Cocker/Bull - Got no use for a first cross lurcher of any type these days.

In yesteryear those early Bull bloods were right up there using quality bull blood. Same with Beddys and quality Rillington stuff. The pastoral boys may say the same with their faves, and though i've owned a couple i couldn't tell you if collie crosses were better then or now.

Give me sommat line bred, off proven gear and i'll be happy.

If I was forced to get a f1 I’d take my chances with a f1 bull greyhound I’m a traditional  lurcher man by trade but don’t see traditional base blood up to much so a modern solution for modern problems is my answer I’d rather take my gamble there

I’d rather take my chances on a bull x throwing to the racey side as a foxer type than touch something bred from wet dogs that only wants to feck about with rabbits an won’t entertain nothing else tbh I’d rather just give up dogs than keep a dog that wants to be a fanny

Preposterous, sir poxon!!

Magoo is trying his best to ensure all of us will see the only dog to have is a saluki cross/type.

After all, they can catch hares, any hares, better than any other dog, catch rabbits as good as any other dog, catch foxes as good as any other dog and catch deer better than almost any other dog.

Why on earth does anyone need any other type of running dog?!

a half saluki grey is in my book about best half bred for most things mate 

a saluki best hares best for deer 

caqpable on bunny and fox 

theres rabbit dogs better than saluki coursing bred

and fox dogs better mate 

but for everything that be my pick

I’d like to try a first cross beddy/grey. As a general mouching dog. The only first cross I’ve had though is a beddy/whippet. All the rest have either been Lurcher/Lurcher or coursing dogs.

I see some cracking bull xs and this post was never about the best type over all as they no such thing and you should no that if you been into lurchers like you say ,its about what first x would lads have and why , we all have different xs but be good to hear what others say instead of you saying all types are useless apart from sal bred dogs

Saluki greyhound it is then I’m sold i think I’d have one ready for a new home in no time for my needs I just don’t think this cross would suit me unless it’s got a bit of bull blood then I’ll take one of our the right stuff
