First Running Dog

[atomo 19]

Currently building a kennel for my first running dog, The cross im thinking of getting is a Collie x Greyhound. Ive been going with the lads around my way who run dogs they've got saluki xs and a few bull xs mainly the reason im thinking of a collie cross is i do allot ferreting.

 

Whats your opinions of the cross for what i want from it and if you think there's a better cross out there for what i want ? let me know you opinions

Beddy whippet! Cracking dogs, good nose and keen as mustard!

If you want a collie cross go for it, good dogs and i think ideal for the ferreting game.

just look what pro pesters use

totally agree, collie x greys are excellent ferreting dogs make gret lampers aswell and will be easy to train for a newbie

One bit of advice I would give if ur only after rabbits and only rabbits why not a whippet x if ur doing a trek too Ireland and have other game in ur eyes then a bigger dog is handy and some times it dosnt matter what x it is

easy to train for a newbie

....yes and no, give them an inch and they take a mile ...

but get one well trained and working on your level there brilliant....

ALRIGHT MATE,

COLLIE X WHIPPET FOR YOUR 1ST DOG .

1ST X COLLIE GREWS CAN BE BASXXXDS.

TERRIFIC DOGS TO WORK BUT LACK 5TH/6TH GEAR.

SOME ARE JUST JAIL BAIT AND WILL KILL ANYTHING OF SIMMILAR SIZE.

E.G.

OTHER DOGS

SHEEP

GOATS ETC.

I THINK ALOT OF DOG FOR A NEWBIE.

A FEW YRS DOWN THE LINE GO FOR IT .

COLLIE X WHIPPETS ARE GREAT WEE DOGS AND A LOT EASIER TO HANDLE.

collie/whippet/ greyhound or collie greyhound.

i think you'll limit yourself in later life if you get a dog thats too small.

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]

Yes..been there.

 

Bought a tiny racing bred whippet/greyhound.

19" very fast,no stamina and thick as a moose.

How is a collie x grey any different than a collie x whippet other than size?

 

And if it is a different dog then I stand by my original thoughts that 99% of the whippets yall are using are pure shit!

 

Just feed the f****r some bread and it will kill lions and tigers and bears.
