A good read, plus if ever you were looking for a good working dog, its a good place to have look

most will say BULL x , but i wouldnt say there is a best , any dog with the HEART could take fox ... seen some handy dogs with no bull in at all do well , some even better than bull xs , all comes down to the dog i think . but thats my opinion .
I would have said bullx, but as above its down to each dog, what as the heart for it.
I had 3/8 collie 5/8 grey, he was 26ins 70lb. He would tackle anything
do a fox, he would take a feckin lion on.

or why not get a bullxgrey to a colliex grey best of both worlds
Yes there seem to be a few pups of that x about at the moment.

If you could get a colliexgreyx deerhoundxgreyhound, that could be just right for you. With this x
you should have good feet+ coat, and good pace and stamina ,plus it be strong enough to tackle
anthing that bite's back. This x dogs = 24 26ins+ 50 65lb , bitchs bit smaller.

Hope the dog is ok
, but when you run them in the summer this is what can happen 
. If you have to do pest control use a gun, i try to run mine from sep , barbwireis a b*****d any time of the year
, but atleast you can see it in the winter. Lurchersare a tough old dog he should be ok.

The best ive ever seen, a 1x staff grey [ tug] he was 26ins 70lb, he took no prisoners

Gaz, why dont you try a GSD. If you get a well bred one, from working lines[not this country]
A male of say 80lbs, would stop any fecker. Dont forget it would be alot sharper, than alot of
the bigger guard dogs. A well bred GSD, are brave and will tackle anthing, thats why the cops
use them. You dont see many of the big breed's do you.???

in your opinion or experience what is the best cross to catch hare and fox but not shy of a rabbit either (in the past obviously)
Well ive had lurchers 25years+, ive had bullxs, colliexs, whippet[none ped] and bitza lurcher.
In all xs you can get shit, so if bred well. A 2x collie grey, or a 2x bull grey[ not to heavy]
will catch rabbits,fox,hare, these xs will catch the odd hare's, but they are not hare dogs.
My best lurcher was the bitza, she was colliexwhippetxgreyxgreyx?. She was 25 ins and 55lb,
she was a great catch dog, good stamina, and tackle anything
She lived till she was14 years old, a really top dog.
With all lurchers, you got to have that bit of luck,and drop on a good'un, one with big heart

Who needs a big dog, when you have them 65lb of muscle and teeth, and hit like a rocket.
They would be a burglar worst nightmare

depends on how mature the dog is really in my eyes. some mature quicker than others. ill be looking at the 12 months mark.. maybe a bit sooner? maybe later? only time will tell. but my advise is, dont rush nothing. let time take its course mate
Spot on, and a nice pup aswell

You want to keep taking it everyday, try some training by the sheep, with the dog on the lead
first. If the dog is ok, just a couple of short recall's, keep doing this . When you are happy with
this, try longer recalls if still ok good. You want to train , throw a ball all by the sheep. As i said
the dog as got to be interested in you and nothing else. I have been taking my pup by stock,
for the last 7 months. You want to be 100% sure, its the only way.
BIRD

Its just her age, from now till say 14months old they will try it on. Just go back to basic training
for a week, and do your recall a small area. Once it knows it carnt get away with it, then you
are back on track

It sounds a nice x, just ready for this season coming

Make every thing a game, how old is your pup.?
BIRD
she is 8 monts. thnks
ebo
Whats the recall like,? if ok . Then start in a confine area [kitchen or a hall way] with a ball or its
toy. as i said its got to be a game, it should all come together if your recall is a 100%. Thats what i
do , and ive had lurchers 25years+, it works for me. When pups catch there first rabbit or 6 rabbits
they might feck about, its no big deal its just a rabbit. My best retriever was a fecker as pup
, but when caught a couple dozen. He would jump 5 bar gates, ditches , with a rabbit right back to hand. just give it time.BIRD

A cracking era for boxing was the Hagler,Hearns,Duran and Sugar Ray Leanard era,they seemed to fight each other every other month back then but nobody seemed to mind too much as you knew you were going to see worlds class fighter fighting a war...no pay per view or stupid over the top hype with these fights because these guys fighting sold the fights themselves.
Ive always liked the explosive fighters too, so guys like Nigel Benn,David Tua and Mike Tyson and the like were up there with my favourite fighters but as a few have already said i think there will be only one Ali
Same here
No1 Ali Ali shuffle great BIRD

There have not got to be hard, or they will keep splitting. Just keep them supple [ moist]

Training classes as planned is a good idea.
When you call the pup make it exciting and it'll want to return.
Spot on
plus a little titbit can always help.BIRD

i dont think it matters that much with the percentages because there's still so much variation....i've seen fast racey half crosses and big heavy 3/8 5/8's.....there always an eliment of look involved when picking a pup....but imo if both parents have been tested properly your in with half a chance.....just remember, some do, most dont.
Spot on

Dogs most likely to bite you

My brother got bit by a dalmatian, it got him in the hand. Now i tell you what, he said it was like
having your hand hit with a feckin lump hammer
All dogs cant hurt, lets be honest
here there a some breeds , that if they do attack you are in deep Trouble
.
I grew up with staff's, and had lurchers 25 years+, and we all know what they are capable of.
So if you had asked my brother, what worse a 12lb Jack Russell or 50lb Dalmatian having a go
at you,
i know what my brother would feckin tell you.
