gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Do you reccomend the cross TOMO? cracking looking animal BTW No. why??? pro's and con's please Im being a little sarcastic to be honest,, but rember one thing my experience with the cross is based solely on that one dog,,so in all honesty it's not a good over all view of the cross. There's men here who can give better in depth knowlage. Mine had some bad points,,, it was a c**t for fighting, not with my other dogs,,, but with terriers a small type things,, which had me paying out vet fees from time to time,,, I also don't realy think unless your good with collie types there for you ,, or first time lurcher owners.. Mine had countless energy, and seemed to be like a coiled spring on speed..lol However I have killed a fecking ton of rabbits with it, and also raced a few daytime that she has retrieved, but lamping a ferreting were her fortay,,, she weren't bad with the nose either,,, I got a good few vids of her hunting up and catching rabbits from cover. She would also retrieve at night whilst roost shooting. All in all a great versatile, agile typ of animal... Just not for the everyone Cheers for that TOMO, from what I have read here, is what I have heard about a few other dog's of this cross, but just out of curiosity, what do you mean by being 'good with collie types'? never owned a herding x before, might sound a stupid question, but I am relatively clueless on these kind of dogs, just fancied a change from the norm Quote Link to post
TOMO 29,747 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Some lads can be a bit harsh with dogs, I'm sure you have seen them at shows,,I just think you have to try to get on there wavelength, Of course we all have to start somewhere , so give it a go if you realy want one,, it's your choice 1 Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,927 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Here's a short clip from last season,,, just befor she takes the rabbit out the seat,,, she is round a different clump of sedge,, in fact I thought there's going to be one in there,,, but she turns round lifts her paw and looks to have an air scent,, then moves a few yards and pegs one to her left Excellent clip Tomo Quote Link to post

I had a feeling they were guardians, such as keeping jackals and such like away from the nomad's goats, but herders? thats the first I have heard of that, could you go a little into more detail on this please?
