Bitza Or Cross??

[Guest AngelicAcid]

What would you prefer, a Bitza, with a dash of most Breeds, or a set cross, ie collie grey. or a bull grey E.T.C.

i allways prefer a set cross or a strain, so you can see roughly what your going to get breeding is key for me, best to best but thats not to say you carnt or wont get good dogs out of bitsa dogs my mates got one out of unkown breeding a cracking dog wish i had it have no clue how its bred but if i was paying with my money it would be out of known breeding

well some 1xs are good dogs, but i suppose proven workers =lurcher to lurcher is more of a better choise as you know the parents are doing the job already, and the 1x is just the start of a lurcher .!

I think a bitza for all round workd but for specialism get a cross.

seen 1st x's bred out of shite, rather chance my money on a decent size bitza

bitza provided you know what bitza in them :laugh:

Bitza's can always be a gamble, but know the parents and preff further back too and if they all do what you need then that could be the dog for you.

Proven parents, grand parents is more important to me.

Agree. Most dogs which are fast enough will catch rabbits, but to have that second sense, instinct, timing, drive, along with all the other things such as great feet, eye to mouth coordination, and what to me is an inherited knowledge of prey........well it makes sense to get a dog whose ancestors having been doing the same over many generations. I know that many won't agree, and I have had specific crosses (Collie Greyhounds, 1/4 Collie, 3/4 Grey) and one was absolutely brilliant. I suppose you could call my Airedale lurchers first crosses of a kind, even though the sire isn't a pure bred, the dam is, but working bred from dogs doing it in the field has to be the deciding factor.

I fekin hate that word bitza to describe lurcher to lurcher bred dogs by that self opiniated bullshitter plummer all those years ago in his method to boost sales for his mates first cross and 3 quarter bred collie lurchers wile keeping lurcher to lurcher bred dogs himself.I prefer lurcher to lurcher bred dogs any day and some of my best dogs i have owned have been bred this way farfar better than anythink with just two breeds in i have owned.

TOTALLY AGREE THE NAME IN ITSELF WAS INVENTED BY THE PLUMMER FELLA , TO DO NOTHING BUT RUBISH THE FINEST TYPES THERE CAN BE GOT FOR EDIBLE GAME AND IN SOME CASES JUSTY ABOUT OUGHT ELSE . ATB BUNNYS.

I quoted the name Bitza as it can be what a lot know/understand to be a lurcherxlurcher.

I call a lurcher a lurcher.

Anyway, the question is would you prefer this as to a set X.

It wasent aimed at you and due to his writeings sadley a lot refer to a lurcher to lurcher bred dog as a bitza imho he called them that in a derogatery term.I would prefer a lurcher to lurcher bred dog any day over a set x past and present for takeing edible game.
