forest of dean redneck 11,190 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Where did they all go ? Only ones I've seen online are kc silly money types Years ago I had a stumpy legged lurcher supposedly hancock bred,I bought it as young adult couldn't bond with it,and resold it,it caught on the lamp, And it was a short legged thick coated pricked eared solid built bitch,supposedly beardie/border bred. Basically a broken coated cattle dog lookalike. Anyone run one or seen any thing similar lately ? Quote Link to post
keepdiggin 9,222 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 theres a guy that breeds boerboels & American bulldogs (topguard kennels) think he breeds working aussie cattle dogs as well. Always fancied an ACD but wouldn't have one unless I had a farm. I hear they are more demanding then a border collie. Quote Link to post
fitchet 788 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 As soon as this old bull terrier has enough of life the next companion dog I want is a cattle dog type. I've had a couple of collies and crosses and get on well with there atitude and I'm sure it could be trained for a few different uses if reared correctly. 1 Quote Link to post

fielder1 2 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 My 11 year old A.C.D. x has been a great dog and companion and very easy to have around. Peaceful in the house but keen when out. Being crossed with a small lurcher she lacks leg length and top end speed, but was lightening fast over the first few yards. 1 Quote Link to post
