Bull x's

[Guest Bunny Basher]

Im nearly 15 years old and have seen at least 5 bull x's working and 2 of them chased sheep, 1 of those 2 grabbed a cow and a different 1, when we walked through some horses grabbed hold of the horse before getting kicked off ive seen them catch and chase rabbits but never hares. 3 of them did catch foxes pre ban.

 

I know there will be plenty of good ones but the ones i have seen were not

 

What are your experiences on bullx's?

 

[Tallyho 181]

you only get back what you put in , i have bull x's and ours wont touch any thing they aint suposed to, the dogs that you saw the owners couldnt be arsed to put any time in to the dogs so they will chase any thing becaue they no no different, its the owners fault, :thumbdown. any dog is as good as you make them

If you don't stock break your dog then your risking problems, doesn't matter if it a bull cross, collie cross or whippet cross.......

[Irish Lurcher 1,013]

Have to agree with the lads, I have a bullx and have put endless hours into her, as the man says, you got out what you put in.

[Paul in North Lincs 15]

my opinion mirrors the other gents...........

 

any dog with no schooling will 'worry' sheep and cattle................if your seeing this... then its testamony to the fact that those dogs have not been properly trained.....at all.

an untrained dog is a pain in the arse , mind you i have seen a well behaved well trained dog attack sheep out of frustration , all because a fox bit him on the nose {pre ban} , the dog in question was a minshaw , now give the dog his due he was good on rabbit's and hares ,but when he felt them sharp foxy teeth he went silly in the head and took off after the sheep , this happened on three occassions and needless to say he got shot for his trouble, so i suppose you could say horses for courses and use a bull x for fox pre ban hope this helps you young man , happy hunting.

You must have been unlucky in the ones you saw then Andrea cos there are some good bull crosses about Still, it makes a change from slagging off saluki crosses, so I will watch this one with interest

[Guest bob]

didnt the minshaws have bull in them

[Guest ceredigion bull cross]

hey BOB that's the best you have typed yet mate keep it up i like your angle

[Guest SJM]

Bob I think I remember reading something about them having a bit of bull in them, so you could be right mate

[Guest ceredigion bull cross]

BOB is right there is bull in minshaw lurchers , but not the proper stuff that we all love so much

[Guest bob]

i may be wrong but im sure ive herd asd talking bull before

[Guest ceredigion bull cross]

i may be wrong but im sure ive herd asd talking bull before

 

if that is andrea your refering to then yes she is full off shit

[Guest joe ox]

There is dogs who worry stock regardless. But its usually down to no training or poor training. Singling out any x and calling it a stock worrier is WRONG. I have seen dogs do it out of frustration which can be sorted out with a good telling off, if there persistant the only option is a bullet! Before anyone gets on there high horse IMO they are not suitable to be rehomed as pets.

all dogs with a high prey drive will have a go at something they should'nt. especially if they arnt proper trained these problems are usually down to incompetant owners
