rob84 112 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 This has had me thinking for a while now. What are advantages of having a bull/whippet over a bull/geyhound as a terrier man's dog. Drawing work and covering the bolters. Seen a very gd bull/whippet work when digging mostly drawing work, but cant see the advantages of having 1 over a bull/greyhound. I do not want this to turn into a slaging match between the two breed fanciers i just want to find out the pros and cons of both types of lurchers as terriers mans dogs. Or if its the other way the advantages of the bull/whippet over a bull/greyhound? I look forward to hearing some honest opinions! ATB boys and girls good hunting to you all. Rob Quote Link to post
natter79 17 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 i dont have any bull breeds as they just aren't my cup of tea, but i would assume that bullxgrey would have more lung and be able to cover a greater distance, much the same as other greyhound crosse's, BUT as i have said i dont have bull crosses so i could be a mile out and if i am i'll keep me mouth shut! atb natter Quote Link to post

Lovely looking bitch there! speed wise would you say a bull whippet would hold an advantage over a bull greyhound over say the first 50 odd yards? Quote Link to post
Top Lamper 2k10 169 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 i reckon the bull whippet would be faster from the start of the night but comein to the end i reckon it would tire out n the bull grey take over most whippet crosses are fast at the start of the night but graduly start slowing down atb Top Lamper Quote Link to post
