No Bull Blood!

[nomoon 542]

I'm not a fan of Hancock dogs but credit were its due,there was some very good Fox dogs up this way that were Hancock bred early nineties . These dogs were all direct from Hancock but were 1/2 cross , 5/8 cross and a 3/4 cross the dogs I can remember , all of them 100% on Fox .

agree with this had a couple myself,and a couple of bitsa lurchers,think some of its down to entering at the right time,etc think with the bull cross,s people assume there all gonna be dynamite,jmo mc

To play devils advocate,how 'game' in the true sense of the word are you going to get crossing any bulldog with a running dog, and how game does one need to be?

Also how would you test for that level of gameness?

Just playing devils advocate.....

Good deergrey colliegrey dont need to take the punishment as they go about the job in a very different way once the penny drops,, i have seen dogs of this cross who take fox regular single handed and they have hardly any marks,, yet bull x taken half the foxes peppered to feck !

It all depends how much work the dog has seen during the night/day before hand, a tired dog is not as efficient as a fresh dog.Depends on a dogs individual style some take a chewing and others dont get a mark on them.But its a different story when they are tired,Ive seen dogs that usually dont get a nip take a lot more punishment later on in the night when they are tired .
