lakeman 12 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 The bull x has taken over from the saluki cross from years back............ everything was saluki, saluki, saluki. Altho' i've got a second generation 3/4 bred that's doing me fine. Unlike these 80/90lb cock extentions the seem to be paraded around and used for.......... . i judged the Irish game fair this year and there was a 'fox lurcher' (they don't have a bull x class of 80lb+ and the lad said''......he can kill a fox'' to which i replied he's entitled to, he's four times the size, if he couldn't i wouldn't give it kennel space. BUT can he catch one????? Quote Link to post
Bootsha 1,306 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 A lot of good and valid points on this thread, people breeding a litter just 'cause they're bull crosses, look the part etc, to much money involved, the latest fad etc, all are valid points, but I think that there's one missing maybe, some one buy's a bull cross, with a bit of luck a tidy one, takes it out, see's it working and then perhaps shits his / her pants. The "overnight" bull X owners quite often aren't prepared for the "prey drive" that a decent one may have, and then realise that they have taken on too much dog for them, and hey presto, it's up for sale with some cock and bull story. I have said it before and i'll say it again, this cross is not 1) Not For beginners with lurchers, and 2) Most certainly not for the faint hearted. Thats not bravado, or blowing sunshine up anyones arse, thats from having kept and worked that cross for more years than I care to remember. Just my humble opinion B Quote Link to post

pitfurness 2 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 some really intersting replys here. I just think if someone with the right intentions gets a bullx, and whose going to work it right and treat it right, i.e, not get it smashed to bits by 12 months then either sell it or use some other means of getting rid when it doesnt do what they want can turn it into a fantastic dog. Ive got a half cross whos 80lb and is very quick and racey but still unbelievably strong and game. what im trying to say is in the right hands they are an awesome all rounder. we dont all wear tracksuits and walk round with cans in our hands and put our dogs on things that can't even run.
