Ok I’m glad your not pissed off with me then, but I dare you to write one post without cheers at the end

Cheers. 

That would go against my deepest emotions and probably trigger a panic attack brought on by my obsessive compulsive disorder.

You wouldn’t wish that on a vulnerable old man, would you ? 
 

Cheers.

Not many defenders of the collie crosses on here now, so I'll put my two penneth worth in, based on what i've seen...

I honestly  think they are the ultimate 'Marmite' dog in the lurcher world...

Perhaps the worst lurchers I've seen slipped have been pastoral types. Those that look at their chosen quarry with almost indifference, picking and choosing their runs. Or those that stalk every time the slip is released, usually making a hash of the catch. Some are just neurotic kennel nightmares, crying, whining feckers that make shitty Salukies look sedate.

Oh and don’t forget the 'fantics',  those that can't mooch at any other pace than flat out, and are either physically destroyed by the time they put something up, or have turned 'white eyed' by that effort, and can't focus on their quarries moves.

 

All that said, and 'most' of the best all rounders I've ever seen have had loads of pastoral blood. Dogs that can lamp all night on ANY quarry, ferret all day over the worst terrain this country has to offer. Dogs that can hunt-up and kill the best daytime hare. Dogs that will hit a Fallow Buck, head on, in October and best it... Dogs that will run foxes for numbers all night, always at the sharp end, dogs that develop an almost pathological hatred of foxes, and continue to 'kill' them long after they're dead. Some of these were commercially bred..!!

The right drop of pastoral blood can go a long way...

And this type can produce so many variables.

But what is so obvious to me is who owns that type, and who can get the most from them. THEY are few and far between...

Looking back, the truth is, i've never been one of them, I know I've never been good enough. I've owned decent enough dogs with a percentage of pastoral blood, but those full bloods, I couldn't handle...

The best i've owned was bred by Joe Ox, and he was some animal. Thank you Joe...

Excellent post that, mate.

Once this pup of age I’ll get on his case for a walk out, always a pleasure to watch his dogs run, can remember his eddy dog, fcuk that was electric fast haha I loved watching him on a decent run 

That's a bit of a coincidence.

My eldest lad bought a dog from Hancock, named him eddy.

Ended up 27"tts and was fast as f**k.

Caught everything, rabbit, hare, fox, badger, roe and fallow.

A couple of fellas off this site seen him doing it.

Charts, I can't believe you doubt what I've written, was it because I said he'd taken badger?!

If so, I can assure you he'd crunch them around the head, really.

It was decent enough, she stopped enough hares, and bigger stuff. Nailed plenty of rats, and even came along on the odd shoot day,  flushing with the gundogs (quite proud of that one too!)

Think I've said on here a couple of years back, I just have a pop at most stuff now, more like I did 40 years ago, but slower, and with more brain and tact...

Thanks for asking mate...

Good good

I know you don’t like it known, but I really appreciate your work with “Help The Aged” and “ Care In The Community “.

It completely negates your little idiosyncrasies

We include you in our prayers

Cheers.
