Bull Arab and Bully staghounds

[CI HIR 13]

The Aussie`s seem to prefer Bull Arabs(Bull x saluki) and Bully Staghounds(Bull x big rough lurcher)to Bull Greyhounds.What do you think?I think that people in the UK are tunnel visioned,thinking if the bull cross has something else in it other than bull and greyhound it`s not as good.I think the Aussie`s have got it right.A Bull over a proven lurcher bitch must produce better pups than a bull over an unproven greyhound bitch.What do you think?Anyone have either a Bull Arab or Bully Staghound?

i was out in oz for a good while and went hunting a few times with different lads... whilst thy're dogs might be game as hell they are bit too heavy and cloddy for most work i'd have for any of them... bull arab's are a handsome thing and i was hoping to bring over a pup until i discovered what it took regards cost and quarantine.. by the time the pup had passed quarantine he would have been feckin half grown

Bull Arabs are not Bull/Saluki crosses

Its all about horses for courses and how big the game is or hilly or flat the country you hunt. you all prefer staffy or pitt type bull blood in your crosses where we prefer EBT easier to keep the leg. even our bully greys are a much bigger heavier dog than you have over their. thats because the main game in Aus. is pigs which can be up around 100kgs or so. the fox hunters down victoria way still have their straight staghounds or whippet/greys, first cross bully greys. the main difference I see is that we will give anything a go and have much less predgidous against show dogs mabe because of our climit people are out and about with dogs of all sorts and you get a lot less lounge lizzards.

Google Boardogs.com, superb pig hunting site from down under, masses of photos of ausie pig dogs doing what they do best, sections on the various breeds as well including Bullarabs.

 

Have to say that them Bullarabs are outstanding looking dogs. Never seen any work mind, never even been to oz !!

As an Aussie,can you let us know what way a straight Bull Arab is bred.The pig dogs I`ve read about are Bull Arab crossed with mastiffs,EBT,ridgebacks and even Great Danes.Are the dogs up there on Stabs` post straight Bull Arabs or crosses? Cheers

Think thats what he just asked? And why the attitude?...

[stevemac 445]

to the best of my knowledge the bull arabs make up is EBTxgreyhoundxpointer either GSP or English, now days both bloodhound and greatdane has been blended into the breed by various breeders.

 

common stabs he asked an ozzie LOL

According to Boardogs website,the sighthound used to produce the first Bull Arab dogs was Saluki,hence the name.

[stevemac 445]

not acording to the guy that started them of. there has been lots of reasons given for the name but really just wanted a catchy name.

Mate, it's only hearsay, but the guy who supposedly bred the 1st Bull Arabs, told his mates that his bull bitch had been mated by his old dog "Arab" !! It wasn't a Saluki, just the name he called the dog ! The "BullArab" never shows any Saluki traits, and I doubt that Salukis were available at stud, especialy to pig dogs, back in those days !

Interesting.There`s a lot of differing views.

The ridgeback,borzoi,deerhound have all been in Oz for years,so I don`t see why the saluki hasn`t.

 

Anyway,no one has answered the topic.Aussies use bulls on their staghounds to produce bully staghounds.In the UK the general view is that a bull x greyhound makes good hunting dogs(and show dogs).But a bull x proven lurcher bitch should produce better offspring(than an average track greyhound),but in the UK people would view them as inferior.Why have we got this mentality here?
