bull/greyhound

[runforyourlife 361]

hi,

i met a geezer yesterday, while walking my lurchers. He dog approached my 3 lurchers, i knew it was a lurcher of some kind, but i didnt know what. I asked the guy what kind of a lurcher it was, and he said a bullgreyhound.... It was very very skinny, with rib cage showing. Dont get me wrong, it was being ill treated, it had a lovely coat and he really liked the dog, but standing next to my bull, it looked very out of shape, or is it mine!!

 

This brings me to the question, how slim of thin or fat should a bull greyhound be??

 

I have inserted a pic of my bullgreyhound... plus my other 2 lurchers. cheers.

 

my bull is 7mths old.[attac

dogs look fine when the bullx is a bit older id say he will be alot more ripped and look more lean but the dog shouldnt be like that untill at earlyest 16 months dont get me wrong i dont mean dont keep them fit but i wouldnt have my dogs lean till they nead to be at best form and that will come with running them all the time not cutting there food in my opinion .

in my personal opinion bull x's can vary in depending on what bred with... as long as muscle is well defined and well fed and excercised then you'll find out for yourself in time... besides all that as long as the dog does the damage and does what you want it to do then there isn't a problem..... good luck pal, cracking looking mutts!!

Cheers mate, while we are on the subject, if anybody is interested in breeding with a full pit bull, let me know. It is a brindle dog, brilliant temprament, and is absolutly huge!!!

Any running dog or indeed any dog that will be expected to work, and work hard as an adoloscent into maturity needs firm foundations laying down. Shovell the grub(good quality grub) into him/ her as a sapling. Spare no expense because the effort you put in now will reap you benifits in the future. As your charge reaches working age (thats a can of worms in itself) you will see it develop in front of your eyes, as a rule of thumb, when my Bull crosses are fit, working fit, you might just see the last couple of ribs, and just about be able to feel his pin bones ( at the base of the back on top of legs). Again the cross you have will have a gret deal to do with it. My old Bull cross first cross had an arse on her like a bullock, and nothing would ever change that. But the main sign is, in my opinion, when flat out, does it come back knackered or not, yes it should be blowing a bit if its put some effort in, but it's recovery time is about a good an indicator as you'll get. Again, this is just my own opinion, and it could easily be a load of bollocks in someone else's opinion

Enjoy
