The great game is a book Gilbey which i feel is one of the few that was written without exaggeration.

the flat coat, and golden have very calm sensitive temps,  the curly  a differnt temp , more sharper  and the best guard of the 3 types, there was woman had bitch that went to our local boozer years back , and you wouldn't mess with that dog. she told me  that they were very popular with keepers as a  gun dog and they took them out at night as well, reckon on of them x back to whippet x grey you get good rabbit and  odd few foxes pre ban .

The Lab x collie grey I mentioned I grew up with. She knew more about the game than me at the time.

That does look a very useful type. For the moucher type hunter I can see these types being very good workers

Might have been mentioned as I haven’t read the thread through........there’s a litter of ....merle lurcher x lab on gumtree

[Shortstraw 473]

My mate had a collie x lab......used to bring it out with me occasionally.........it could bend like rubber. Excellent short weatherproof  coat.

Looking at that you’d have thought collie/lab x greyhound. Turned out racey considering its 1/4 sighthound.......very nice.
