Does bull improve the mix....???

[canaliculata 28]

Hi all,, i cant get away from bull lurchers....they obviosly have a strong following for a reason.... I dont have a problem with them, its just ive never had bull in my lurchers before. I have been looking at litters of pups for my next mouching dog, all i want is to catch rabbits/pheasants, i used to catch the odd hunted up hare before the ban.

 

So this is what has been happening.....just about most of the litters of pups i look at have a bit of bull in them.....all the owners have said, no pal.....no bull in this....who the hell do they think there kidding.

 

Right, so all i want to know is will a bit of bull in a mouching dog add anything positive to it. Also, what negatives will it bring..if any.

 

Lets avoid a slagging match please.....

to me a bit of ball in the mack up sum where for to reason's to thick up the dog's build and for the big stuff that can jump up but nothing that a good beady or coley would not do it's the 1st and 2ed cross that the ball works for the job thy won't them for

well i own a saluki bull greyhound,which is the best lurcher ive owned and the first bullx ive had.granted its from good stock.a friend of mine does not rate bullx but says mine is the best hes seen.really it depends on the game.bullx are built 4 a heavyr game imo.mouching lurchers bedx,colliex which ya prob already know.but yeah mine is 13 month old and cant fault him so i would recomend bullx .a bit bull in a lurcher ads that bit steel when its needed.

You don`t need bull in a rabbiting or hare dog.

not as a hare dog, but some bullxwhippets make good rabbit dogs , and pre ban as a fox dog well bred bullxgrey take some beating

ITS ALLWAYS WISE TO THINK , IF ONE USES GREWS OF THE NON PED TYPE IN THE MAKE UP OF THERE LURCHERS I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS ,THERE HIS BULL IN THE MAKE UP OF THEM AND IN SOME CASES CLOSE UP IN THE BREEDING .ATB BUNNYS.

Ive never seen the need for it myself in a mouching dog, but i cant believe the amount of lurcher pups ive looked at recently that have not stated bull in their breeding, but there obviously is.

 

I have heard a few people say, like ''bullyx'', that they are really good at working there nose.

they are good with there nose, if you give them the chance . My pup Tod as good nose, when he was 12 weeks old he would follow my colliex Bryn to all cover and thats (how) they learn to use there nose, he as marked rabbits+birds. My other bullxgrey that i had, i took him doging-in , and he soon learned to find the birds. They can do( more) than just killing things if given the chance .!
