Do yo have any personal experience gained from owning and working this x??? 

Do you find it hard to digest, that folks who have had them, say different to your beliefs??? 

Just curious pal..... As its a forum where discussion is encouraged

It's meant to be a forum where topics are discussed but unfortunately it's become a place of bickering and everybody knowing better than everyone else. It's been terrible for years. Like I said, I wouldn't personally own a pointer cross and no I don't find it hard to digest that people have different feelings about them.

Fair enough, no bickering from me, just curious to hear why you hold your opinion and what it's based upon

The lads who run them do it for a reason...... Horses for courses I suppose

Like I said, I'm just not interested in a lurcher with gun dog blood in it. I can't see what it would bring as apposed to more traditional crosses that have done the job for a long time. Always good to try new stuff though and I'm sure there's good ones out there.

They won't be everyone's cup of tea granted... But from what I've seen they shouldn't be dismissed. That was my only point. Atb Sean

Your right , traditional lurchers can do what they do , but it’s just a interesting cross , what’s the problem in trying something different same as a lab x or a spaniel x whippet not hurting anyone is it?

One thing I noticed today though was stamina , today was out bushing for a couple hours after a good walk yesterday most the other dogs were f****d but she didn’t even look tired and could probably done the whole day all over again

Best hill lurcher iv seen is a collie bull grey bitch she was something special ! I don’t think we can compare gwp Xs yet because there not many about and how many people have seen a lot go , but mines decent at the moment wouldn’t say out and out hill dog yet though

I know the bitch in question mate  & she was a cracking bitch thats for sure but I just think with Gwpx or houndx they more natural hunters,at the moment I got 2 1/2 sisters here 1 just coming up 2 & other 10weeks old of line bred colliehoundbullgrey so hopefully these 2 will make good hill dogs but still wouldn’t think twice of getting or breeding a gwpx atb cbx

[Wales1234 5,490]

Hound Xs got no bollocks , hunting great but there no killers , That’s why I got the gwpx I think they will make good hill dogs we will see with the bitch , I’m gone breed my collie bull grey this summer though to a good hill dog , gone keep two lines going and see how they fair

Best lurcher I ever seen for finding its own fox was a collie cross, it was no hill dog by any stretch of the imagination but in large covers and such like if it held a fox it was getting pushed out.
