mydogscatch 21 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 problem with bull xs they take punishment and before to long there retired due to injury as every bite gets harder to heel, now the collie xs i seen which match bul xs for numbers any day are tactfull they take there time a bit more ,do abit of boxing and job done, they just dont go in like a bull in a china shop taking any hold they can,so in my line of work give me a collie x anyday,also if its pairing up your doing theres no better pair to take them down then the collie x 4 Quote Link to post

And regards quarry that bites back ,and doing this quarry regular well i think you need a good lump of the the right bull terrier in there 1x or 3/8 to running dog. As said Blaze the collie x grey that i had would do foxes or cats no prob at all, he used to like fight i think, as after he done them he would bounce around like he just caught his 1st rabbit when he was pup .But i didnt just look for the biting job when out, he did kill 3-4 a week if i could get+catch them, but i he wasnt a fox dog like some lads out with there dogs just doing old charlie and nothing else, he prob get sick of it, as hearding dogs to be honset do (think) to much at times, will be interesting how my 1x gsd x grey turns out as they are a thinking type dog .??

mydogscatch 21 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 sorry bunnys dont agree with you, iam not talking 3 or 4 fox a season iam talking 3 or 4 a night a few nights a week and how many lads have had bull xs that take neck holds and dont get bit not many i bet because all the bull xs i seen and i seen a lot run just grab anywhere as soon as they can, Quote Link to post
Hunter99 2 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 hi mate is that llan tip in backround ? Quote Link to post
fredofrog 9 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 The thing with bullxs there more consistent. where as only the odd collie cross would have took fox pre ban nearly all well bred bullxs would of took them. obviously dogs with more bull in them strike more naturally as they use the teeth more. where as some dogs with other breeding tended to run them round more. the other thing is even the best collie crosses that did take them would never match a bull x for gameness.

mydogscatch 21 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 your right for gameness fred, but i never wanted to walk around with a dog full of scars that opened up more and more easier every season, 1 Quote Link to post

bunnys 1,228 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 my dogs we allntitled to oppinion and respect thyne , but what i would saywhats all this abit of boxing . the red fella when in deep winter aint hanging about to take a round a 2 . agressive reds just pror to breeding season are and can be a different kettle of fish than those early in the fall . i fear those type of animals hanging and waiting for the time to strike will go on to miss many reds deep winter collie xs can and will take reds , but on the whole well bred terrier types are in a whole diferent league i believe ther may not be to many on this threadf that have sen a good single animal take double figures over a week outings and it would be a fact that the said animal that as taken doubles in the day would be a bull xs no worrying aboiurt a throat hold just a singlre bone crunching bite across the spine , killing on impact there have been the types that would disembowel on inmpact no need for a throat hold there be those types that take them across the back andd retrieve them still semi alive no need for a throat hold the old red could not inflict a single bite in these cases totally diferent ball game and approach , real fox type takers preban do not need to box they would be culls to some believe ,me but for those whos animal levels are on ly perhaps 2 ta 3 a night do not be forlorn reds deep winter like the long ear are a different kettle of fish , and takes a step above the average to take them in numbers and these could be found preban of course .atb bunnys. 3 Quote Link to post
micckey 106 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 For me collie x is bread for herding sheep ... apbt was bread to fight having more jaw power + all the other things needed to fight ,,, while I like both types of lurchers .. Ive seen with my own eyes which works best on foxes.... while I realy like the collie x It has not got the tools for the job of killing foxes..Ive seen good collie x's too with great heart but to be fair they are not in same league as a good bullx on fox... Its a bit like a middle weight fighting a heavy weight you admire the middle weight but something tells you who's going to win in end ... I am taking the best collie x fox dog against the best bullx fox here only a fool would bet on the colliex... Both types of lurchers are bread for differant things All in past now anyway happy hunting 1 Quote Link to post
