sniper 30 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 if i wanted a fox killer i wouldnt go for 1 mate, but i think it would depend on the dog. yes ano what you mean mate. not for out and out fox killing but just like if it came across one every so often would it kill them?

Guest archiet Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 It amazes me how many people think that a Bull x is the be all and end all of fox dogs ,having kept Greyhounds over the years i can assure you any lurcher with a fair percentage of Greyhound in it's blood will have a good chance of taking reynard,yes the bull adds the element of allowing the dog to take a bit of punishment and having a powerful jaw can only add to it's assets but 90% of pure Greyhounds will demolish a fox in seconds believe you me.Any 1/2 cross or 3/4 bred Greyhound lurcher including the Saluki x will have as much chance as any at doing fox and that includes the bull x.

artic 595 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Entered correctly, the Sal x Grey will take reynard. But saying that not every sal x grey will take to them. Just like any dog really. They either have it or they dont! Quote Link to post
