matt1979 766 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Good read this thread and i have alot of respect those that work these type of collie xs as they seem to do a great job. What i always struggle with, and i have always liked the idea of a 3/4 whippet x collie as the few i have seen look very capable little things, is that all the working collies that my family have owned (and i have seen plenty over the years) have been natural stalkers, as its obviously a trait breed into these workers for getting the best out of them when working with farm stock, but this isnt a good trait in a running dog in my experience. Obviously you need to choose a collie for a lurcher x wisely, but i have yet to see one that doesnt have this particular trait (stalking). I should add, i know full well they have many great attributes such as drive, stamina, coat and durability etc. Does this trait disappear if water down enough? question to those that work them or do you try and work round it, genuine question. Only owned one collie x lurcher and i cant even remember it being a toddler but i know it had this trait, much to my Dads annoyance atb Quote Link to post
Chid 6,376 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I never be without a Collie x. The truth is I can't gel with any other type. My second x Collie/Whippet has done me proud taking rabbits both day & night. Sometime next year or the year after, I would like a litter from her if I can find a first x Collie/Whippet or a none Hancock First x Collie/Greyhound. why wouldnt you use an hancock ?

Rabbiting man 1,190 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I never be without a Collie x. The truth is I can't gel with any other type. My second x Collie/Whippet has done me proud taking rabbits both day & night. Sometime next year or the year after, I would like a litter from her if I can find a first x Collie/Whippet or a none Hancock First x Collie/Greyhound. why wouldnt you use an hancock ? Because I like to own a dog that been bred from generations from working stock not something that's been bred from a puppy hill. I went to his place a few weeks back with a friend, when we got there I didn't think he lived on a scarp yard. Then having to listen to the shit that came from his daughter mouth like they don't care where they get their Greyhounds from. Because to them they view Greyhound as just a vessel a means to carry pups. & other stuff she came out with just put me right off them. 2 Quote Link to post
