collie/grey 238 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I have both, not much difference between the two, the bull x is more headstrong, the collie x uses her brain more, if your going to get more rabbit than fox get a collie x, or bull x if more fox. Quote Link to post

Rabbithunter 456 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 not a big fan of bull cross..... but everyone has their own preferences...... in fact, the young dog i have now has a very small amount of bull in him and is not showing any of the "typical" bull traits..... he's good with the kids and does what i tell him, except retrieve little shit...... sure i'll get him sorted when he's nailing bunny's if you want stamina,,,go for collie x if you want jaw power,,,go for bull x Quote Link to post
