BULL 96 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 very intrested in learning more about bullx s with a dash of collie in them how they work in relation to a stright bull x ,dont want to stir up collie x boys against bull x boys ,not intrested in listening to that crap .this is a genuine post i want to know if the extra intelligence takes a great deal away from the courage of the bull x or makes them more efficient in killing/catching only intrested in peoples views with actuall experience of seeing these dogs work not people who think how they would work cheers BULL.

lurchermania 25 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 have owned a few and recently bread a litter also have trained a both firstcross bull and collie but the top and bottom of it is i have seen all of them do the same job. the way i would put it is it depends on how your wantind to train him and his role in life. if your wanting to brind it up with a firm hand then i would often reccomend a straight bull cross but with total praise then i would reccomend to put collie in the mix. now there is another factor to think about hae you got kids because many bull crosses are verry boisterus and so can be collie bull greys but they are all unique in pearsonality and people may dissagree with me this is just my oppinion from my experience thanks stewie Quote Link to post
bird 9,872 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 At one time i did think this would be a good x , but not so sure now .Having had both bull and collie xs, and if you drop on good dogs of those xs, Get the right colliex and they are one of the best rabbit dogs you will ever get.Same with the bullx, get a good'un and pre ban the best fox dog you will ever get. But when x to both breeds, you could end up with crap rabbit dog, or a crap fox dog .It might work out, but as both xs are top of there game on the above quarry, why take the risk.? I know some will say a bxg x cxg is a good x maybe, but a line bed bullx or a line bred colliex, i think make a better choise Quote Link to post

I know some will say a bxg x cxg is a good x maybe, but a line bed bullx or a line bred colliex, i think make a better choise Agree to an extent with what your saying bird. But surely this issue would be reduced with a good/experienced dog man behind the breeding, knowing what type of bullx to put to what type of colliex to get the desired attributes in the pups. Also, surely a line bred lurcher that has both collie and bull blood would reduce the issues you mention as with line breeding bull crosses or collie crosses. I think the bullx colliex mix has potential because of the fact they are two specialists (as with the salukix bullx mix), but as you say has the potential to go the other way to. Quote Link to post
staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 good topic as i will be looking for a saluki bull grey but it would be nice to have the collie in if it gives anything better or different Quote Link to post

That pic was took about 6 weeks ago i think there is a date on the pic erm been getting him in proper shape since then a good hour on bike when i come home from work 3 times a week then walk him up me brothers on saturdays. He used to retrive rabbit back but he just brings them so far back or some times he will bring them back he been on reds cant compare him to a straight bull as ive not had one had a 3/4 bull witch me dad sold with out asking. A member on here as him he was an excellent dog aslo collie in him. Quote Link to post
