Flipper_Al 1,012 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) I`m in the same boat as the OP, i want a pet for the kids and something i can take out on a walk and have a bit of fun with but also a dog that will bark if someone bangs on the door.......am i asking for too much.

birddog 1,354 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 jeez guy's i have fun with my collie x and i'm not a pro hunter, ive kept and raced whippets for years (they worked a bit too ) ive had beddy x's, i'm definately not putting anyones type or favourite down in any shape or form. what i'm getting at is after 40yrs in the game i favour collie x's for the rabbiting game, look at the amount of rabbits (and other game) the minshaw guy's collie x's put in the bag. the pro's guy's who need dogs that can do it day after day night after night use collie x's look around there are lots of examples. collie x's have tougher constitutions, recover well, etc etc. we're all on the same side but have different opinions, likes, ground to hunt etc we can all enjoy our hunting its just as i see it 1 Quote Link to post

As long as you enjoy em mate that's all that matters really, I know where your coming from on the everyday/ night hunter ( which not many are) and I don't think my beddy whippet would be the dog for that.

ATB Kev again just an opinion .....maybe there are more everyday/night hunters than most think as they'll be the type to keep themselves to themselves Quote Link to post
