lurcher330 2,301 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Does he pull hard on the lead i find alot of that type of lurchers are constantly up on their back legs watching for anything that moves btw a cracking looking animal 1 Quote Link to post
Guest FTBBTH Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 no! hes one of the best bullx ive seen, i dont personally like bullx because of there strong heads, but my mate doesnt even walk him on the lead anywhere, ner a main road or a bypass, he stays by my mates feet until the terriers are let off, he has a very thick dense coat though i dunno if thats a problem?

DottyDoo 500 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 na offence mate an it mite be the pic, but the dog looks fat/out of condition..... try getting it fit an tryin again like i said no offence ment.... Quote Link to post
Guest FTBBTH Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 its not my dog, so none taken, but ohnestly he is muscle bound, and not a spot of fat on him, like i said he has a very thick dense coat which is like a fuzz, mainly why he looks 'fat' he gets walked atleast 5 miles a day with me , and the days he doesnt hes out on the lamp with me , or out on the squeeker with me Quote Link to post
J.DOG 1,355 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I recently got a deerhound x bull greyhound he Is 30 inch tts 3 yrs old he breathes very heavily as if he can't go on but as soon as he sees something he's ready he pulls his head up and then he goes into a trance I don't know why he breathes like this he's perfectly fit he's like that I haven't had him long but he seems fine Quote Link to post
Guest FTBBTH Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 you would be surprised at the dog dotty, my mate brought him along just bushing around gorse with terriers, and he was exceptional, immense prey drive, he hits bushes and literally knocks them down after anything, we will see how he goes through the season, but he has really good stamina, just none stop panting?

Guest FTBBTH Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 j.dog, this dogs the same, he suddenly turns into a racey whippet or something haha, then hits the bush like a terrier Quote Link to post
lurcher330 2,301 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 they can be very highly strung to and when they run they put a 100% in weather chasing game or just speed flashing around the field Quote Link to post
J.DOG 1,355 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yeah he goes from a tired blob to a running machine lol Quote Link to post
Guest FTBBTH Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 yeh very true he never plays about, if u stop for a second he will come for a fuss, but marks bushes holes like a dream Quote Link to post
DottyDoo 500 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 i have a big pup here that is always panting, he is thick coated an just cannot cope wae the heat on hottish days he wants to lie in kennel in shade, until it cools down in the evening..... an if that dog is a thick coated dog an obviously large then maybe he is just gonna pant, iv never had large dogs meself until now, but i have been told it is normal Quote Link to post
Guest FTBBTH Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 his coat is wierd, it all stands up straight and is full packed tight haha, he never gets cut or nothing, it looks smooth until you touch it MAD, its like a shorter wheaton coat. Quote Link to post
