Cattle Dog Crosses. Or Kelpie

[3175darren 1,093]

I thought it was being a little stronger made.... I will tell the missus that I was right

 

Any more info on him mate .. Half cross ? Size ?

he's 22 inch tts and around 22 kg , I bought him as a cattle dog lurcher x to a racing whippet, the exact mix I cannot be 100 % sure, the previous owner led me to believe the cattle dog lurcher was first cross, I got him at around 14 wk old, he was running wild in a there house, he's never been a minutes trouble with me, but with me he's out daily, I will admit the last lurcher I had owned was 1985, and apart from swimming which he will do, he out hunts most dogs I have owned, but it gives me a dilemma, as in what to breed him with,

Darren... Just goes to show you get out what you put in mate

 

Bradus... Always thought that a 3/4 bred would make a handy animal ?

I'm hoping to get Noggin out a lot more this winter too. He seems to have overcome his multiple injuries in January but I'm worried it may have affected his stamina so I'm seeing how he gets on during this summer.

 

Edited to add: that's one big benefit of kelpies and heelers...you can take them out in the middle of the day in summer.

they sound spot on for as watch dog round your place, and if you x one to whippet be great for mooching /rabbits/rats deff good lurcher. ive thought about this x for good few years, if the right pup came along 1x acd x whippet deff give it a go

What way breed were speckle an the other cattle dog xs you had Phil. A friend up Cumbria had a good bitch she was cattle dog x wippet greyhound over a cattle dog lurcher.very good rabbit bitch and would run all night regularly taking 30 and 40 plus a night she was 23inch. But he never lined her an there's no-one up here with that cross or breeding any more.thats why a asked on here. Are the hrf crosses not to head strong. Cheers.

Hi Chunk,...been a lot of chat regarding these specialised herding dogs...

 

Maybe enter Cattle Dogs, into the Search Box and take a look at all the member's comments...

 

All the best, Phil.
