KittleRox 2,147 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Mine is a 50 / 50 line bred collie grey and looks exactally that. I would say she has at least 75% of the intelligence of a collie. She is pretty much like owning a collie. The way I look at it, the greyhound puts some brain into the mix, most greyhounds appear so dim because of upbringing. So whole brain of collIe, 1/2 brain of greyhound equals 3/4 collie brained lurcher. Dilute this with a whippet, which is what I would like in the future and you produce dogs with still a very trainable mentality but with increased raw speed. Quote Link to post
