He’s a lovely little mongrel, about ten weeks old. I've got a good idea as to his parentage; anyone fancy a guess?

Yep, at least half collie, on the maternal side. Staffie, not so sure. Can’t say definitively no, but the dad is a mixture himself.

Here’s a pic of him coming home; 9 weeks old and demonstrating why his name is so apt;

and yes, he’s REALLY lovely 😊

He is lovely but LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THOSE FEET!

I reckon half collie, half sideshow bob.

I recon he's 50% collie 50% trouble.😄

But 100%  lovable.

I will, and for this reason;

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THOSE FEET!

It’s going to be really interesting to see how he turns out. He’s got big front paws, smaller rear paws, a small nose but increasingly long legs. He’s definitely got some kind of long dog in him, and I have no idea where his badgery colourings have come from. Thanks for the positivity, he’s awesome 😎👍🏼

lookathallittledoggie......

Collies are odd. Too brainy for a dog, basically an eternal toddler.

Something chunky and something long in there in the face....

So, willful, brainy, strong and fast.

Good luck.

😃

That's a smashing looking pup you've got yourself. I see collie in him and maybe a bit of bull lurcher? Is he a rescue?

Awesome looking hound, looks like he's settling into his new abode well!

We recently adopted a mature bull lurched. Thought there was collie in there due to almost identical colouring.

Most surprised when we found she was greyhound/staffie.

Lovely looking pup. Reckon he'll be a big 'un going by those feet.

Thats exactly the mix, I think. Mum is a very fancy working collie, with blood lines and everything calm and clever as you like, and dad is (or looks like from a picture or two at least) a bull mastiff lurcher from the wrong side of the tracks (well from the nearby village, anyway). Suffice to say, farmer wasn’t happy but we are very pleased with the result.

Suede says "Hullo Badger, any pesky squirrels/cats/foxes/deer round your way?"

Suede was presented to me as a bull lurcher but I'm not so sure he is. I reckon he has a fair bit of growing to do!

Interesting question...

I was fitting a tubeless tyre for my mate, concentrating so hard I didn't notice the munching sound behind me... his lurcher destroyed a fat old £50 Hutchinson in seconds!

Dammit, 10 minutes too slow.

I was going to say bull cross lurcher x collie.

We have a collie cross lurcher, mad as a basket of frogs. Kind of like a collie with rocket boosters and adhd. Make great dogs if you put the work in training them early. Ours is 9 now and still faster than every other dog in the park!!

You appear to have brought home a sports hound. A very, very fast sports hound.
