Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I like the sound of this cross and wouldn't mind seeing some half cross and 1/4 cross. I've heard they are exceptionally quick off the mark and hard as nails. Should make decent lamp dogs and also tackle bigger stuff I expect. What sort of height do they throw? Quote Link to post

Just a thought...... Quote Link to post
