THE STIFFMEISTER 16,131 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Blacky I've read my comment back and I come across as a little short Apologies in that but is your dog a bull cross as in its solely made up of bull and greyhound blood? Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 ]This may sound better in my head . But I never really see the bull cross as a lurcher as such To me a lurcher is an all round hunting dog. The word to me brings memories of me as a kid with my pals and our dogs lurching around in rough spots and railway lines near our town I never see the need for something with the build of a rugby league player being essential in the hunting world For a youngster starting off in the game . A bull cross is a great starting point with their carry on regardless attitude being great for early success on the part of both the tyro hunter and the hound itself...but I'd like to think at some point . The hunter matures in himself enough to move onto other things Don't think I'm a bull hater, far from it, and for the foxing man , or keen digger a handy bull cross is worth its often considerable weight in sovereigns . It's just my own belief that for the roustabout hunter, a borderline bullmastiff is not exactly the weapon of choice in my eyes , theres always going to be that macho need for them when in reality they are literally overkill maybe it sounded better in my head than typed, but for me they are not a lurcher, rather a stand alone type some good points stiffmeister, and some bull crosses are ,indeed,the rugby league player ,and as you say the will do a job for some. especially for a terrier man. But they do come in all shapes and % and builds with some 1/4 bred being light and quick. i have a 3/8 bull x bitch here that was far from slow (or heavy). I like their out going attitude without the sensitivity of some crosses. but my hunting has changed over the last few years so, these days, i'd sooner something else in the mix too, but i'll always have some bull in there. refreshing ,to hear an argument against that makes sense. fenn.jpg Pretty much hit the nail on the head roybo buddy, I'd much rather see a good old jukel like yours than some war dog being hefted ffrom the back of an Astra into a stubble field she is what she is mate ,that photo is when she was 12 months old though lol ,been a good partner of mine for 10+ years ,so a bit more "lived in" I was lucky,and got something that could run anything,that i ran her sister turned out 29, inch and produced wild bills dog in a round-about way to a father daughter mating Quote Link to post
