Penda 3,341 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I think youll find mate that the true coursing lads keep good coursing lines without a sniff out bull blood in them and there usaually bought and sold too each other if not given and some people do like saluki bull greyhounds ive got bullcrosses myself mate and i have kept saluki crosses only for lampng really and i certanly wouldnt use a bullcross for coursing pre ban of course yeah you mite get the odd dog that will do it but its just not some thin thats done is it Quote Link to post

SLiP tHe DoG ! 129 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) your right lots lads get because they think they look good with them . overated and lately people seem to think that every dog has to have bull in em to do stuff what bites back ? dont really get it tbh . ive never seen a decent running one yet just feks everything up think they look good with them? ! do you mean think they look hard ? if thats what your getting at you may want to re think having a big poster saying i do some kind of obscure martial arts next to your name in big letters That is very similar to having a big headed dog on your lead. totally different thats got nowt to do with me you feking clown its a fighter i like from the ufc its his logo for his fight team hahaha you utter spacker Edited February 23, 2011 by SLiP tHe DoG ! 1 Quote Link to post
rocky1 942 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) heard very good things about this x and see 1 run and it impress me ,do,nt think they are spoiling any coursing lines ,it might closer 2 home then you think all these well bred cousing stud dogs getting used with the bulls ,my opion is you don,t need bull in any breed 2 take stuff that bites back [preban] but my god it helps and thats the hole point of breeding these dogs together, 2 me these saluki all about money these days and very little geniue coursing lads out their its allway names Edited February 23, 2011 by rocky1 1 Quote Link to post
supersam 64 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) tbh i wouldnt run a bull x in the recent bull cross trend. but whippets and coursing and track greys have been bull lined for years in a way to toughen them up and give them extra drive too. a lad in cork lined bred bull into his grey,s in the late 70ies and had a great success with them in track and field. by the pics iv seen recently of the dogs you woulndt think there was any bull in them but there was a hint in there. iv seen some 1/4 bulls that look quite racey and ya only have to look at taffybulls saluki,bull grey to see that he looks the biz and that he looks like he could take a hare or 2. collie crosses and weathon crosses are used alot in ireland with great success on fox. and in this country where fox can be taken by dog i see more of the above cross that the half cross bull being used. for the half crosses and 5/8 bulls that people put pics up then i wouldnt have one of them in my kennel but thats just my personal preferance. each to there own.

scothunter 12,609 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 think this thread was started to cause a row.Not everyone is interested in hares though.My current lurcher is the first one i have owned with bull in it.granted its very slight in its make up.in fact it looks more like a full greyhound and if it was still legal i have no doubt it would take a hare Quote Link to post
BULLRUNNER 7 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 your right lots lads get because they think they look good with them . overated and lately people seem to think that every dog has to have bull in em to do stuff what bites back ? dont really get it tbh . ive never seen a decent running one yet just feks everything up Both my Bull crosses run fine slip the dog,agreed that my male Charlie isnt suited to Hares "IF" he was to chase one but thats against the law int it,but my bitch has bags of stamina and nails anything I put her to,from the same lines but you wouldn't think so to look at her. I do agree that alot dont look like they could run 100 yards but there are some good ones out there Quote Link to post
BI9JOHNNY 25 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 years of good hare dogs being f****d by people puting silly bull blood not gonna be any real hare dogs in years 2 come got shit feet .got no blow. why! get a good line of hard lurhers got no blow ....sums up the amount of useful inteligence in this thread Quote Link to post
BULLRUNNER 7 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I don't think many people bought them specifically as hare dogs pre ban, so why would it spell the end of the decent hare dog? ? because all the decent running dogs are getting ruined by people putting shitty bullx into its mix when theres no need what are only good for 1 thing .... You obviously no nothing about Bull x's do you slip the dog! I take mine ferreting,they mark well,good with all live stock and run well,and will run on anything I put them too,.....what I would call an all rounder,might not be everybody's choice but to call them shitty shows how much you know.....which doesn't sound like much! 4 Quote Link to post

hickymick 37 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 what a load of rubbish this is about lurchers,yes we all keep lurchers no matter what cross yet your still bitching about a type of lurcher x,,at least goole some info if your going to slate a lurcher of any type,no matter what (you )say am happy with my bullx lurcher cos he would die to please me,nd its a lurchers i keep,,,sounds like you want a match with a bullx on hares,which shows you know nothing about lurchers at all or the law 1 Quote Link to post
cookie 2 8 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 i your right mate bull crosses are shit thats why loads of people have got them lol. each to there own if you dont like them dont get one i think a little bull blood gives them a bit more edge. well see next season weve got a saluki bull grey to try ,a half x saluki grey and a saluki,grey whippet x collie grey .happy hunting Quote Link to post
jf1970 328 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) what a fking pointless thread, personaly i don't have a bullx or do i wish to have one as i would have no need, but each to their own i say, nearly everyday on here there is a thread put up such as THIS IS MY BULLX WHAT YOU THINK or SHOW US SOME PICS OF YOUR BULLX, gets a wee bit boring after a while, i used to come on here alot but not as much now, to much shite threads and my dogs better than yours bitching. rant over.
