machine73 9 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 I'd give these dogs a go on hogs here in Texas. How big are they and do they have any nose and stamina? Quote Link to post

lowlowshotta 1 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 can not believe people are knocking these dogs as mentioned and jumping down my neck regarding my post of these being handy! Its obvious these are used for more than the bunnies and they may look heavy but look at the bitch stood next to the bullx she's in fine nick and will defo catch more than a cold. To finish my statement the lads who own them are more then happy so thats the main thing, I don't like collie/grey half crosses but I know lads are happy with them and they have there uses and are versatile animal.. If we all had the same animal or tried going down the same route we wouldn't have much to talk about.. People need to learn more and gain more knowledge instead of knocking everyones post or turning it into childs arguments. Thats my two pennies worth, I'm out Quote Link to post
