Some pic's from the David James line / family/ type call it whatever you will Just Border Collie X Greyhound

Whin, to add to the thred you don't have to post any pics. It was/is just a thred about old lines/strains/familys of dogs and they don't have to of come off anyone 'famous' either, just honest write up's about honest dogs.

Anyone no if c williams strain of whippet greys are still about, heard they were usefull.

 

Also the merlin an eve stuff has gota be up there as an old famous tried an tested line which must go back quite abit now, good thread.

[blacktabs 3]

Too right dodger M and E go back a few generations before there conception but a proper tried and tested lineage.

 

Breeze them pics are stunning mate love the collie types and they look freezer fillers for sure

[Bosun11 537]

Blacktabs, you mentioned that old stuff you still keep a line too, Bodger's stuff, you said, would that be Bodger Quimby as that sounds like a name I remember from the past, though I might be wrong or confused?

 

Either way, it would be interesting to know more about 'em if poss.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Plummer's old stuff came down from J.Arigho's original stuff, all gypsy bred, would that be off Bodger?

[Bosun11 537]

Would anyone on her know of an old line of dogs that come from the Welsh/Shropshire borders. That are reputed to be tidy allrounders.

A bloke called Shropshirebull off here put a bitch up for sale about 18months back, saying it was one of these, nice old type and i've heared off others that they do exist, any more info to these dogs would be interesting, who keeps 'em going and why?
