rocky1 942 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I don't class a bullx as a lurcher because they run and work different. They have there own classes at shows because they are shaped different aswell so would class a beddy.grey a lurchers both terriers x greyhounds Quote Link to post
123456 146 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yh because unless litter wastage they have the shape of a lurcher. Although beddy and bull are both terriers the bull is unlike any other terrier. Quote Link to post
rocky1 942 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 and about bullx having the own class at shows i think that down 2 how popular they are not weather or not ppl classes them as lurchers 1 Quote Link to post
123456 146 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yh but so are a lot of other crosses like beddyxs, colliexs, deerhoundxs etc. Etc. Quote Link to post
Kile 21 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 i think if you have a bull x whippet grayhound x saluki deerhound x whatever .. you can call it anyone of those breeds ..... kile Quote Link to post
bird 9,965 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 i think when you go more than 2 breeds you can loose what the bull put in to the lurcher (tenacity,power,guts, ) i know you can still get these thing with other xs with that bit of bull in them, but straight bullx really does take some beating i think. My dog Tod is 3/8 bull 5/8 gey, bullx to bullx , and he can get rabbits no prob. i think the 1 quarry rabbit is the 1st thing any lurcher as got to catch , and bullxs will do it no prob what ever the %. But i do think if you going to put the bull in the x, you need enough in the 1st place , and 1x or 3/8 is about right to make (that) differnce . Quote Link to post

BIRD WOULD YOU CLASS TODD AS A LURCHER ??? yes mate, to be honest when ive gone out lamping with him and he as had rabbits, Bryn is only that bit faster+ agile, but he will be as he is 11 lb lighter. Bryn is really just a rabbit dog and dam good un, but Tod will do tackle alot more than rabbits .lol So he is a lurcher but more than just a rabbit dog Quote Link to post

j1985 1,984 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 So would you not class my 1/4bull 1/4whip 1/2grey pup as a bull x ? I would call it a grey whippet with a touch of bull but that's just my opinion. Either way you look at it it's a lurcher so unless you think it 'bigs up' a dog to call it a bull cross why call it anything else? Why not call it a bull x grey with a touch of whippet ? lol Quote Link to post
rocky1 942 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 at the end of the day they all runningdogs /lurchers purrposely bred 2 work Quote Link to post

bunnys 1,228 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 myself CANT SEE THE POINT IN AQUIRING A BULL X THAT WOULD MAKE UNDER SIXTY POUNDS ,ther his better types for rabbs and feather that can be sourced ,sixty pound plus will with the right breeding ,give you an animal taking of taking preban of course foxes nighrt in night out in numers single handed , plus the heavier edible game . temperament his a very important must in the generation bred bull xs from good lines ,some can be scatty untrustworthy round other dogs etc , the line bred bull types to me will out shine most f1s like most types finding the right lines bred from skilled knowledgable breeders of ocasional litters his wher i would look if needing a bull x atb bunnys.
