poxon 5,555 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Noticed lately there seems to be a rise in popularity of people asking about bedlington/greyhound x collie/greyhound litters or pups available wonder why people are asking about this cross? What are your thoughts on the cross? Quote Link to post

terryd 8,037 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 scruffy is the future lol. I was out with my black plonker this morning His snout hit the floor and I could see what was coming and tried to put him on a stop but too late. Few seconds later he was a black spec going over the horizon. Full on is not the word. Scruffy and a bit more laid back for me next time 1 Quote Link to post

joe ox 2,547 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 That cross was popular 30 to 40 year ago, cant say I've noticed it becoming more popular over the last few years. Collie, Bull, Grey has started becoming more popular recently. 1 Quote Link to post

Aye same. Mine came back as fast as he went straight at me. What a good lad I though then he flew straight by me heading for some farm building where we had seen a charlie but he was on a lead at the time But I managed to apply the breaks that time 1 Quote Link to post
