HALTY LAD 92 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Good bull cross CAN turn, and they have more drive, more determination, more jaw than any other cross going. Now dont get me wrong I keep and work other types of lurcher, as there are benefits to be had from different strains. Dont knock them, they have their place and will no doubt keep it with those that need that special something. Ive seen them take all quarry day and night, I mean all quarry, from rats to boar and red deer. No other dog will give that much to its game than the bull terrier your right dogs can turn,,,,but i know some heavy well built dogs cant turn,,,,,,,it all depends on the speed they reach and height dont post on here if ya dont know,,,,,ive seen the old fashion bully types cant and some can,,,but ive seen many not turn and whack straight into tree or fence,,,,uve answered ur own post it comes down to determination,,,,yet a similar dog can fall in that trap themselfs,,and be half a ton lighter and built and be as skinny as a ss whippet lol Excuse me, but Ive seen enough over my 65 years with dogs to give a valid opinion matey! And belive me when I say, not all BIG dogs run daft, some have sense with their speed. I have dogs now over 85 lbs in weight and they can turn enough to stay on the quarrys backside. Breed blindness is a curse matey, just because you have not seen any worthy of note means nothing. I wouldnt slate your wee whippets, they would sprint the socks off any of my lurchers, but I will tell ye straight, they aint going to floor the meat that a big dog can, and if your trying to say big dogs cant catch bunnies, well, I fart in your general direction 7 Quote Link to post

Moll. 1,770 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 i ,ve heard with halfx that they produce stronger pups 2nd time round i.e 2nd and 3rd genration dogs ?? Depends what qualities they where bred for Rocky. Most 2nd/3rd etc i have seen have been bred for big bucket heads and aggression, not so much to do with speed and ability. Not all granted, but a lot. Gafer, your 1st gen, 1st cross are a different dog imo than line bred 1st x's, just something for people to be aware of when they say they want a 1st x. 1 Quote Link to post

newcomer88 86 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 My personal view on them is no way. My friend had 1 and it was no good at turning , accident prone , a bit slow. It was only good for 1 thing sum people will know what I'm on about ,personally I have a deerhound bull saluki which I fined is a good all-round dog , just bread it with my saluki x grey hoping to get sum good pups . i got a pup few weeks back mother sulukixdeerhound / colliexbullxgreyhound dad sulukixgreyhound praying shell come good Quote Link to post
