Or half X bull/grey..breed some fast 3/4 grey 1/4 bulls??? Not knocking pointers,but you don't hear of many folk using them for a lurcher..I've seen a few over the years,but no one has kept them going breeding wise...they seem to blend in with out with other xs and fizzle out ... Is there many folks wanting half x collie/greys these days,since Hancock stopped? Or use a full desert dog? Expand Bullx aren’t working no hill for you mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wales1234 5,562 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 If you want hill work and lamping , I’d find the hardest collie dog you can find and use that if just hill work stick a hound over it plenty packs around will let you use a dog There’s a very good pure pointer in aberdare supposed to be some animal aswell 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As I’ve said, it’s been my fault but to let his blood go, well, it’s something I’d rather not happen. He’s from top lines and pedi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,938 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 There's 2 cracking gwps owned by a member on here, moorman, that would be worth having a chat about, he said on here before he'd happily put them on a straight greyhound Quote Link to post Share on other sites
