Out again
We had loads of collie cross, loved these dogs. My sister still carries on the tradition a bit, but it's greyhounds now, which are nice but nowhere near the work ethic of the collie cross. Only knew 1 Bedlington, couldn't really take to it, too used to the smaller smooth coated bitch.Lurcher alert!
We had Collie cross when we were kids, awesome hound. Fond memories of climbing trees for birds eggs to crack open in the palm on my hand for him and taking him fishing with us, where we would let him go to do his own thing. He would more often than not come back with a live rabbit and drop it at my brothers feet, proper dog .
A brother has a Bedlington terrier cross at the mo.

Have you seen what they are calling lurchers now? I had a couple of painters in and they were boasting about what their dog could and couldn't do. They eventually showed me a picture and I got the shock of my life. Lurcher head alright, but the body like that kangaroo in the other thread. Both their faces went ashen when I told them my brother was a wildlife officer with the police.Brother had a Merle collie cross some years ago, very clever dog. My brother used to take a kill off him and chuck it in undergrowth/ditch and we`d walk on for another 5 or 10 minutes until my brother gave him the command to go get it.
Had some good lamping trips with that dog.
I've been working all day.
