Taking hogs aint no great shakes mate.Ive seen boar taken by a lurcher that wouldnt even look at a fox if run on its own.Owned an AB too that took them but wouldnt stick its head in a hole

And I've seen bull lurchers take teeth with questionable breeding, I take it you have heard of the dogs Rhys bred from near me, who knows the breeding of his foundation dog, I've lamped with him and I think it's a different story depending on who he's talking to.

Seen a few of that breeding and didnt rate any of them tbh.Most of the lads running them from that area would double them up on a poxy fox

Not a fan of his style but it was a dog called Stan or a pup of his that I saw and it certainty didn't need doubling up on teeth. Obviously that doesn't mean his first dog wasn't well bred, it's just nobody knows how it's bred.

That's what you get when you have unfit dogs built like cart horses, his motor did more work than the dog.

Not all bull crosses.Doubling them up wont give em any more agility or wind either but in my opinion most that were doubled up was I dont think their owners truly trusted them to get the job done on their own

And yes, it's impressive finding a dog that can kill critters that don't die but when you consider the size of the animals with heads like a skip is it really all that.

He wasn't bothered about that, just about the kill for him and numbers.

doubling up helps em no end the dog behind gets at it when it’s turned if it wasn’t doubled they have 50 meters to make up every turn theyd catch f**k all and only have the one run in em 

i’ve seen very few that struggle to kill the fox once it’s gripped

Im not disagreeing that there are a hell of a lot like that.Ive been lucky enough to see a few quality animals that could run and catch stuff on all land,single handed and they were all of a similar bloodline.And guess what?They origionally went back to the real Mcoy bulldogs

Was that Pye bull cross meant to be off Scotsman's Max, that Reid bred dog?

I'm sure I heard it was off a Reid dog, I wise move anyway because they were known for their wind and gameness.
