poxon 5,724 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 good cross mate! you will have some fun with that cross an it will serve you well hope you all the best with him/her you dont need bull blood to be a allrounder but i like the ways alot of people think you do to retrieve the odd shot fox an deer but it allways puts a smile on my face Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 nebver needed bull cross to retreive foxes etc or deer when it was all legal ,best allrounders ive saw were collie type to saluk type best to best saw several 2 Quote Link to post
