MARKR1985 15 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 My first lurcher was a collie/bull/grey and she was an absolute peach. Never had a dog as honest as her and she always did everything asked of her. Quote Link to post
Taffybull 48 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 As its your first dog mate, make sure you pic a cross suitable for what you intend on using it for ie. id look more to the beddy/whippet type if you intend on using it as a genral rabbiting dog or even a collie cross, but never the less a dog of this cross from proven stock, and genuine stock at that should have no trouble with coping with redskins. but on the other hand... bullcrosses can be a very handy cross, all depending on what you intend on using the dog for. imho, i wouldnt advise a bullcross with anything more then a 1/4 bull in, as a first dog? just my opinion though. i find that when you step up the bull % to half or even 5/8ths bull they then come more of a hand full when they develop. but im talking on a note of genuine, working blooded bullcrosses. not any old shite. i do honestly think the bull cross are an over rated cross. just my opinion! . cracking for a spesific job. just dont quite make what id call a great allrounder, but like ive said just my opinion. i know full well my bullcross is far from an even good allrounder, hes a "dog for the job". Just make sure the cross you choose is chosen wisely. Quote Link to post
