I know 

Curs were pastoral types. Cur is simply an abbreviation of curtailed i.e. tail was shortened so that (in the opinion of the gentry) they could herd livestock but not catch anything which "belonged" to

Why do people refer to collies as curs? This word is from hunt kennels and hunting with hounds. Any dog breed that was not a hound breed was known as a cur. This is what I’ve been told since I’ve been a nipper from good hunting men and spending an awful lot of time around hunt kennels. I think the word is misunderstood. 

Sounds good its as bad as jukels

No offence to 3/4 collie 1/4 greyhounds, as I personally like them too, but I think the original poster meant 3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie...as he mentioned them being all-rounders. As I said, I like them, but I wouldn't necessarily call them all-rounders for most people.

Sorry if I confused anyone I meant 3/4 greyhound 1/4 collie
