Gilbey 1,470 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) What is there to get, someone asks what any lurcher is, the quickest easiest way to answer is to name it's cross. Bull grey Whip grey "Coursing bull" I'd have a coursing collie in the future.....but call it a lurcher Edited March 13, 2020 by Gilbey Quote Link to post

Really? Hear plenty folk talking about their saluki/bull/grey or bedd/bull/grey, collie/bull/grey etc A bit of bull can go a long way though, so it doesn’t take a lot to make a dog pretty bully. I think the coursing bull thing makes sense. Just coursing dog x bull x, usually out of real good coursing blood and a well tested bull x. For down here - it’s a tried and tested x that works. The ground here is tough running at times. 2 Quote Link to post

So your saying these coursing bulls are coursing dogs cross with a bull x so that’s a coursing dog x bull whippet or bull saluki grey etc etc. So it should be called what it is then a coursing dog cross bull whippet or bull saluki grey or bull grey etc. Or a lurcher there’s no need to call it a coursing bull unless it’s a pure bull x with a coursing dog. That’s what I haven’t been able to grasp I think Quote Link to post
SheepChaser 8,089 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 I’ve got to admit I find it a little ridiculous that you’re arguing about how someone has called their dog by the ‘wrong’ name ..... I don’t see people using the words ‘coursing bull’ to try to sell litters it anything else, just as a descriptive term. It makes a lot of sense ..... Id say they would predominantly be Line bred coursing bred dog put over line bred bull x bitch. So only coursing blood one side and proper bull x Blood the other. A bull x with coursing blood ..... a coursing bull type Lurcher. They also seem to have a certain look - lots of them look similar colour etc to a coursing dog but heavier boned etc. And I’m not actually sure it’s used that much anyhow? Far more folk just say saluki / bull / grey. Does it really bother you? 2 Quote Link to post
