Ive had 3/8 5/8th kill hares and deer and plenty of them at that. Get them fit and trimmed down nice and they got a little bit in them. 2 Quote Link to post
Busher100 739 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I've seen racey 5/8 3/8 and same x heavy as any half x, but when I said heavy bull xs I mean half x and over, trimming a dog down might make it a bit faster but it won't turn a heavy dog into a speed machine Quote Link to post
C.green 3,229 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 This dog was built like a half feller. Seen much lighter half x to hal x offspring than what this was. And not talking of turning them into speed machines just having enough to have a fair whack at most things. Thing i found with the strong type bull greys is they would fade after a couple runs and would overheat quick early season. Id have another of the right type tomorrow and expect most stuff to be on the menu for it Quote Link to post
Busher100 739 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Fair enough mate i wouldnt comment on a dog I never seen but I think we can both agree if you get a heavy bull x you will catch less than it's racier counterpart assuming both dogs in question are game, I have racier dogs to do the f+d still young yet mind, I only have this reverse 5/8 for one thing if I wanted 1 dog for everything I wouldn't of got her and I think most people who buy a dog that's over half bull aren't worrying about how fast it's going to be Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 4,083 Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 This old dog could catch foxes in his day and even roos if he got up close,pit cross bullmastiff.If he had grey in him the world would have been his oyster.Pic taken last week,17, can still jump stock fencing.If you think bulldogs are slow think again. 2 Quote Link to post

Australian foxes must be a lot slower than uk foxes then because ive had bandogs,bulldogs and bull/greyhounds over the years and the first 2 wouldnt catch a healthy fox all the time they had a hole for an arse and ive seen plenty of bull/greyhounds that couldnt either unless they caught one by surprise. 1 Quote Link to post
