Ridgeback X V Bull X

[lampinglurcher 36]

watch this like about dog bite power

 

i wouldnt do that job for any money..........why arent rotties banned then?

 

at the moment in the uk its only fighting dogs that are banned. even though rotties kill more people around the world than any other breed of dog.

 

 

got any official stats to back that?

the principle of the game ie hunting is to not just kill have a brain and fetch and not munch everything up at times, i think a ridge cross qaulity greys would get a decent dog but getting the all round ridge is the prob who has proven itself, as for pitbulls my old budy had some his dogs were not big heavy things and were lite built ,but were game as thye won things etc,all youse guys go on about pit bulls if they are this and that,i no people who put a few away cause they were not trusted and some that were , you dont need a pitbull cross to do rabbs foxes deer and hold other things but you do no how to enter dogs correctly,

 

 

agree with that

You cant say whats better a bull x or a ridgeback x they are two completely differnt breeds which work in differnt ways. It like saying whats better a collie x or a bullx? Well it depends what you want from a dog!! There brains dont work the same, they might both have prey drive and hunting abilitys but they work in very differnt ways

my old ridgeback x greys sire was a working ridgeback it was used to flush deer and fox to guns and lurchers pre-ban and it would also get stuck in .

it was also used at the end of a dig pre-ban to draw

They might have the Drive but are they Game enough to do the job over and over again?

Maybe but werent they bred for tougher game than we have. Lions etc? Idspose this would be long gone out of them by now but i would love to see 1/4 ridge 3/4 grey in action to see how it would do but id spose the lurcher breeds we have at the moment are there for a reason

-

 

 

I totally agree.. The fact in which they where bred for large game must mean somthing, This could be an interesting dog in my mind... I think that after generations they could make an awsome dog..

 

i believe they were originaly used in south africa to hunt lions

This is why I want to know why they are not used as lurchers often????? Like the pit was used for dog fighting, why does this make them a better dog to cross into greyhound than something that is faster than them and was bred to HUNT? And just to clarify I have nothing against bull crosses. someone said i was slating bull crosses on the forum but this is not true. I just cant stant the chavs that have them for their apperance and to give them the hard man look, and hunt pigs with them the odd weekend and are delighted when they get marked up so they will look tougher. as for the real dog men that prefer bull crosses spot on

I don't think Ridgebacks ever mixed It with the Lion... They were just used as a Baying Dog!

 

And as for the Bull x thing, If you've got a good Gamebred Staff/Pitbull/English Bull etc.. There's not much that can match their Gameness.

I wouldnt say the ridge isnt game because it bayed the lion. This is a lion were talking about not a fox. A bull would go straight to its death if given this task as they have more drive than brains. I know as I had a staffy. Just because the ridge wasnt suicidal when hunting the lion doesnt mean that it wouldnt go straight for the neck of any mamal over here.

breeding to hunt or track is very different to breed to attack!! and they are'nt even breed for that now anyway and have'nt been for sometime! they have what seems to much great dane blood in them now(they are much bigger and the head is changing shape) to be any good.

pits are not only extremly game but are also the athlete of the dog world they will put 110% into everything they do. ridgebacks are show dogs in this country and youd have to go all the way to south africa to get a good one. they fall into the same catagory as mastiffs in this country.... ruined.

would have to agree with that.my mate has a good bull cross , his wife breeds ridge backs. hes got plenty rabbits and theyre not bothered. i asked him about a ridgex . he said he wouldnt waste his time. stick to the bullx.im sure theres a few good ones but i dont thnk you could use any ridge back
