Big Jim101 29 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 alright lads, just been doing a bit of thinking, nothing serious and was wondering: preban, what in your opinions was the best cross for taking regular foxes NOT INCLUDING BULL Xs! i no theres alot of support for the bull cross but what other crosses were good at the job and able to do alot of it? ATB Jim Quote Link to post

plant 25 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I WOULD USE A BEDLINGTON GREYHOUND OR SOMETHING WITH A BIT OF DEERHOUND ......................................but not when i have a first cross bull greyhound that does the job ...... Quote Link to post
lurcher2020 285 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 A 20"beardie greyhound x was hard on the rarely got bitten Quote Link to post
BrianSteven72 369 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 in my experience and opinion most x will do foxes if they are brought up and entered the right way although some xs will be better than others and some dogs even the same x will be better than another the same x ! 1 Quote Link to post

Red-Dragon 6 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Almost any greyhound cross will do the job if brought up proper and entered with patience. The main thing is the bigger and stronger the dog the easier the kill, hence why bull X's excel. Quote Link to post
one-in-the-net 24 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 If ya wa gunna do Charlies regularly you'd get a bull xs there far superior on them than any other cross they have a lot better success rate overall on them bulls areade for the job that's my opinion anyways Quote Link to post
hounddogg31 5 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 My collie grey dog does them no problem, I think most mature lurchers can do the job!! Quote Link to post
