If this is your first dog, regardless of what cross you pick, go for one that's out going and friendly. This might sound like a cliche but temperament is very important in collie crosses. Don't buy an

If I was going for a out and out bunny dog I'd go with a half x but if you want something that could spin the odd hare then I'd go with a 3/4.

Here is my 1/4-3/4. 29", and 65#     This is him trimmed out, following a training drag. He generally has a heck of a coat and is not bothered too much by our cold weather.   Good luck what

Saw both types mate and had a 3/4 bred, the 1/2 crosses were ideal ferreters and had bags of stamina to work all day, the 3/4 bred I really liked as an all rounder he was a decent rabbit dog but killed bags of hares and deer pre ban aswell his only let down was he lacked a touch of stamina

If this is your first dog, regardless of what cross you pick, go for one that's out going and friendly. This might sound like a cliche but temperament is very important in collie crosses. Don't buy anything older than 9 or 10 weeks at the most from Hancocks either. This is important as these dogs need early socialising and won't all get it in a puppy farm.

If you want your pup to grow up to do any particular job then ask them if any of their lines have been producing pups that do that. They may not work their dogs much but they do get a bit of feedback from customers.

Good luck with it. :thumbs:

Hi just been to hancocks he wont have any 5/8 3/8 untill mid summer the new stud dog casanova isnt living up to his name! you could have 1 from stud dog alex which would be 1 16th more greyhound than a half bred which i have gone for. ive seen good half breds and 3/4 breds. as others have said if you want to catch the odd long ear a 3/4 bred will be better but you pay your money and take you chance :toast: the most important part is whatever you get you put the time in training the more you put in the better the dog will be :boogy:

 

 

The saying of the day ! a bird in the hand craps on the wrist :laugh:
