im thinking of getting this cross in the near future, i think it should handle ferreting 'OK' but obviously it is not goin to be the best suited cross for it.. (as for ther size, but im am not knocking this breed ) but they are a good allround cross. rabbits, big rabbits , also fox (pre ban)

and iff you are looking for a good allround cross mate, why not have a look at such a cross as.. beddy whipet x collie grey? or beddy x whippet grey ( handy cross, a mate of mine owns one) or deerhound grey x collie grey ? there are a good couple of crossed that make good allrounders.. ( 3/4 bred bullx really good also ) but i can go on and on all day.. its down to what you prefer at the end of the day mate

I'd definately have another one once mine has gone......

 

 

 

 

Obviously he's only doing rabbits now, but during the good times he had good success rates on all quarry, he stands 27ins ats!!!

very nice type mate

Couldn't tell you mate, got him at 10 weeks old from the cat and dog shelter, all i know is the dam was a racing greyhound, and most people guess at deerhound with maybe some collie in there, he's a flying machine, but has thin skin, which he pays for through the season, but he's spot on for what we do!!!

i like that brindle dog alot. whats his/her breeding pal

[LDR 29]

He was deer/grey/bull/grey X deer/grey/sal/grey, he stood 28 and abit ins, just under 80lb!! He was late to mature but came good a week after his 3rd birthday and started to graft, but had to be put to sleep in march this year after having a fit whilst out lamping!!! its a shame cos he was showing real promise on certain quarry!!!

best for larger quarry but if used often enough will do the bizz on rabbits
