terryd 8,027 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Also high drive sounds good on paper but it can be nice to coax a dog in the right direction you want rather than one that wants to nuke every thing from moment it can walk. 1 1 Quote Link to post

If you have plenty of game around you then I’d probably go lurcher to lurcher around the size you want.....bit of collie bit of bedlington. However from personal experience if there isn’t a great deal of game around you where you mooch I have found that the drive to hunt can vary even within the breed type. For example I’ve had pure collies that work equally as good, but put them in an area where there’s not much game and one will pick up a stick and play, where the other would look for a scent regardless. I’ve found this very common in collie types if there’s isnt much scent about...so I personally would find it a bit of a gamble going down just the collie route unless you know the dam and sire. I went down the gundog lurcher route, spaniel x lurcher, so mines less than 50% sighthound. She’s very tractable and her drive to hunt for game is high, never causes me any headaches. She’ll without doubt put a lot of faster more purposeful lurchers to shame in the mooching stakes, not all, but a lot. I know a lot of people get hooked up on speed, yes it’s important, but given she’s the slowest lurcher I’ve worked she’s also one that catches the most. I’ve found her to be more interesting to watch working, it’s like she almost has another string to her bow in that’s she’s developed her own style of hunting which is a pleasure to watch and she has a knack of trying to gain the advantage. I’ve never worked anything like her. I might have just dropped lucky. She never raises anybody’s eyebrows either. She does yip occasionally, which doesn’t bother me, but may put others off. 3 Quote Link to post

gaza 504 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Beddy whippet grey both sides pal. Well the bitch had a bit of collie in her. Roughly... dam: collie greyhound x beddy whippet sire: beddy whippet x greyhound. So he’s about 1/8 collie 1/4 beddy rest whippet/grey. 2 Quote Link to post

This mix of beddy/whippet/collie and grey look to be getting quite popular again. Good proven mix of lurcher 1 Quote Link to post
