i have got 3 bull x , a ex racing grey an a russell . . . if you can afford to feed a good quality diet , get enuf work for another , exersise them all then go for it . . . .

depends how much time and work you can provide for them.

[rocky1 942]

if you got the work for it get 1 , i,ve got 3 ,mother and sons ,mother 8 ,duke 4 1/2 and rocky 20 months ,the mother is semi retired and only bits and bobs but only got the work for 2 full time workers ,don,t see the point of getting dogs if you carn,t give them the work

Well I've got two lurchers one 15 month one 3yrs and Im hoping to get another next year but I've got plenty of time to put into them so if you have time to work them than why not

you,ve quite alot of time mate with you been a young lad and plenty of land about you so you might be able 2 keep 3 dogs in work but do you think you can test the dogs 2 theoir full potenial and just don,t think theirs enough days nights in the week ,atb anyway mate what x you looking at getting

yeah true I got plenty time + land but like you say it Is difficult to test them to their full potential but I do alot with my dogs I go lamping I go mooching a couple of times a week I also enjoy ferreting , but my dad also gets the dogs out and about if I'm not in so they are always happy lol but my 3yr old big dog is more my sisters but I work him for her as she isn't allowed to work him by her self

 

I was thinking about getting a saluki bull grey or bull grey but I think saluki bull grey would be more sutaible for me

 

atb lads
