Post by: uglydog on May 09, 2011, 11:08:46 pm Read an article oninternet past week about that cross and a college doing the study as cattle dogs and was decided the the 3/4 cross was a much better cattle dog with more instinct to rive and herd cattle and more athletic speed. Don't think I wold want that on hogs in my area the way we hunt though
Title: Re: Pit/border collie? Post by: Trey on May 10, 2011, 02:38:56 pm There is a breed called a Cattlemaster that is pit,border collie and kelpie crossed. Len Dalton also uses some cross dogs in his program. Most I have heard of are at least 3/4 bordercollie if not more if they are actually still woking and havent been stomped to death by a cow. I would like to read the article Uglydog if you have a link ?
