crorider 174 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Dont breed this dog, it's a pup for one and could be a rubbish working dog...bagging a few bunnies means nothing both my American bulldogs could do that. Work it properly for a good 3/4 seasons like had been said already then maybe think about it. There's dogs out there already doing the job that could add size into a line. Get a pic up You surely mean a mixi bunny? The amount of stick i got on thl for wanting to run my dog on bunnies was a joke and he's half whippet! his bulldog's not your regular american bulldog you see outside the spar on a council estate. i wouldnt care if his AB's were the fastest, most intelligent and agile AB's on the planet, they'd seriously struggle to run a rabbit how do you work that one out dont take much working out does it! Why dont you ask the man that has 2 of them which apparently arent your average council estate AB's? I believe his words were, they'd be left for dust. The quickest particular dog of any breed would only be a few mph quicker than another good dog of the same breed. And agility and brains aint gonna matter if it cant catch it! I'd love to see a sprint featuring a gymnast, Stephen Hawkin and Usain Bolt. Quote Link to post

Gitano 17 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Mate, as has been said your dog hasn't proven itself in any way and ask yourself honestly what he'd bring to a cross that isn't out there already? I wouldn't breed my girl in my avatar (a fat pup at the time the photo was taken, she's in better fettle now) because there's so many boar-catching dogs here who are better than her, there's simply no need for me to churn yet more pups out to such a limited market. 3 Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Because GrCh, people in this game think the grass is always greener... Anyone who uses this dog would want their heads testing and would only be doing so because of what it 'supposedly' is and not what its done BUT hey ho, i'll bet he gets one or two takers off here...!!

Youre comment irritates me! /ive stated many a time that im new to hunting but people like you think youre something special for trying to cause a row with me? Congratualtions to you if youre Mr super hunter with the best coursing dogs on the planet but I dont need to get out hunting much to know that an American Bulldog will not catch a healthy rabbit in an open field. Do you disagree with this or am i just annoying you by disagreeing with someone who been hunting longer than me? The only person that seems to agree with me is j1985 and he has 2 AB's. So if an AB can catch healthy rabbits in the open with ease, and a staff can course hares, why did i get ripped for wanting to lamp my dog? He's undoubtedly faster and more agile than both of those breeds and i dont need to be experienced to know that. I didnt say his dog was impressive simply cos it was big. This guys dog isnt even half sighthound and the other half i happen to know a bit about as i nearly got one myself after doing some research and now my mate has 2 from working lines. They can reach a respectable top speed for such a heavily built dog but are slow in comparison to what would usually be used in the lining of a lurcher. An APBT is a fair bit quicker and much more agile. This is why i said his dog could become something special IF its already catching healthy bunnies in the open. So tell me about these 60kg dogs catching bunnies then and be honest, dont try telling me theyre English bulldogs x st bernard or newfoundland x grate dane? My bet is theyre at least half sigthound and the size has come from either a large sighthound or a quicker big dog than a presa? or proabably both. Ive noticed how clicky this forum can be, theres probably a lot of experienced people reading this that completely agree with what im saying but would rather keep out of it that admit a newbie was right?? 2 Quote Link to post
j1985 1,983 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Flat out in the open daytime 9 times out of 10 the rabbit will make it to cover, but if it keeps turning the bull will sometimes get it as he'll almost cut it off instead of following. Like to add he's 73lbs an just under 24"tts and can f*****g shift and is usually in top condition.... 4 Quote Link to post
