Casso 1,261 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 They'll all do the job in the right circumstances, but id be looking for a 3/4 bred animal, you dont get alot of time with the red lad, and need to put him under pressure very fast,, Quote Link to post

Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Tank is that the father to my bitch. nice fox irish lurcher did get good scrap i still think the bull x s take a lot more stick.. No point in them taking to much stick, they could end up jacking as you know well, an over worked dog can end up barking at its quarry as you witnessed two weeks ago with your bitch.
