In my opinion your going backwards adding Saluki blood why add more sighthound blood that's just stupid and your diluting the good traits out of the dogs too many lads have gone that way and yes genuine collie greyhounds are thin on the ground especially the ones with plenty of collie blood in them ie reverse threequarter 5/8,s collie 3/8,s greyhound of first crosses, I'm not a fan of 3/4 breds they're to greyhoundy for me to fast poor coats poor feet no bone just don't like them they aren't what I'd term a mooching dog, that's why I breed my own I know how they're bred and I know they will suit me.Regards Collie John.

what about using saluki instead of grey, great feet, better stamina, hardy durable, quarry sense etc etc

So are these 3/4 collie quick enough round the nets I've seen ian Clayton dog Dan on video  but he is getting on a bit  and what if a rabbit bolts out of a hole that isn't netted are they quick enough to catch it

[colliejohn 840]

Obviously nothing shouldn't get away if everything is netted up correctly but that's not my type of sport unless your on paid jobs lol I don't ferret golf courses or horse paddocks so I don't need a whippet type dog my dogs work heavy cover bracken brambles etc and I lamp them on all types of terrain they're a mooching / lamping type of collie cur.Regards Collie John

would it be accurate to say colliejohn that certain types of ground would not be suitable for your dogs then....would you be limited to the type of ground your dogs could work on,,ie open ground and short grassy fields would not be the type of ground you prefer....

[troyboy17 631]

Collie John that is the sort of ground I hunt gorse bushes and brambles

[colliejohn 840]

I work my dogs on moorland arable pasture scrubland they're a versatile type of dog with good coats and fantastic feet.Regards Collie John

one of the litters on the selling sites lately was a farm collie x collie/grey from Typps line.

 

Hancock doesn't seem to have bred 1/4 beardies for years and looking on his site there isn't a stud for 3/8 collies of any type, likely not a market for them

[colliejohn 840]

The one's with my old mate Typps bloodlines back to a red and white hill dog sound like a canny litter, all Hancock seems turning out are 3/4 breds there not for me.Regards Collie John.
