BIG G wheton machine 1,594 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 im sure the wheatens hold their own with the bull crosses and have been around before them too but one of the best and gamest dogs was lurcher to lurcher breeding both collie grey crosses, dog was great foxer and was always in the right place at the right time.

ruby jet 184 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 So what would u say would be a better foxer then a first x bull grey let's just say 22tts 45 lb -50lb or a first x bull whippet 20-21 tts 35-40 lb I have my opinion just like to hear other people's think the bull whippet would beat the bull grey to the first one but then the bull grey would still be doing the job on the 3rd one jmo atb rj Quote Link to post
zakyboy 4 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 ive seen a few of these powell bull whippets i can honestly say i dont see the point in them Quote Link to post
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 but jb there where dogs before them, the first bullxs werent bred til 82 and there was plenty of people doing good numbers before them Obviously there was but I said what I seen. Quote Link to post
Chid 6,495 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 If I had to choose between bull/grey or bull/whippet it would be the grey x . Having said that I've seen a 21" bull x grey do foxes without much effort but would want bigger if foxes were my job Quote Link to post

WILF 46,685 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's vital how a dog finishes a job, no one in their right mind wants a f*****g bloodbath for dog or quarry. 4 Quote Link to post
zakyboy 4 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's vital how a dog finishes a job, no one in their right mind wants a f*****g bloodbath for dog or quarry. exactly never had the power to do the job right took to much stick and in the end the quarry deserves to die quickly.. and the ones i seen wer no rockets not every fox coame into 20 yds you couldnt afford big slips with them..much prefer the greyhound for height pace and power.. 1 Quote Link to post
CallumDonohoe 65 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 my friend had a bull whippet that would have killed foxes no problem it was 21tts head just like a bulls but longer legs and a leaner body it would kill a fox in a second i will get a pic of it Quote Link to post
CallumDonohoe 65 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 doesnt look much like a whippet but it was a bull whippet its head looks bigger than what it actually was as its panting it would run all day and jumped anything Quote Link to post
zakyboy 4 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 theirs no chance that would have caught foxes with any kind of a start is it just me or does it look like its never seen a days work in its life 2 Quote Link to post
toby63 1,236 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 looks bit on the heavy side that. Quote Link to post
Stabs 3 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Been on a dig with a "pocket rocket" and I was impressed. Never seen one on the lamp. The whippers used in these crosses aren't shivery little things. The cross we had out with us was bigger than my wheaten/grey Quote Link to post
