Whippet cross Border collie
« on: August 03, 2007, 10:41:37 PM »
I've been looking for a companion for my rescue Lurcher and went to see some puppies. They are  8 weeks old,  half whippet and half border collie. The dam is a black and white whippet KC registered and the sire is a black and white  border collie. As you can see in the photo that strangely the pup has quite a lot of sandie colouring. Has anyone got a similar cross or know of one, if so generally speaking what are it's characteristics.

I agree, that is one cute pup!

I have two collies so I'm assuming you can expect lots of barmyness and a great deal of stimulation will be needed, I'm also guessing a lot of walkies will be involved!

My rescued Lurcher (Bella) She has quite a lot of greyhound crossed with something else - any suggestions.   I rescued her and she rescued us right back.  She brought my son back from a very dark place and saved my sanity.

Is that how those pups have been reared in a cage with just newspaper?
Love your lurcher such a sweet face

Hi,

I have a border collie x whippet lurcher she's the most stunning thing on 4 legs.  Lots of drive and intellegence with the "do lots and then flake out by fire" whippet attitude !!
