runforyourlife 361 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Bronco was a bullx 3/8 5/8. We got him at the same time as we got the saluikx... He never really got going till he was about 12mth old but when he did, he became a useful "tool" in every sense. He was great on larger stuff, and was also a lovely pleasant dog to have around.... I did all the training from when he was about 12 weeks right through till he was about 12months.. Then my then partner(DOGGING) got Billy the 28" bullx and took them both away to live on a farm.. I could see it going down hill from here on in. And they only ever went out after dark. Ok, thats what bronco was good at. Then the walking slowed down and he was kennelLed a hell of alot.... And moved about... i tryed to rehome him a few times, even loftie off here had a go at him, but his recall had failed and he would chuck a deaf one, we both agreed he wasnt the dog for loftie.... The story comes to abrupt end, when last week he nailed 2 sheep, then another 2 of sunday, this was he last outing. As he was taken to the farm were he was put to sleep.... He had gone to far. But to me it wasnt his fault. The dog had gone stare crazy, not been run, walked and was only venting frustration and wanted to kill, like any lurcher.. The training had all but gone, and he had in no time become an unruley dog... I was gutted and still am, so is loftie his missus and my missus as he was a real dog at one time, he would have been 3 in november, so he had a short and troubled life... Lurchers must be treated with respect, and the faith they have in other is se3cond to none... When they are gone it is to late.... RIP BRONCO... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thought of trying to find an elderly lady but bronco wouldnt have been happy.. You done the right thing chap.in a pet home he would have bumped into cats and all livestock while exercising unless if he was left to strict lead walking which isnt fair on any dog.

poacher3161 1,766 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Best thing you could have done for this type of cross as rain dog rescue nr me let my mates father who suffers from angina take on a bull cross after loosing his old labrador they told him she was as good as gold in the house wich she is but once out if shes let off the lead she just ignores all commands and becomes a liability.

CarraghsGem 92 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 sad to hear about your dog, nearly took that route with my collie bitch when she started snatching the odd chicken on me, once my temper cooled a bit i managed to come up with a better alternative.
