  2. Blue Bull Dogs / Bull Crosses

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted

    The blue colour in dogs is just a dilution of black, just a genetic fault.

    The blue in the apbt didn't come from the sbt and vice versa, like I said it's just a genetic fault but some people obviously liked the colour and bred the dogs with the fault as so to produce more.

    It is possible that you could breed game bred dogs that are not blue and end up with a blue pup, but in general a lot of blue dogs tend to be curs, apparently.

    What's the difference between a whippet and working whippet. Most the coursing stuff was from show stuff and vice versa.

    Just picked up a nice whippet myself, pet for the partner ? ?

    A whippet that works or is bred from working parents. Doesn't mean to say you can't get a worker from show stuff but your taking more of a gamble in my opinion

    Someone point me in the right place. Or at least look at the dog's on pets4homes. Ther from Bilston West Midlands quality chocolate patterdale pups the add is. £350 I'm going to see the pups on sataday topic a pup n pay a deposit of £50.

    Your probably not going to find good workers on pets 4 homes mate, but if it's just gonna be a pet then it'll be fine.

    If you are after a working dog I would do plenty of research first and don't rush into anything.

  13. tug training

    Does playing tug with the Lurchers encorage them to be hard mouthed?

    Iv just been trying to build a bond with my pup, by playing tug, but Because she has 1/4 beddy she really goes hard on the rag.

     

    wondering if this is teaching her to grip everything that goes in her mouth for grim death?

    she is only 12 weeks old, but I don't really want to be doing something now that could mess her up

    or give me issues to deal with later on in her life if she is hard mouthed.

     

    any advice welcome lads... (shes my first pup so go easy :icon_redface: )

    As long as you get them to let go on command then you'll be fine just make sure you have that down to T.

    I have a young staff bull bitch who go crazy in a tug of war, growling and whining and shaking the tug like mad but when I say leave it she will instantly stop! That's the way you want it, for them to stop with no hesitation.

    It's the same as any fixed blade knife. If you have good reason to have it on you (like out hunting) it's fine. Having it in Tescos or the pub isn't.

    I've always got a knife on my belt ... Tesco pub everywhere ... but I do live in a very rural place ... people walk into the bank with their shotguns in a slip over their shoulder lol ......
    Sounds like my kind of place lol!!

    Are these ok to carry out in the field? Will the police buy it if you say it's for hunting?

    I asked my brother in law about this as he's a copper . He says if you got hunting stuff with you it's pretty obvious your hunting . If your just wandering around then they will do you
    Make sense, you always bump into that one though who wants to make a name for themselves lol!!

    Everyone bitching about how mcgregor talks trash and runs his mouth, the whole point of that is to get the fight noticed and people talking about it and it obviously works, the guy is a very smart business man!

    Doesn't matter what anyone thinks of him, he could care less the guy is a legend!

    And people talking about how mayweather annihilated him well mayweather is arguably the best boxer of all time and mcgregor went 10 rounds with him in his debut, not only that he landed 111 shots! Pacquio only landed 82 in 12 rounds! Someone name me another man on this planet that can do that!!

    What would you suggest jiggy?
    we used terriers for bushing for years and they are a pain for dropping to ground in the last place you want to put them. Get a larger breed like beagle x springer, or even beagle x terrier that might mark a hole but won't be as likely to drop in un wanted. Bring your terrier on a lead and you can pick and choose where you drop it giving you more control. You might not want 2 dogs if you haven't the space but it is worth it in the long term.
    well I have my little staff bull bitch who doesn't hesitate on going in to any sort of bush and flushing stuff out she's just not quick enough for catching anything so was really after something smaller
