3/4 Bull 1/4 Grey New Pup

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

I'd be surprised if he went much over 24".

 

Like crackers says the ones I've seen were 23-24". They end up too heavy for most stuff.

 

But all the best with him ?

Terriermans dog, think you've bought the wrong type if your doing plenty of running, but good luck with him ??

All depends how it tunns out I can't see it making much of a catch dog but could be a handy second back up dog

Cheers everyone, I did think he might turn out a bit heavy but hopefully might be leggy enough

Ive only had one this way bred but it depends on the bull family it comes from. Some very good bulls are built like whippets with big heads. My bitch was very very clever with a very good nose and very agile when bushing. She caught a rabbit first time out lamping...she gave us a lot of pleasure and some good pups. Very trainable but not wise to kennel with a mate when she matured in case an argument broke out.

 

She was around 23"

Could u expect a lot from this x? Recently saw a half x to half x and was straight lined by rabbits. And I know they ain't rabbit dogs, but all other quarry bar one runs quicker than a rabbit.

Atb with pup n hope it turns out with what you want from it.

Do you mean the dog didnt catch or was not able to close the gap between himself and the rabbit? The slowest half cross Ive ever seen was a lightly built collie greyhound but I wouldnt judge all collie/greys on that performance. I could only judge that particular dog.

what was the reason you just didnt get a full bull mate?

I got a 3-8 5/8 bullx bitch towards the bull and she's caught alot of rabbits very good turn and great nose and brain She's never gone be your 50 a night rabbit dog but she's done 26 and surprised a few lads in her time

This is the dog I saw work...

 

 

And this is another one which crackers owned many moons ago...

 

Obviously the 3/4 bull is the shorter of the two...

I ideally wanted a half cross something stronger than my 3/4 grey 1/4 bull and couldn't find any litters anywhere for months then this one came up, the sire is 26tts and the dam was a alaunt she was about 23 tts so thought I'd take a gamble but if he turns out like the two you have posted he would be an OK size to work along side my other Lurcher
