csteed 40 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 My bull x bitch takes rabbit day and night, live to hand when to. Quote Link to post
NOOK/ANNA 96 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I have a 5/8 Grey 3/8 Bull X bitch stands around 23-24tts. Regularly takes double figures on bunnies all retrieved to hand. Catches some she has no right to imo and will also run all night. Also a demon a on reds. Think some people think because there's bull in there lurcher they have to be heavy built and over feed the dog making it harder to keep fit which shows when on bunnies. 1 Quote Link to post
bird 9,932 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 all mine did no prob, maybe not the best for rabbits but still get good bag. The whippet x bullxgrey i always thought would be good on 'em, mine were just straight bullx greys.! 1 Quote Link to post

woodj 33 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 i have a 1/4 bull and he takes rabbits no problem, catchs a lot more then he misses, Quote Link to post
martnmagik 68 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 In general there are better types for rabbits but a good bull cross will do the job. If I was to get a specialist rabbiter it wouldn't be a bull cross but as a general lurcher they are a handy type. As with most things its horses for courses, this lad takes rabbit ok but will never be a world beater at it. sorry mate but that has to be the ugliest dog ive ever seen but if it does its job looks dont matter Quote Link to post

Chid 6,542 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Plenty of bullxs will catch rabbits and bring em back live , hogie's wee bullx will catch rabbits on most ground seen her take them on a golf course which ain't bad considering shes 21"tts and is heavyish built . HBG had a few good pics of his bullxs retrieving rabbits over hedges and fences With a bull x only the people who ain't seen them think that there one trick ponies 2 Quote Link to post

whippet 99 2,613 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 AS SAID ALREADY, NOTHING WRONG WITH BULLXS FOR RABBITS, PREFER LOW PERCENTAGE AND A BIT OF WHIPPET FOR RABBITS. THE HEAVIER BULLX S SERVE THERE PURPOSE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED THEM BUT I HAVE WORKED THEM AND THE HALF CROSS A LITTLE TO HEAVY FOR RABBITS BUT NOT ALL OF THEM ARE Quote Link to post
ruby jet 184 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I've got a half cross bitch not bad on the bunnys but I've also got a 1/4 much better on the turn and will pick them up alot easyer and her mothers a 1/8 cross and hovers them up so I think that answers the question IMO atb rj Quote Link to post
