bryanm45 787 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Don't think the protection work is a very good idea for a hunting dog though, but you get to see its movement. 2 Quote Link to post
bryanm45 787 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Looks a lot like a Stafford really probably a bit keener though Probably nothing a Stafford couldn't do really, but still like the look of them. Quote Link to post

downsouth 7,216 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Over here it would just be a Patterdale with some bull in it. 9 Quote Link to post

Lusitano 294 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 There are keen little dogs, but they are very obedient and social dogs. I like them... 1 Quote Link to post
neems 2,406 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 the little ive seen of the x in question is theyre a massive pain in the arse,even more inclined to be bad with other dogs than pures. not something id fancy for a busher. 1 Quote Link to post
Lusitano 294 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Having spoken to the breeder I was told that they get on with other dogs, eager to please and obedient, good guard dogs and good with the family... Not to mention they are excellent hunters above ground Quote Link to post

Not to mention they are excellent hunters above ground i just mean the x in general and for bushing. if there was game about that needed a more powerful dog and no chance of bumping into an innocent dog walker they'd be great. until then i wont try and re-invent the wheel again lol plety of dogs bred for the job about. 1 Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Just a crossbred cur with a fancy name. Not bred for any real purpose other than looking good... Form should always follow function... Quote Link to post

tinytiger 826 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 as far as i know the patterdale bitch used originally was top notch.(according to americans ive spoke to on here). Quote Link to post
Lusitano 294 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I can only go by what the breeder and the guys that use them say... But they are highly rated in America among the hunters who have used and use Fells/Patts from Nuttall, Booth, Wheeler and Stevens lines Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 as far as i know the patterdale bitch used originally was top notch.(according to americans ive spoke to on here). Top notch at what, looking good or work, real work...? Thats sommat most yanks know feck all about. Still don't answer the question of what they are bred for though and i'm sure its simply for looks and coin! Quote Link to post
