You are right enough mate the pat would add some nice blood to a lurcher. Finding a dead game apbt would be a lot harder than finding a proven pat. Unless you knew boys working apbt proper.

i would imagine there's a few about

[King. 215]

But the average lad should be able to source the pat a lot easier. I would imagine.

They'd be very different types of dog anyway wouldn't they?

 

Surely a terrier is a more natural hunting dog,bred to make use of it's nose and hunt up,a bull is bred for other characteristics.

That's a very valid point.

 

Although one could argue that a bull is a terrier and given the chance would probably hunt pretty well.

 

I know a few lads use staffys as general mooching and bushing and ratching about dogs and they do the job.

If you're thinking about running this cross.. are you actually that worried about yapping?

I know its a big 'NO NO' in the lurcher world, and i agree.

Surley this type of mutt would be more of a 'mooching' kind.

Bolting to it on bankings, running woods, spinnys, pit tips... fell sides ect.

You'not going to be giving it 300 yard slips on six mile bottom or on Salisbury plain.

Most only 'yap' on a sent anyway...not when sighted. Thats what I've seen anyway.

If you're worried about the yapping... then you need to grow some knackers!!

A bulldog isn't a hunting dog,it hasn't been bred for anything resembling any type of hunting for a very long time,a lot of people would argue they probably have almost no terrier in their breeding.

 

I'd like to see a good bushing staff,mine have always been shite at it

They enjoyed it which is all they were really there for.

Who mentioned bulldogs?

 

And just because your staffys are shite it doesn't mean they all are fella. There is an article on here about working Staffords and I'm sure there are others.

Bulldog means 'bull',mine where all down from workers,all out from pups,but not in the same league a terrier or spaniel,I had 1 with an amazing nose and he did find some things quite well but was still no good at rabbiting.

 

It's just not in their nature imo,they enjoy it though which is the main thing.

The person who wrote that article would probably agree.

Feckin idiots ?

 

That's like me talking to you about cars, you don't know a lot about cars, but you know the basics, and you know a diesel isn't a petrol.

 

But I insist on calling a diesel a petrol.

 

And then tell you a ford isn't actually a ford, its a nissan.

 

Hahaha. Gotta love THL.

It's impossible to breed of a dead game dog anyways.

If it had a knob and wasn't infertile I can't see a problem Neil ?

Just re read your post Neil. I'm not talking a dead dog. Around me dead game. Doesn't mean the dog is dead. It's probably I figure of speech Neil meaning the dog is as game as they come.
