First crosses can be a bit slow, that is why I'm putting one to my pure grey bitch to get 3/4 grey 1/4 acd pups as for comparing them to collie crosses they have the collie brain but more of a attitude like a bull terrier. They would die to protect their owners

thanks for the comments, how do they compare to the kelpies cross? cheers

Kelpies are a lighter build mate, so will throw lighter pups, not sure on the kelpies temperament so I'll let some one with experience of them comment

There is a spare bedroom here mate so don't think you need to come up for the lamping session then have to head home

 

That is a nice bitch 2.8 , I know my pals who had them will offer me advice when needed but I might pick your brains as well
