everything even cars driving through the lanes flick a lamp on and there on you straight away or as you park up there kitted out with night vision that's why I walk it it's a bit of a drag but never had a problems doing that way and you just have to wary were you throw your shadow on certain parts but the rewards are there not like they once we're though I think they started keeping the rabbits numbers down to keep lads away
the thermal stuff is amazing you can even see mice running round.

I still youse a lamp for my fox control or odd times I have to shoot a rabbit, but I went with a lad to see how the night vision works and its a game changer he pulled up on the way back switched it to another riffle pulled in another field and shot 10 rabbits in seconds.

It's a classic. . . . that little square old crappy thing is responsible for starting many a mans lamping career. . . . I would love to have a walk with one these days and see if I can still catch a few after lighting up the whole area...lol
during my lamping period I had a real bright home made lamp, one night I bumped into a chap with a real weedy lamp with no glass in it he had plenty of rabbits and recond I was showing em to much field.

I hope you have many years of fun with him Jigsaw
They aren't thick they are fast and if bred right very capable of many things
I think folk read too much instead of trying one and seeing for themselves
I think the problem with that is most dog men have the wrong temperament witch would result in more dogs doing the rounds, jmho.

personally if your bitch is lacking in any aspect of her work I would not breed from it, if you do its likely sentimentality driven, and wont be corrected by the dog, no mater how good he is. i would not use a stud with faults over a great bitch, so why go the other way.
