artic 595 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Just dug some pictures out today and found this one. This was my Collie x Grey bitch, and the only bitch of any type I have owned and worked. Up to the age of 7 she was taking foxes, heavy population here and she took many a season, then she sustained an injury which caused me to stop her working. Quote Link to post

artic 595 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 That bitch was produced as simple as this: A good friend of mine is a sheppard and had a very good working collie dog, watching this collie work was poetry. The bitch again from a friend who races greyhounds had a nice bitch clocking up some good times, nothing out of this world, but good enough, so with a joint agreement we eventually managed to get the two to tie....and I mean eventually! She turned out a little cracker of a worker. Quote Link to post
