3/4Grey1/4Collie On Foxes Pre Ban

[whippet 99 2,613]

 

I've had quite a few 3/4 crosses of this type and the good ones grab them without effort but some learn to run clever,I got rid of a good rabbit/hare bitch because on her own she'd visibly slow up allowing her fox to get into cover and away,then come back tail wagging as if she'd done well.p*ssed me off as she'd done them from a pup without any trouble,doubled up she was like a lion,a lot of collie crosses learn to run clever by the time they're 4 or 5 yrs old,just picking their runs on rabbit and hare as well,this is all pre-ban of course,WM

 

 

Have seen plenty of greyxcollie take fox either from bolting from an earth or pushed from cover in daylight but on the lamp its a different story.Once they start getting the sharp end they soon lay back and just course the fox until it runs out of the beam,but doubled up they will account for plenty and will hunt up.They are also a usefull hound to mark an earth.

 

Yep doubled up or on a dig with a lil bitty ass terrier there are loads and loads of dogs that will kill anything but once by themselves its a whole different ball game. I have even seen dogs that would be billy bad ass on a critter even if they just had another shit eater in the back of the truck with them even if that dog would never dream of gettin into it the other dog would still be rough as can be but put em in the back by themselves and let em think bout life for awhile and they all of a sudden aint so rough no more. Weird stuff.

 

I can relate to that so much how situations and enviroments change the way a dog works............it is strange how they change..but you notice from the evidence,........
