border lad 1,047 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 in days gone by serious, the collie dog was only was kept, for his/her working ability, IE, FARMWORK, AND THE MINERS, who loved a good whippet, probably, with a touch of greyhound running through the blood, and again,, they only mated the best to the best, to produce a good pup, and a pup in those days of that mix, would cost probably, 10shillings,= 50P, or a £1 at the most, there was 2 or 3 men that had that x were I come from and they swore by them, and 1 fellow had his trained to fetch eggs out of a Hen house, yes Lads when poachers made a living, from the Land, and the water, even in the 70s a very well bred pup cost £5 at the most. when you see a proper hill collie work and you will be amazed how fast that fellow can run, and then you put a racing whippet over that hill collie bitch, they make ideal rabbit dogs, mainly used with the ferret, and fantastic for lifting the pheasant as well, Quote Link to post
lee-boy 0 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 So would you say this collie whippet is too heavy for rabbits? This dog is the double of mine and I live not too far away from you. Am I right in thinking it is around 8 months old? Quote Link to post

lamping-lad 160 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 The collie adds brains, agility, stamina and the wippet adds speed and strike. imo Quote Link to post
