People tend to cross Bull into stuff that is lacking something in the first place. They think the Bull blood will compensate for whats missing. Personally I wouldnt want to contaminate my Bull/Greyhound blood with the other stuff. the only reason I put another breed to bullx is to get better wind (stamina) a saluki or coursing type dog . I suppose it what your doing with your bullx , if its on a lead most night until it sees its quarry ok , but if its have a lot of runs in a night , bullx with the above breeds is what needed for lot of running If there is plenty of bull in the breeding you should get plenty of wind. The pitbull type is capable of incredible fitness and the Greyhound is capable of a massive explosion of energy and speed. If dogs are trained properly and brought to fitness with maturity (adulthood) they can run and run.There recovery is unbelievable with proper training. Most people do not realise that a dogs heart and lungs are not fully developed until they are two years old. Too much too young can cause damage,but inactivity and not enough when young is just as bad. Too much reliance on breeding a dog like it was lego by putting bits of diffrent breeds in to get a certain magic result usually ends in disappointment.. nicely put Quote Link to post
