Seen some crap posts on here, and this one is up there with them !!! REAL dog lads use their bull Xs for what they were bred for, not as fashion acessorises !! Don't talk if you don't walk !!!!

Cheers.

3/4 bred greyhound 1/4 collies and every one does its job and am willing to go out with anyone and prove it and at the end of the day i am only quoting what i have seen for myself and have not been impressed but i dont doubt there will be some decent ones knocking about

Frost Is there any use for the breed you run?????BULLX RULE in my eyes. whats the raghound you run?

frost maybe its just that the bull crosses you've seen work are shite like so many are, imo that's often the case with all crosses...

i've had and tried them all and 90% are just not upto the job i want them for, however i have a bigger success rate with bull crosses than i do with the others apart from wheatens because i have'nt seen enough of them work, only 2 and they were both brilliant....

now the best dog i ever owned was a 3/4 grey 1/8 bull 1/8 collie, but i think he was definately an exception to the rule....

Im not about to start slaging people but i dont think the original question in this post warrents serious comment,

I s'pose that's part of the beauty of lurchers - there's one out there to suit us all and what we want them for. It'd be a boring old world if we all liked exactly the same thing, eh?

For what it's worth, I know that Frost's dogs can be counted on to do what HE requires of them - if they didn't, they wouldn't be around for long. Similarly, I have a mate who swears by bull x's and they're ideal FOR HIM and what HE does.

Each to their own.

Is this some kind ov wind up.How can you generalise like that. Thats like saying iv seen a few whippets and they are all really shy.Theres good and bad in every cross.As we all know bull crosses have many faults but so do Saluki's its personal chioce.

What does everyone think of this current obsession of everyone to have bull x's? Having been out more than a few times with several different lads with dogs that had varying amounts of bull blood in them and to be honest i do not rate them one bit.To me they are to slow and heavy built and when they do catch at times the quarry looked like it had been put through a mincer.True they look the part in a show ring but in the field what good are they?

once again a truly original and thought provoking post that really gets the grey matter moving i have not seen a topic as engrossing as this one since the differing drying speeds of white paint on the wickes web site thanks reallllllly enjoyed this one really made a change to see something quite out of the ordinary :clapper:
