samstorm 34 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 these dogs already exist so nobody is trying to replace the bull/greyhound, no one would want to theres just no need, but if you wanted a smaller bullx surely this is the dog for you, Link to post

samstorm 34 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 not a bull dog mate, a bull terrier, pit staff or english, a lad i know has a half cross wich he is breeding i am garunteed a pup, but just want to know peoples views on em what is your mate crossing to another half cross or a whippet had a 3/4 bred dog many years ago and was probably one of the best i ever owned and became very well known in local area still get asked about him when i go home and and it is nearly 30 years ago[/quote) he isnt sure yet mate he thinks probly another half cross but i have said to use a full whippet to get the quater bred, but its his dog and up to him at the end of the day, if he could get a 1/4 bred sire that would be better in my eyes, Link to post

How would you rate him next to a first cross bull/grey? Generally speakin anyhow. Link to post
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 In my opinion a bullxgreyhound would be much more versatile and useful. I see no reason to cross a whippet with a bulldog but thats just me. Would be way too slow to suit me for sure. Slow My mate as a 1st x and slow would never be a word i'd use about it!imo i think a lot of people that haven't seen this cross would be pleasently surprised...John Link to post
scent 509 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 this black and white bich is a bullxwhippet Link to post
Flamin'Nora! 50 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 if it was a pb to a good sized grew and not a staffy to a kc whippet then it might be worth the chance but like stabba says the bull grey ticks all the boxes so why look elsewhere Link to post
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 this black and white bich is a bullxwhippet Nice bitch scent Is she a 1/2 or 3/4...John Link to post
farmerkev09 105 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 You will be hard pushed to find a breed better then bullxgrey when it comes to vermin they just have it in there head to do the job and do it right if you no what a mean and my dog ant got what they have (the minerals) not saying whippet x bulls ant its just my dog as you no every dog is different but i also think its what you put in to the dog as i dint give him the opportunity to take quarry other than rabbit and the odd feather farmer Link to post

Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Some folks ideas of fast and my idea of fast aint got shit to do with one another. I now for a fact that you couldnt breed any whippet in the entire world to any bulldog in the entire world and convince me they were fast. Thats a joke right? Link to post
