MissRhianL 70 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 * Just a quick note, when i say bulls, i mean all sorts of bulls, like staff, english bulls etc ) Quote Link to post
mushroom 13,103 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 My staff! She isn't a running dog but she will retrieve anything (fur, feather, remote controls ) so my opinion is simply don't knock the dog until it's had a go. Horses for courses and all that. Quote Link to post
hagar 5 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 depends on the type i always have kept good atheletic staffords, good nose ,great marking dogs good bushing dogs , good for an all round mooch, but for serious work you best off with a lurcher, jmo Quote Link to post

MissRhianL 70 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 think tbh this is abit of a daft question for this section Look but i only asked for peoples opinion on these types of dogs, alot of people are runnin lurchers, and some got pure bulls for bushing etc so its the perfect place to put it, if u havent got an opinion then dun waste ur energy and other peoples time!!

hagar 5 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I used to do a lot of bushing in heavy cover brambles you name it , had to pull a good few thorns out and apart from that only minor scratches no tears , bull skin is naturally tough , they lack pace for a serious run but over short distance or in cover can be effective ,tho i only mooch for fun and to make excercise more fun for the dogs , or id probably have a small lurcher Quote Link to post
hogdog 61 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) My Ingles Bull Terrier, not really a worker yet as he's only twelve months but he does a bit of bushing and picks up the odd rabbit. I will be starting him on the lamp soon as he's only twelve months and I wanted to get his recall spot on before I let him go on the lamp. He obviously never going to be the best lamping dog in the world but I'm sure he can do the job just as well as my brother's English bull...which isn't too bad at all and it keeps them fit. He's got a great nose, bags of prey drive, good endurance and wind and he's tough as old boots. He gets cut up a bit (especially on the legs and nose) but it doesn't bother him at all and he heals up nicely so no real problem. He's 22" and 55lbs Edited December 26, 2009 by hogdog Quote Link to post
