Not nonsence Frost , fact. You can take 100 of all firstx lurchers and the 1 with the highest pulling up rate or refusing to run rate will be the collie x . fact. It is very rare that you hear people comlain about this except in the collie blooded community. Im not saying that it doesnt in other breeds but the collie x imo is the highest offender. Prove me wrong please if you can. atb stabba.

IMHO a think you are more likely to get this traite of picking and choosing its runs in a first cross collie grey than any other breed of lurcher just going on exsperiance.atvb

I have 2 bullx bitches shaeo. Now before everyone starts with the "eeerrr bullx mentality" these bitches work to a high standard. any one can come and see my bitches in action on legal quarry and youll probably leave with a different view of the breed. Like ive already stated theyve got to be decent to stay in my kennels. atb stabba.

Keano. Not once did i mention the breed of my lurchers until shaneo asked me. ime 42 years old and been in the running dog game ever since i was big enough to look after my own dog. i did not and do not intend to turn this into a bullx v colliex slanging match. im replieing through experience with just about all breeds of running dogs not because i think 1 breed is better than another. If you look through this thread i did state that the colliex is the king of all rounders. atb stabba

i find bull xs if bred in the right way very good lurchers what i mean by bred in the right way is not to much bull in it hence you wouldent take a pure bred bull out on the lamp because you wouldent be comin home with feckall in my oppinion they have to be 3 or 4 times crossed out from the bull with realy pacey lurchers with good breeding lines and alot of stamina when bred like this your bull xs will make good allrounders on legal quarry and will give theyre 100% till they are retired and not before.atb shane

Nobody could ever persuade me to have a first cross again,must be the most lied about lurcher in existance,but a small amount of collie in a lurcher can be a good thing in my opinion.

i had collie wippet greyhound bout 6 years ago i had it since it was 5 when it was bout 8 it stoped running rabbits close to edges and if it was on a run when the rabbit got close to cover it would stop but ime not shaw if its just in collie crosses.

 

it,s the dog useing it head all lurcher x will do the same thing not just collie x bub atb

Wrong wrong wrong keano. all lurcherx dont pull up. ive got 2 bitches here that will try thier hearts out no matter what the quarry and no matter how far away it is. imo its usually the "too bright for its own good" collie x that does this. Ive owned them and got rid of them. any dog that pulls up is of no use to me. atb stabba

well stabba i have a beardie cross he just hit 2 years and he wont run what he can't catch although the land i run is mainly quarry land so he realises he cant catch rabbits which are sat on sets on embankments which is a plus side to me as i dont have worries over injurys i coulldnt take a dog with no brains onto this land as it would end up brown bread the same dog on different land will catch a good run to kill ratio without running every rabbit he see's within 500 yards

i think all lurchers to some degree catch on when they get to a certin age when to chase a lost cause more so in rabbit dogs than any thing else a fox dog or a deer dog pre ban of course would be always breaking ditches after quarry so would not really stop as they get older

Scenario. Picture the scene. Youve been lamping for a good 2 hours. Every rabbit youve seen has been in the hedge bottom. Now how many of you men (and women) who have a dog that wont entrtain these rabbits wouldnt secretly be wishing that there dog would snap out of this stubborn streak or whatever you prefer to call it and grow some nuts and at least have a go. infact if ever you do have a nite like that give me a call and my girls will happily mop a few of them up for you. atb stabba
