Opinions On Pros/cons Of Bull X

[Westy76 546]

imho the only thing a bull x lacks is a good jacket other than that I'm happy with what I've got and the fact mine have never needed a lift in a 4 x 4

Most people on here talk shite about bull x's, they're as good as any other x and a hell of a lot better at some stuff.....the type of stuff that would have most x's howling like a f*****g saluki!!

A lot of saluki's will do what any bull'x can! Just that a saluki does not need a lift round the fields in a 4x4 all night!!

That's brilliant. THE most stupid post I've ever read on here in my entire life.

 

Give yourself a pat on the back.

 

You prob need to get out more then!! not to reopen old debates but the old sal'x v's bull'x is floored anyway my own opinion is different to yours! and someone else's!! but i will defend to the death your right to say it, so give yourself a pat on the back, for such an enlightening come back.

Ive owned a half x and a 3/8th bred the half x is dead the 3/8th in his 5th season. Both knew how to use there nose and both were ran on terrible flinty ground and both caught a fair bit,I doubt id get another though and if i did it would have to have a drop of saluki or collie blood.

i have a 3/8 with coursing blood instead of greyhound and i think its def way forward ,this bitch has loads of gears ,wind and does what other good bull x do

 

 

deff the way to go, and for just teeth night after night, deff 1x bullx grey, as said on here Tug 1x staff was great on teeth , dont think that fecker showed any pain in 12 years great dog

I have collie x's and Iv had more problems with mine than my mates have had with bull x's. Egnore 99% of the shit on here if bull x's were all nasty, hard mouthed, slow, bad feet etc why the hell is there so many lads using them and iv seen 4 maybe 5 bull x's run and every one had pros and cons but id have been more than happy with any of them. There all slightly differant you just have to take them as they come.

they need that little something to add steadiness and longevity.

Yeah steadiness definitely but i dunno about longevity the bitch was killed in an accident whilst on her quarry but the other one is tough as old boots. Hes only been laid up a handful of times that i can remember and like i say has run on terrible ground and he gets abit of work. Self preservation is maybe the word for it.

Maybe these fellers that know of bull crosses that can lamp 4 or 5 nights a week will be able to tell us whether there dogs have ever suffered from acidosis and how much running where they truly capable of ?? Not after an argument genuine question to the more experienced on here.

i have one here that has suffered full rhabdomyolysis as well as getting close to collapse on various occasions, he was fully fit but his drive is far stronger that his body and the switch that would tell a normal dog to quit is missing.

A bloke who used to live down the road from me had a half x that never got Excercised or taken out on quarry. Believe it or not but that bitch used to get so worked up it would pass out. Ended up killing another dog and was rehomed to one of these "bully rescues".

 

Did yours make a full recovery pualus or is there any lasting effects ?? Atb

 

he made a full recovery yes, i have seen a good few get that worked up they wobble or even fit. its as if they hyperventilate and don't take enough oxygen in,

 

when they hyperventilate they take in too much oxygen.....this causes an imbalance of gasses within the system.......the transferance of gases ie the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide can't take place because the respiratory rate is so high......eventually this leads to collapse.....the bodies way of rebooting so to speak.......the 'wobble' is probably very similar to a human panic attack when hyperventilating causes tremors........the fits will be hypoxic, low oxygen levels getting to the brain because of the imbalance of gasses
