The point the man was making was that although most can take stick, bull greys generally don't have the nose or general hunting ability to make good daytime dogs capable of finding their own quarry in the way that collie crosses can. My suggestion would be a deerhound greyhound for this work, almost all have good noses and will hunt like a hound and mine certainly hunt up their own quarry. They also seem to have a natural antipathy to foxes and will generally kill them without bitten up.

A friend has 5/8 3/8 and has one best noises l have seen for hunting foxes during the day if there fox any where near this dog find it no prop and its great to watch hunting across cliffs forest any cover .l have only hunted with 2 bullxs and both where great cover and finding dogs during the day but as bird said good bullx or good wheaten x breed out off good stuff and brought up and entered right cant go wrong

big difference between daytime foxing and lamping them.

not saying dogs can't do both but different qualities needed.

i have a three quarter bull quarter grey that has an excellent nose for foxes.i also have a bull/beddy/saluki/grey bitch what also has a cracking nose on her but she prefer bigger things.both dogs are good tracking dogs thru the day ive seen both dogs track there quarry from feilds away. i think good breeding and the dog being braught on right are key factors.

Any half decent foxing lurcher worth its salt will do them night and day....the main difference between night and day would be the numbers.

in terms of catching and despatching I agree. But daytime when the dog has to find his own stuff, use his nose, to me thats what i meant by different qualties, seen good lamping dogs show no interest in hunting the cover.

I think it comes down to how you work your dogs and your expectations...all my dogs took game day and night

My dog greengrass took bags on the lamp and would catch sometimes up to three on his own daytime . He would Mark earths brambles practically anywhere Reynard would be !!! I've never seen a dog lime it and anyone who saw this dog work will vouch me on him!!

He was Hancock bred and assume he was bearded collie grey !! This dog was almost human and made me laugh with the strange things he did and he just had a knack of finding Charlie ...
