bird 9,868 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just seen the post = bullx pups, look nice pups. Was just thinking, if any people ever used a 1x bull x saluki, meaning a straight pit x coursing dog. I know people juggle it about a bit, say pitx grey x saluki xgrey etc. And they do well with tried tested proven dogs from the above %s. My self mine were 1/4 pit 3/4 Grey, and 2 3/8 pit x 5/8 grey, all 3 dogs did what they asked to do. Only one down side for me was lack of stamina, and bit of agility on long hard night but they were good dogsjust wondered if a pure bull x coursing dog ever been used to start there bullx lurchers??

peng 136 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I would've thought this is the way to go with the first cross surely theres more tested coursing dogs than greys available. Some of these coursing lines are so tightly bred they're pretty much a breed in themselves. Cant see a use for a pure greyhound in the field or for breeding off really. Quote Link to post
trigger2 3,137 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I am just being a bit thick here or is a coursing bull some sort of new breed. I’ve never herd of coursing anything else like coursing collie or coursing Wheaton or coursing any other breed for that matter. Why the name coursing bull? Or is it some sort of money making gimmick. 3 Quote Link to post

But why the name coursing bull it sounds a bit like folk making out they got something superior or special. I won’t go on about it anymore but I just don’t get it. Sounds like something some young lad/ greenhorn would come up with. 1 1 Quote Link to post
