Blackdog92 2,047 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Like Morton says, your in a perfect place for working Hill collies. Imo you will get a better type when you find a dog that is a fell/hill type rather than a trialing type. Father Son 11 Quote Link to post

johndogs 7 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks for your help with a collie dog I've found a nice blue merle from a hill farm in brecon. I used to have a collie greyhound it was out of a greyhound bitch and a collie greyhound dog it followed the greyhound in shape good dog i think I'll get more stamina out of the half cross collie greyhound and stronger feet u can run a collie dog on all sorts of ground they got real good strong feet my last one seem to have a lot of problems after working the hills and the same with my greyhound am not really bothered with speed just a bit of brains good stamina and good feet it will just be mostly ferreting I'll keep up updated she should be ready one day next week I'll try and get some pics up 2 Quote Link to post

Neal 1,787 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Blackdog92, is that second photo taken just to the east of Coniston? It's been a long time since I lived there but it looks like the bend in the road where you can take a footpath off to Tarn Hows. Stunning looking dog by the way. Quote Link to post
