Mars 42 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Good luck with your new pup mate, my advice would be to make sure you get the basics right. Obedience is the key cos i.m.o. once a Bull X gets going they take some stopping. I`ve got a Bull X bitch myself worked on all quarry you`d expect a dog of this cross to work in the UK and i also do obedience with her, which gives me summat to do during the summer months at shows.

Guest Lurchers2006 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Is it just me or was this thread started a year ago! This dog will be nearly 2 Quote Link to post
lat 29 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Well billy my advice would be not to start the pup to early, not till she is 12 months at least. concentrate on her obedience for now as Ive found they can be very head strong. Start with the basics getting her to sit then sit and stay then returning to you when you want her to. Give her loads of praise and treats when she does well and you wont go far wrong. Good luck.
