there are plenty out there mate,i wouldnt be suprised if you get plenty pms

wouldnt recomend a bullx as a first dog. especially before you even know what a dog needs. do some research on what dogs need then start off with something easier to handle like a grey x whippet

Bull x lurchers and bull x grey's!! Should have been more specific.

 

I like them for their rugged look over anything, no real reason other than that.

patience and ear plugs, they are among the worst lurchers for whining and howling at night, stubborn too, can drive you to insanity

im thinking of getting a pup myself, miss having a bull grey about despite their faults, especially when i go for a midnight mooch around the place.

I knew this question would come up regarding the choice of dog!!

 

But before you jump the gun and suggest deer or foxes its not, big no no

 

I will solely be using it for rabbits mate

Then maybe have a look at some other breeds, might be more suited to what you after. Maybe see if you can go out with some folk and watch different dogs work. Buying a dog on looks isnt usually the best route. . . .

My first dog was a bullx, never realy wanted a bull x in general but before i started running dogs, a lurcher was a lurcer to me. All i wanted was something to hunt with and i done canny well with him considering. I would say go ahead and get urself a bullx as a 1st dog because i've had no problem at all with mine. (obviously cant speak for everyone.)

Then i got a saluki and i was told by evryone he would be a nightmare but i couldn't ask for a better dog.

Cheers, probably better shot with a catty than a shotgun!!

Get yourself a bullx kid. Best "pets" I've ever seen in my life have been some of these yard bred bulldogs. That's about 99% sure what kinda bullcross you will be able to get your hands on anyhow so I think it'd be a good choice for ya. It's not like you are gonna be able to jump right into some 8th generation type bullcross dogs anyhow that are the real mccoy so I say go for it. Be a smart little tool and handy to have around and be your buddy.
