GOOD COLLIE X GREY'S THIN ON THE GROUND IT SEEMS.

[japs eye 46]

we all know of hancocks dogs and im not anti hancock they are what they are but it seems GOOD collie x greyhounds are few and far between.

there seems to be plenty what claim to be saluki x collie grey or bull x collie grey but not straight collie crosses...anyone know of any breeders???

[Gilbey 1,405]

don't know if any of them were "good" but there's been a few litters on the selling sites lately

You'd do better to wait 'til someone chooses parents carefully and breeds a litter for their own use. Having said that, the best collie/grey I've ever had was bred by a greyhound breeder when a good bitch came back from being lined and was covered again by the farm collie. The litter had both pure greyhounds and first crosses.

Many good litters will have a touch of some other breed in there and if the parents did what you want then what harm? Good luck with your search anyway, I'm sure something will turn up.

Or he ate beans out of an open tin that'd been put in the fridge, and the microbes scrambled his brain .  Either that, or he aint as kennel blind as people that think only bull x's will cath fox regularly

Here we go I seen collie xes grey do. Fox ,but in early days collie xs fa me were allways strictly edible jukels the softer the mouth etc bonus live retrieve cronies sold little bruising etc the g dealers wanted clean rabbits not smashed up carcasses.its a different time now mist run any sxs type on conies thinking strictly of numbers etc .now twenty good clean skinned conies are bette than forty knocked about ,worthy only of dog meat.ill o out on a sim and go far has ta say plenty collie greys tackled fox yrs back but these were usually far less worthy to. Man looking fa coin of clean rabbits nothing worse than making up one good rabbit from three .then yams get the bone crushing collie types that smash all edible but won't tackle teeth ,I think I must have seen all temps in the herders and those crushing types fa me are the worst ,won't tackle and smash edible now those da me are a frustrating type I must say.  Have culled more than one of those types i find not worthy of the flesh they eat to keep em.

Heres a dog my mate had in the early 90's...from a collie bitch and a greyhound stud...he was a savage on the foxes...but lost interest on rabbits shortly after.he would catch them on the lamp and retrieve them but when you tried to take the rabbit he'd drop it and it would run away unharmed...we ran mostly rabbits so he was pts over it...but the foxes he did take,and they were many,he really went all out on them...and taking punishment was no issue with him
