staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Great thread guys my uncle used to have 2 half x collies brother n sister extremely intelligent didn't really look like lurchers but had enough speed to catch and could run until you were mackerel and needed go home but I think people don't put enough praise on the greyhound side as that's where the will to chase at all costs comes from so maybe the dogs that pick and choose runs the grey side didn't have enough want left over from the pairing? Just a thought 1 Quote Link to post

I have said to him a few times he should put a grew to his bitch, no luck yet. She has pups at the minute to the good dog and 4 of them are light grey / silver and white, stunning. 2 Quote Link to post

Bad timing for pups as far as the shepherds are concerned...very few look to have summer pups...busiest time of the year and a bitch rearing pups ain't much good doing and is basically viewed as doing nowt...when I as 'herding most fellas had pups born in the back end...bitches weren't missed as much then... 1 Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I was not in the same league as Border Scott, I ran 25 Pedigree Texels, back to the subject, over the years I have seen a few Collie X Greyhounds all bred from working Hill Collies, theres plenty where I come from, and all bred from trackers from the local flapping track. The ones I seen all took to the rabbiting game, like a duck to water. none were bred from coursing Greyhounds, and no trial Collies, just workers who would work the hill. Quote Link to post
