My main question is if the Britt which has been bred to a certain physical standard for so long would dominate? My own mix breed 1/4 collie-3/4 greyhound. You couldn't get two more different breeds. But it blended nicely to produce a fast, strong, courageous dog with a modest nose. He's eager to please and you never have to correct him twice. More greyhound than collie as the percentage would dictate.
