I'm lead to believe that it was Mr Burrel that bought the first Picardy over. I could be wrong but I was told this by someone who would have no reason to lie.

 

Mark had previously bred a line of Beardie/Greyhounds that originated from Hancock's Beardie Remus. Mark then added the Picardy when suitably related Beardie blood couldn't be found. His old dog Blade was a cracker.

 

These dogs have prey drive to burn and are exceptional hunters. Lovers of the old type of pot filling lurcher would appreciate dogs of this type. Serious dogs for serious hunters.

 

I'm also led to believe that Mark has now crossed one of his Picardy/Greyhounds with a German pointer for hawking purposes.

That sounds about right magpie, when I was in contact with Mark about 4 year ago he was breeding full Picardy's to Picardy/beardie Greyhound lurchers to breed a more hawking,cover dog which wasn't what I was looking for.

Wasn't the Warrener running this kind of cross on a few of his dvds? And by the sounds of them they're very similar to kelpie crosses, good guards, vocal, can be dodgy with other dogs, but a bit more independent than your typical collie X, which can be seen as headstrong/stubborn

Have a young dog here learning ropes that's mostly beardy touch of border grey and he's like the dogs u mention personality wise. Dog try dominate him or push his luck and he turns into hulk. Decent stamina, good feet and quick enough. I use him for lamping only but back end of season will try him few days ferreting.

He was early at marking rabbits, marked foxes to ground and he's put up his own fox but not connected.

Think I will always stick to a beardy type.

Any pictures of these Picardy xs?
