bullyson 2,023 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I run a half also gaff and bred well too. Only first season bitch. Catches lots of gear and doing exceptional for a first x in a lot of areas I never thought she would. Catches big rabbits no bother and had 2 during day and not kick ups either but fast first xs are far and few between. Seen and owned plenty that lacked a yard but very keen animals being half bred and when there good there hard to beat. 2 Quote Link to post
benchick 42 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 cant wait to see peoples opinions ive been researching myself for a while now, ive been thinking about breeding a litter of first xs this year maybe but still not fully made up my mind, maybe use insted a cracking half x dog over my hancock 1/4 collie making the pups 5/8 grey 2/8 bull 1/8 collie 1 Quote Link to post
blackmaggie 3,376 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 always preferred a 5/8 3/8 myself gaf but seen some decent half crosses to be honest had a 3/4 grey 1/4 bull but dont really rate them and thats my own take has there is decent ones out there worth owning alot of bullxs i seen were good /natural retrievers live to hand not smashed has some like to think i think the bull adds some good traits when put in a lurcher 3 Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 whats peoples opinions on 3/4 gh 1/4 bull or 5/8 3/8 Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 It doesn't necessarily go that a 1/4 is racier than a 3/8 or even 1/2 for that matter you need to pick a stamp you like from parents that do what you want . My bitch is 3/8 and I've seen heavier 1/4s in fact heavier saluki crosses lol Should be what they do not how they look What do you want in a bull cross gafer? 6 Quote Link to post
bunnys 1,228 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 choosing a stamp of type his here said , because bull types throw a large range of types ,fractions mean nought and that goes for pretty much all types see saluki bull grey types heavier set than generation bred bull greys stands to reason when breeding with family bred stuff they start to become more raciey and suitable for more than just the terrier man . and will be fllet enough to out strip all british quarry plus game , atb bunnys. 2 Quote Link to post
bird 9,969 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Guy int pub said surely it depends in job, and then there's fact some half's turn out like pures, some turn out like 3/4breds and there abilitys differ. Same can be said if any %. spot on , from seeing them work, and my own dogs, 1/4 bull can give that bit of extra guts to most lurcher xs. to deal with most quarry. But when it comes to teeth and getting bitten/ hurt , to me there nothing to touch a well bed 1x pit x grey , or 1x pit x lurcher for that kind of job , it having that mentally not to feel pain, and the more the pit in the mix, should give you that . But on alround lurcher work a 1/4 or bit more is ample Quote Link to post

bunnys 1,228 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 if one feels the need for more speed on there half bull xs grey or lurcher one would not go far wrong with fast type coursing dog steer cleer of extra gry blood trust me been there , . atb bunnys, 3 Quote Link to post
Chid 6,584 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Bull lurcher x bull lurcher and not worrying about percentages would be my choice 3 Quote Link to post
Lenmcharristar 9,883 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Gaffer the 5/8 3/8 cross seems to be common over here. Great fox ins dogs with plenty of power in the jaws n neck to deal with many tasks Quote Link to post
