That example is about the nearest to a genuine Collie x Whippet that has been posted.

Real typical example there Troyboy...

As an aside,...I've never been overly keen on the genuine first cross twixt  Whippet/Collie to produce a lurcher.

For hedgerow work, I've always favored a mix that contains the Collie, Whippet, and Greyhound, as opposed to a straight FX.

When I've bred these types closely, they usually seemed to level out fairly evenly...

Obviously, to achieve a starting point the FX is necessary,..but personally, I like to quickly move on and hopefully improve on that initial hybridization. at the earliest opportunity.  No set rules for lurchers...and I suppose, it all depends on what a man wants,...I guess we are all different...

lurchers...are both parents merles? Was it an accidental mated or planned?  Just wondering if there were any deaf or blind pups in the litter...

Lovely looking pup by the way mate

Yes it was a accidental mating but none of the pups had anything wrong with them

Phil  the sire of that dog is spirit  lad the chap lives in stoke

Nice sort of thing Troyboy...and a perfect visual example of the type,...but as I say,... I prefer a lot more Sheepdog influence in my rabbiting curs.

 Possibly not to everyone's taste,.I just like them to have that quicksilver basic obedience and amazing collie sagacity...

I don't really need, out and out speed,..in fact, I find it a wee bit dangerous, when hunting in woodland, embankments, factory wastelands, etc..

Just enough, will suffice, eh...

So how much has yours got in phil

[Phil Lloyd 10,736]

Don't really know the exact mathematical percentages,..probably not even as much as yours...

I have found,..over the years, that Mother Nature doesn't really abide by the rules of percentages, but seems to do her own thing.

What I look for,  when I breed a litter comprised of  Whippet, Sheepdog, Greyhound genes, is an individual whelp that exhibits the qualities I desire. 

Sometimes I win, other times I lose,..but I am getting much better at observing such things...

I'll get it right someday...

 

[troyboy17 631]

Which would u go from phil collie or kelpie  in your mix

[Phil Lloyd 10,736]

I like both breeds,..in fact, considering how few rabbits I actually catch with my wee, hedge busters, a purebred Herder would probably suit my needs.
