gnasher16 30,025 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Personally I think the quality of blood was there in the Reid dogs it's just that no one carried it on mainly due to the bandwagon jumping always looking for the next big thing rather than sticking with the blood they had and refining it over the years, Theres probably a lot of truth in that which brought about my previous comment about the Dutch...while their main players were concentrating on winning with bulldogs our main players were concentrating on how to make the most £££'s from bulldogs.....hence they ended up with families of dogs that stood the test of time and we ended up with a mish mash of nothing ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
South hams hunter 8,921 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Whether or not the british wasted the blood they certainly have been used to produve some good lurchers : - danns/mcartnys ch general produced general, buck, daz, bruno, bullet, dak etc right upto present day dogs - nkks joe montanna still has lurchers around - hks knuckles produced punch, flyn, tag, bella, havoc, burty, meg etc. aswell as reece dogs, pye dogs, golly dogs, wrecking crew dogs without whatever else has come from the different dogs/lines that have graced this country. what I think people struggle to remember yes the blood may not be kept well in the uk but we are a country smaller than us states with little room to keep or produve big yards/bloodlines. - - marley produced marley, rio, remus, zap etc. Etc.

At least half of you're post mentions dogs bred out of stuff that wouldn't even get mentioned in bulldog circles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Any photos of our hers with montanna behind them? Wasnt aware he covered lurchers. Limey blood was bred with reid wasnt it? Sure it was and some dogs turnt out. We're reids dogs proven weight pullers or bred purely for the money and he just got lucky in what was produced? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quarter bull 240 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Was the shadow line anygood lads? Great thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogFox123 1,379 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Well Reece lives very near to me and I've heard that he got his Bull X that started his line from from a dog pound and bred from that. Don't get me wrong I've seen dogs off him do the job on all game but don't think it was a top Bulldog that started his line... And where are these Golly dogs from and what are they off??

downsouth 7,196 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Not top bulldogs either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,436 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Making some good lurchers is hardly the mark of a quality bulldog. How game does a dog need to be to catch foxes? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
downsouth 7,196 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I've lost count of the amount of times I've had lads telling me about their dead game lurchers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogFox123 1,379 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Not top bulldogs either. Where are these Golly dogs meant to be from? Don't say South Yorkshire because I know a Golly and he ain't no good dog man that's for sure.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
