Collie lurcher...moan

[wuyang 513]

I Just wondering how much collie you like in your lurcher?

 

I mainly mouch about after rabbits and use a border/grey half cross, but i must say my current bitch who is now nearly nine has not had the drive to hunt that my old pure border collie bitch had. I have found her to also be a bit inconsistant, one minute amazing me and the next been just as happy to carry a stick as hunt. I was a bit let down to be honest, but i do stick with my dogs as they are also family pets. If she'd had the hunting instinct of my pure collie i would have been laughing. I think next time i will opt for less collie(for more acceleration) in the make up but more importantly find somebody who breeds for the right reasons. I know alot of people say its in how you bring them up, but i have found the hard way and it definately helps if there also bred from proven dogs.

Just a quarter in one of the breeding [bANNED TEXT] a lurcher is bred to another lurcher saying that i have seen some very good lurchers bred out of collie/grey bitches put back to other crosses and the best collie crosses i have seen were the result of a f1x put back over a 3 quarter grey/collie.

collie x greyhound x collie x greyhound x greyhound, = 3/8ths 5/8ths which is somewhere in between a half cross and a three quarter,(theoretically) would be my ideal x if i was getting one, )

1/4 is plenty, ive got a col whip first x wish i had got 3/4 whip col, just for that extra pace. shes real itelligent sometimes too much and has me trying stop her stalking and just go for it which is frustrating, shes good for ferreting being patient and pinning bunnies in nets, good coat, loads stamina, good feet and nose but not done that much on lamp with her as started choosing her runs in 1st season think that was my fault gave her some hard slips. she dont like strangers which sometimes i like when about the house/garden will bark her head off. but when out is bit timid with strangers.

3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie better all round dogs.generally easy to train dogs.

I like a out cross on collie x just to put a bit of fire back in there belly,even on rabbits i like them to try a bit more,whippetx's tend to be ideal to put to colliegreyhounds for rabbits,thats what ive found tend to hunt better too on rabbits.

Thats the reason i like them with a bit of beddy in the mix as well.

spot on Dell, lurcher to lurcher if you want to take all quarry . But i will say this, regards rabbits day+night i dont think you will beat a 1x colliegrey . Bryn my 1x colliegrey, is fast+agile and as got me loads of rabbits , he is 4 in sep and still as keen now as he was when he was 12months old. As i say if you wanted more than rabbits, you would do better a 1x collie grey x saluki grey or maybe 1xcollie grey x bull grey, a bit more scope to work with. But i have had some geat nights with Bryn a very good pot filler

saw good colie crosses but he more running dog better for allround qaurry ,had some real fast halfcrooss type but bred of track champion type greyhpounds and very good whippet greyhounds , had hanckcok type ione not pacy enough one no wind for big land, you realy need to bred of the [bANNED TEXT] type with balls been lucky to have that type who fight anything and die trying but saw the other collie type only try as hard as they have to and never realy become very good dogs,all to with breeing of hard type of colies and very fast type of greyhounds etc

[staffs riffraff 1,068]

i really like what iv seen of the cross and some of the collies iv seen have been some right speed machine and get one that has a bit of fire in its belly as well you got the ingrediants for a very good dog as most will be very clever and have a good coat and add stamina so what more could you want. that is from the right dogs
