Hi,..can't locate any first cross images at the moment,...but these Collie infused youngsters are fairly typical of lurchers that are a mix of Whippet, greyhound, and herder.

I always fancied 1 of those, never seen any advertised though

Me either pal to be honest never gave it a thought till he mentioned it he said I'd been out with them but was only a little kid and can't remember them but the pics he showed me they looked real animals rough coated 1 was a dark grey/blue and the other a blue mere with a fair bit of white and the 2 birches were collie marked smart dogs .the collie in them looked to have gave them more a thick set shape

Banjo looks to have nice length to his back ,but there’s something about jake that makes him stand out more to me ,an it’s not the merle colouring as I prefer the typical pied/collie  colouring.

Hi,.yes I liked Jake as a pup,..he was ultra friendly and seemed to have inherited all the tractable qualities from his Border Collie ancestry (this does not necessarily occur when using herding blood):yes:...some are bright, others not so ...

I don't keep males in my yard, so I sent him up to North Wiltshire to an old pal, who just needed a robust type of cur, for a bit of mouching.

I have never been out with the dog, .hopefully, he has provided some fun for his owner...

His sister, Swifty is a handy wee rabbiter though...?

Tell us a bit more about them Shepp. Given that they're more collie than grey what's their speed like?

They were bred by Collie John who had the mother which was the 3/4 reversed. But I don’t think he will mind me telling you that she was a bit of a special dog, very racy, like nothing I have seen before. They didn’t lack speed,  probably faster that most 1st crosses.

Sadly my one died during an operation a few weeks back, she reacted badly to the anaesthetic, never had a sick day in her life and was really fit and healthy. My wife, mum and nephews were in pieces, she was a very good and protective dog, would’t take her eye off my nephews when out with them. Sadly missed.

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

      Hi to all, so I've never owned a whippet before and have encountered an irritating habit that got worse in the last month of ferreting and was wondering if anyone out there has had success minimising noise during ferreting?
      So he runs prey silently, almost never barks at home so I was very happy going into his first winter, but.... when the ferret slot machine is not paying out fast enough for his liking he yips at the holes he senses are near the underground action. On top of that, if he runs a bolted rabbit to ground again he persistently barks at the hole while constantly looking at me as if to say "get them ferrets over here mate, I've got one for you"
      I've a very experienced collie lurcher who is a dream to ferret with but the whippet seems to make no reference to the good stuff he does. Any ideas on managing this?

      Evening all,
      I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
       
      What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
       
      Go stead,
      oshea
