tag 29 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 i used to kill foxes etc. 25 yrs. ago, with terriers. then i thought, what's the point? so started to catch and release them. now i have hare dogs, i try to have the best possible, not had them yet, but still trying. don't want to kill every hare that i see, prefer to watch a good course. hope i'm not the only one on here who thinks this way! fair comment , and maybe in 25 years time ile be of the same opinion , but until then its bull xs all the way for me , its not because i think there macho , or that i dont like handling quarry , ive had other crosses over the years that have helped put food on the table and given me years of enjoyment , now im not running that sort of dog , it doesnt mean im against them , i just like the way bull xs work , and as youve commented on a thread called DOGS THAT CAN GRAFT , were all the foxes you dug then released unharmed ?? because if so were your terriers really grafting ? if not then your comments have no bearing on this thread what so ever , so when we actually scratch beneath the surface ..... who actually is the knobhead ???? and just for the record , so we know who,s genuine, you can see my bitch work any time you like on whatever u like happy hunting Quote Link to post
Ryeuken 7 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) why do people feel they need bull x dogs? lurchers were bred as pot fillers originaly, hare, rabbit, birds, if you want to work fox, etc. get a terrier! are you macho bull X owners scared of handling live quarry? we used to (pre-ban)remove problem foxes etc. for farmers and release them elsewhere.-unharmed! supposeyou lot don't know how to handle live quarry do you? what a penis you are why would anybody post this bollox get a grip man id like to think its all a windup but i think not in this case one of my best dogs was 1\4 bull head like a frowing arrow GAME AS THEY COME showed more meatheads up than i care to remember Edited August 20, 2010 by Ryeuken Quote Link to post

taffy apple 32 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 simple answers are that as a general rule,for a terrierman, you will not beat a bull x....for a hare man you will not beat a saluki x... and as an alrounder ferreting/mouching there are the other lurcher breeds...horses for courses all bullshit aside we are all into different types of hunting,so we will all prefer different xs of dogs...i will agree that the chav brigade do portray a very bad image to the public with their dogs, but weve all been young and nieve and hopefully when they mature they will actually be an asset to the hunting community rather than a thorn in our side...as for best xs of bull personally id opt for either a 1/4 or 3/8 but this would only be a rough guide for me as a good mate of mine runs a really racey 1/2 cross which im more than impressed with...good luck to all whatever you run and a good season to all lurcher men...ps, i hope all you riflemens guns rust and jam... 1 Quote Link to post

At last some one who can read or actually takes it in, instead of going in 1 end and out the other because some one has an opinion which you don't like, you see red mist and start ranting total bollocks . No ones knocking the dog just the image it portrays. Especially with youngsters.. 1 Quote Link to post
dogman71 1 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Best bull x,s i ever seen run were the genuine half x,s from the mid to late ,s...never seen anything like em since...maybe because the bull side of the breeding was untainted with other blood which we see too much of today..atb stabba very true mate,my first attemt was about 20 years ago,a track bitch to a second gen import from geno and b j b lines,bitch never took though,some bulls about now have no blood in them staff,english and god nos what else,bull shit terriers they are,ive got 2 pups that are 21/32s a bit small but still racey should be decent rabbit dogs Quote Link to post
joedog 8 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 What,s going on with this MINSHAW thing,these dogs are nothing like the old dogs vic used to breed(and myself).years ago the dogs where bred for lamp only,never for daytime as vic will confirm. The hancock colllie x is easily recognised by it,s colour but is nothing comparable with the old breed vic bred,old BLUE was the son of NIPPER, he looked like an old labrador x. BLUE was just over 25 "and the best dog i have witnessed in my lifeand i have seen some good dogs(lamp only).But that was a long time ago and the breed is very different to that day. recently a pup was produced resembling old BLUE and is now about 4 months old,i have artificialy inseminated a bitch i bred with an old minshaw dog and these should produce some good pups.Dogs bred from BLUE years ago have been xxxxdd with all sorts of coursing and lamping dogs,also bull xxss so which ones the minshaw type? Its like putting RED RUM over a cart horse and calling it a Ginger McCain breed. Quote Link to post

redcharge 378 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Never realised how many anti bull bell ends there are on this site some of them need to get there head out of thier arses and stop spouting shite over the internet trying to get themselves pats on the back and maybe they would realise what a decent bull/ greyhound has to offer. Before the ban I have seen bull/greyhounds spin daytime hares, pull fallow bucks single handed, put 20+ rabbits in the bag and have decent nights on the foxes too. The best all rounder I know happens to be a bull/greyhound and lucky enough I happen to have 2 pups on out of him. The bull/greyhound has just as many uses as any other lurcher and its about time people started to realise it. Edited August 21, 2010 by redcharge Quote Link to post

Down side (not the best feet,and a bit stiff (agilty).They are not the best x out there , but you wont find any other x like a bullx, that will give 120% (commitment) to any job that you give it.
