first hunting dog i had was a 3/4 Collie, had a nose better than a foxhound if there was anything around she would find it and thats about the only good thing i could think of to say about her. If you slipped her on a rabbit that would be the last you would see of her until there was nothing to run you could hear when she found something fields away as she also bayed like a foxhound, we would just leave her as she would catch up after a mile or two head down following are trail on a run she was way to slow for rabbits, think she must of only ever ha 2-3 rabbits on the run.

David ive got a collie a big old boy the kids rescued it a few years ago to make it easier to exercise him we just let him go with the dogs.He started bushing and marking earths as you can see in the last photo he comes into his own when your hunting a wood he covers some ground.The photos not very good but you can make them out ATB taker.

when the ban came in,the cmw had a feature and the author wondered if hancock would be snowed under with people wanting a lurcher that wasnt so easily recognised abit like medevial times, and there was a pic of a 3/4 collie 1/4 grey it was tri colour broken coated and looked like a thin leggy welsh collie.

David, i work a reverse threequarter fell collie a quarter greyhound bitch, she stands about 20.5 inches tall, very racey for her breeding, pretty quick as well, she is now eight years old, but she is still going strong, caught me loads of game over the years, she is by far the best dog i,ve ever owned, i love this cross, but you have to use the right type of collie to produce a nice racey type . regards collie john.

We work a couple of 3/4 1/4 breds (Greyhound/Border Collie) extremely fast and very game on all quarry. Bred the bitch with a half cross and kept back 2 pup's who have thrown slightly heavier, this has produced better bone & coat. Also ran pure collies which could fill the pot no problem.

i run a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie from hancock fantastic rabbiting dog on the lamp and ferreting!! hes a big boy at 26" but that doesent stop him by far the best dog ive had so far and his intelligence has helped me out big time when it came to training hes a fast learner and was running like and old pro soon after his first few outings!! im glad i took the gamble of running what i knew and was used to running sulukie x greyhound and switching to a collie x!!
