Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 For those of yall that have owned one or some of each cross, give me your thoughts on how they compare to each other. Quote Link to post
vld 62 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 For those of yall that have owned one or some of each cross, give me your thoughts on how they compare to each other. I currently own and work one of each. Between my two there is no comparison - the smaller whip/grey is faster off the mark and over distance, smarter, alot more stamina, hasn't had as many injuries as the bull x. I would say they are on a par in terms of "heart" They;ve both worked things with teeth (preban) and again the whip/grey was better. I've bred my whip/grey and kept a pup - I'd never breed my bull x - there are top bull x's out there, mines just not one of them. BTW the whip.grey is 7 and the bull x is 3 and the whip/grey still gives its all. Quote Link to post

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Had a Whip/Grey 20 years ago that was shown plenty of game with being young and keen and very little restriction to hunt.She was never found wanting on anything granted she wasn't as powerful as a bull/grey but still got the job done,plenty of speed and a desire to catch that you only see in them special dogs.

Looking for more speed off the Mark and agility putting a whippet/grey over your bull x can only add speed an agility mate,they might throw 1 or 2 pups that favour the bull x side but thats where the beauty of having the pick of the litter comes into play,dont rush into it an pick the first whippet/grey you see though,theres plenty out there so find one that will suit you and more importantly one that would suit your bull x, happy hunting mate Quote Link to post

Born Hunter 17,763 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Why are you interested in comparing the two dan? Imo they are two different types for two different jobs. A cross of the two types would be my preference. 3 Quote Link to post

Guest dances Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Let's be honest you wouldn't compare a grew to a bullx for gameness or hardness but then again you wouldn't compare the bullx for off the mark speed Quote Link to post

Looking for more speed off the Mark and agility ov course it would'' but i am not saying all pups will turn out pacey n agile' depends how sire n dame r breed' that uv got' we have two brothers here same way breed' but one is faster off off the mark n up to his stuff' quicker than the outher' but he is more racier than the outher' like i say depends how ur breeding um' n what percentige ov whats' in them..
