Well his grand dam on his sires side was a Hancock , and on his dams side there’s collie way back that’s supposedly Hancock according to some .. but there’s very little collie in him tbh Quote Link to post

Hands of Stone 154 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Years a ago I had a welsh collie x greyhound. she was a good bitch and took a lot of game with her. welsh collies are generally more independent than border collies and get on with the job instead of looking for instruction. I don't know whether this trait makes a difference when breeding lurchers? 5 Quote Link to post

Think it was from jonathan davies' farm. He had a superb rangy black and tan dog there about 24" tts. From the little I do know of them, I'd say yes, they are more independant than borders, and generally a bit taller and rangier 1 Quote Link to post
Shortstraw 473 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) My beardie/border mix was around 7/16 greyhound. Most laid back dog at home I've ever come across. If my sister came to my house to visit with her kids he'd bugger off out of house into his kennel for some peace and quiet. Out in the field he was a natural out and out hunt and find dog......I always refer to him as nose down eyes up.....by christ he was a joy to watch. I've never owned a dog like him before where you would literally have to look away if he was close to a rabbit as they headed towards the hedgerow....yet he rarely if ever got injured.....he got tangled in a roll of barbed wire once and he came off very well considering...he really did have tough skin. I never bothered with foxes, but he was mad for them. Squirrels he used to treat as a tasty snack. He had a lot higher drive to hunt than my border collie greyhound lurcher. Saying that my old bushing ( and lamping) border collie bitch had an equally high hunting drive. A very much missed dog who I didn't realise how good he was until many years later. Always gave his best. Greatly missed. A cracking mooching dog....I reckon he was about 27 to shoulder. It's easy to get carried away with what's size is best, never thought much about size at the time. Edited July 21, 2018 by Shortstraw 3 Quote Link to post
